The ____ states that between 15 and 20 billion years ago, the universe began expanding out of an enormous explosion. A. H-R diagram
B. binary star theory
C. Big Bang theory
D. "big crunch" theory

Answers

In my opinion, the correct answer among the choices listed above is option C. The Big Bang Theory states that between 15 and 20 billion years ago, the universe began expanding out of an enormous explosion. However, the exact number is approximately 13.8 billion years ago.

Answer:

Big Bang theory

Explanation:

The big bang theory describes the beginning of the universe. According this theory, all the matter of the universe was confined at a point and about 15-20 billion years ago, it started expanding out of a huge explosion -the big bang. The universe has been expanding since then. The discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation provides the evidence to this theory.

Thus, the correct option is C.

A tank with a flat bottom is filled with water to a height of 4 meters. What is the pressure at any point at the bottom of the tank? (You can ignore atmospheric pressure when calculating your answer.)A. 18.9 kPa
B. 9.8 kPa
C.39.2 kPa
D. 4.0 kPa

Answers

Answer

C.39.2 kPa


Explanation

The pressure in liquids depend on the depth or what we call the liquid column(h), the density of the liquid(σ) and the the acceleration due to gravity(g).

h = 4.00 m

σ = 1000 Kg/m³

g = 9.8m/s²


Pressure Is given by;

P = σgh

= 1000 × 9.8 × 4

= 39200 Pa

=39.2 KPa

P=pgh, remeber that g=9.8 , so ignoring the atmosheric pressure youwould just multiply 9.8x4 and you would get 39.2KPa

Sean climbs a tower that is 71.3 m high to make a jump with a parachute. The mass of Sean plus the parachute is 81.4 kg. If U = 0 at ground level, what is the potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower?

Answers

Answer:

U = 56877.4 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body is that which it possesses because it is located at a certain height above the surface of the earth and can be calculated using the following formula:

U = mgh Formula (1)

Where:

U is the potential energy in Joules (J)

m is the mass of the body in kilograms (kg)

g is the acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

h is the height at which the body is found from the surface of the earth in meters (m)

Data

m= 81.4 kg

g= 9.8 m/s²

h = 71.3 m

Potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower

We replace data in the formula (1)

U = m*g*h

U = (81.4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(71.3 m)

U = 56877.4 N*m

U = 56877.4 J

An object travels 100 meters in 10 seconds time. What would be its Velocity (Speed) ?A 1000 meters/second
B 100 meters/second
C 1 meter/second
D 10 meters/second
Other ___________

Answers

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter D) 10 m/s

Explanation:

Data

distance = 100 m

time = 10 s

velocity = ?

Definition. Velocity is the rate of change of distance with respect to time.

Formula

              Velocity = distance / time

-Substitution

              Velocity = 100 / 10

-Simplification

              Velocity = 10 meters/second

Challenge: Some but not all of the gasoline used by car's enegine is transformed into kinetic energy. Where might some of the energy go in this system?

Answers

Most of the excess energy is released as waste heat into the air surrounding the engine. Small amounts of excess energy are also released as sound energy, and as electrical energy generated by the alternator in a car's engine.
