That is false because thermal energy is the heat inside the candle so the only one that would make sense is chemical bonds

False the correct answer is chemical bonds instead of thermal energy

You hold a metal block of mass 40 kg above your head at a height of 2 m.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The work done by gravity is 784 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, $m=40\ kg$

Height to which it is raised is, $h=2\ m$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

Now, work done by gravity is equal to the product of force of gravity and the distance moved in the direction of gravity. So,

$\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h$

Force of gravity is given as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

$\therefore F_g=mg=40\times 9.8=392\ N$ . Now,

$\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h=392\times 2=784\ J$

Therefore, the work done by gravity is 784 J.

How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system

scZoUnD [109]

<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sunâ€™s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earthâ€™s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earthâ€™s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>

What are the periodic variations in Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun that alter the way solar radiation is distributed

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

1. The precession of the equinoxes.

2. Changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

3. Variations in the eccentricity

Explanation:

These variations listed above; the precession of the equinoxes (refers, changes in the timing of the seasons of summer and winter), this occurs on a roughly about 26,000-year interval; changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, this occurs roughly in a 41,000-year interval; and changes in the eccentricity (that is a departure from a perfect circle) of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, occurring on a roughly 100,000-year timescale. which influences the mean annual solar radiation at the top of Earth’s atmosphere.

A football player with a mass of 88 kg and a speed of 2.0 m/s collides head-on with a player from the opposing team whose mass i

Ket [755]

Answer:

Speed of another player, v₂ = 1.47 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of football player, m₁ = 88 kg

Speed of player, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of player of opposing team, m₂ = 120 kg

The players stick together and are at rest after the collision. It shows an example of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V$
