Answer:

becuase counting by hours is more complicated. then days, to make it easier to understand instead of saying I will see you in 48 hours... its easier to understand and think to say see you in 2 days!

Explanation:

hope this helps. also we did not determine time. people from history did so... wasnt really my choice or anyones!

How far will a car travel in 25 seconds at 10m/ min

Kryger [21]

Time = 25s
speed = 10m/min
= 10m / 60
= (1/6)m/s

distance = speed × time
= 25 × (1/6)
=4.167m

leva [86]

Answer:

b. Both stars will have the same shift.

Explanation:

It's a very simple problem to solve. Star 1 is approaching toward Earth with a speed v, so let's assume that the change in Doppler Shift is +F and Star 2 is moving away so the change in Doppler shift is -F. But it's time to notice the speed of both stars and that is same but only directions are different. speed is the main factor here. The magnitude of both shifts is F as we can see and + and - are showing there direction of motion. So, because of same amount of speed, both stars will have same shift magnitude. (Just the directions are different)

You know your mass is 62 kg but when you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator it says your mass is 77 kg what is the acceler

lbvjy [14]

In a stationary situation, the weight of person is
$W=mg=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 608.2 N$
This is the weight "felt" by the scale, which is basically the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which uses the value of g (9.81) as reference to convert the weight (602.8 N) into a mass (62 kg).

When the person is in the elevator, the scale says 77 kg. The scale is still using the same value of conversion (9.81), so the apparent weight "felt" by the scale is
$W' = m'g=(77 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=755.4 N$
This is the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which is directed upward. Besides this force, there is still the weight W of the person, acting downward. So, if we use Newton's second law:
$\sum F = ma$
$W-W'=ma$
where a is the acceleration of the elevator. If we solve for a, we find
$a= \frac{W-W'}{m}= \frac{608.2N-755.4N}{62 kg}=-2.37 m/s^2$
The negative sign means the acceleration is in the opposite direction of g (which we take positive), so it means the elevator is going upward.

On a Saturday afternoon, you decide to pay a neighborhood kid to mow your lawn. The kid usesa manual push lawn mower with a mass

Mars2501 [29]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

A.Mass,m=12 kg

$\theta=53^{\circ}$

$\mu_k=0.16$

Speed,v=1.5m/s

Net force in x direction must be zero

$F_{net}=0$

$Fsin\theta-f=0$

$Fsin\theta=f$

Net force in y direction

$N-mg-Fcos\theta=0$

$N=mg+Fcos\theta$

$f=\mu_kN=\mu_k(mg+Fcos\theta)$

$Fsin\theta=\mu_k(mg+Fcos\theta)$

$Fsin\theta=\mu_kmg+\mu_kFcos\theta$

$Fsin\theta-\mu_kFcos\theta=\mu_kmg$

$F(sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta)=\mu_kmg$

$F=\frac{\mu_kmg}{sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta}$

Power,P=Fv

$P=\frac{\mu_kmg}{sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta}v$

Where $g=9.8m/s^2$

B.Substitute the values

$P=\frac{0.16\times 12\times 9.8}{sin53-0.16cos53}\times 1.5$

$P=40.17W$

Answer:

C) rift valley

Explanation:

A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formation—long, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.
