Buffalo, New York, and Raleigh, NC, lie approximately on the same meridian. Buffalo has a latitude of 42.9° N, and Raleigh has a

latitude of 35.8° N. Find the distance between these two cities. (The radius of the earth is 3960 mi. Round your answer to the nearest mile.)

Answer:

Distance will be =3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles

Explanation:

We have given that Buffalo has a latitude of 42.9°N

And Raleigh has a latitude of 35.8°N

Radius of the earth = 3960 miles

We have to calculate the distance between given two cities

Difference in their latitudes = 42.9-35.8=7.1^{\circ}

Now changing the angle in radian = 7.1\times\frac{\pi }{180}=0.12385radian

So distance will be =3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles

Answer:

Light refracts when its speed changes as it enters a new medium.

Explanation:

Bending of light wave while it entering a medium with different speed is called refraction of light. Light passing from a faster medium to the slower medium bends the light rays toward the normal to boundary between two media. The amount of the  bending of light depends on refractive index of the two media which is described by  the Snell's Law. The angle of incidence is not equal to  angle of refraction. Rainbow is caused but this refraction phenomena. Also Refraction is used in magnifying glasses, prism and lenses

Barnard’s Star is a red dwarf. It is located 5.9 light years from Earth. (One light year is the same as 9.46 trillion kilometers
mote1985 [20]
A star is located 5.9 light years from Earth.
We know that : 1 light year = 9.46  trillion kilometers.
We will calculate the distance in trillion kilometers multiplying the number of light years by 9.46:
5.9 * 9.46 = 55.814
Answer: The distance is 55.814 trillion km.

Three identical capacitors are connected in parallel to a battery. if a total charge of q flows from the battery, how much charg
muminat

Each capacitor carry the same charge 'q'.

Discussion:
The voltage from the battery is distributed equally across all of the capacitors when they are linked in series. The three identical capacitors' combined voltage is computed as follows:

V_{T} = V₁ +V₂ +V₃

This voltage may also be calculated using capacitance and charge;

V = Q/ C

V_{T} = V₁ +V₂ +V₃

Provided that the total charge is 'q', hence the total voltage can be expressed as:

V_{T} = (Q/C₁) + (Q/C₂) + (Q/C₃) = Q(1/C₁ +1/C₂ +1/C₃)

Therefore from the above explanation, it is concluded that each and every capacitor carry same charge 'q'.
