Because it's the planet in our solar system with the shortest,
fastest orbit around the sun ... only 88 Earth days.

The people who named it didn't know that ... they still thought that
the sun and all the planets revolve around the Earth.  But they did
see it zip from one side of the sun to the other, faster than any other
planet ... the result of having the shortest, fastest orbit of any planet.

Option E, Fiat money includes currency, checking deposits and credit cards .

<u>Explanation: </u>

Fiat money has been the currency issued by the government which is not sponsored by actual resources like gold or silver, but by the country that approved it.

Instead of the price of a product, the valuation of fiat money is extracted from the connection between production and consumption and stability of the authorizing state. Fiat currencies, including that of the U.S. dollar, euro, and other major international currencies seem to be the most common paper currencies.

One risk for fiat money is to print too many of those by regimes that contribute to hyperinflation.

Fiat money is government-supported monetary money and is treated as a legal tender. The capital is provided by physical goods such as valuable metals or instruments including checks and credit cards. The world currencies, backed by gold, were symbolic until 1971.

Temperature Dependence of the pH of pure Water
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

At 100°C, the pH of pure water is 6.14. That is the neutral point on the pH scale at this higher temperature. A solution with a pH of 7 at this temperature is slightly alkaline because its pH is a bit higher than the neutral value of 6.14.

A 2.31 kg rope is stretched between supports 10.4 m apart. If one end of the rope is tweaked, how long will it take for the resu
zlopas [31]

Answer:

t = 0.657 s

Explanation:

First, let's use the appropiate equations to solve this:

V = √T/u

This expression gives us a relation between speed of a disturbance and the properties of the material, in this case, the rope.

Where:

V: Speed of the disturbance

T: Tension of the rope

u: linear density of the rope.

The density of the rope can be calculated using the following expression:

u = M/L

Where:

M: mass of the rope

L: Length of the rope.

We already have the mass and length, which is the distance of the rope with the supports. Replacing the data we have:

u = 2.31 / 10.4 = 0.222 kg/m

Now, replacing in the first equation:

V = √55.7/0.222 = √250.9

V = 15.84 m/s

Finally the time can be calculated with the following expression:

V = L/t ----> t = L/V

Replacing:

t = 10.4 / 15.84

t = 0.657 s
