One observer stand on a train moving at a constant speed, and one observer stands at rest on the ground. The person on the train

stands at the back of the car and turns on a flashight; the light travels to the front of the car, bounces off a mirror, and returns to the back of the car (assume the light is traveling in a vacuum). the observer on the train measures the time it takes for the light to take this path and knowing the length of the car, calculates the speed of light. What value does he obtain?
a) Greater than c

b) Equal to c

c) Less than c

d) The speed of the light canot be determined without knowing the speed of the train

The average radius of Mars is 3,397 km. If Mars completes one rotation in 24.6 hours, what is the tangential speed of objects on
sammy [17]

Answer: First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.  

                                     C = 2πr

Substituting the known values,

                                     C = 2(π)(3,397 km) = 6794π km

To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,

                   tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h

Which geologic feature most likely be represented by contour lines drawn far apart from one another?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer;

A plain

Explanation;

A contour line connects points of the same elevation. Contour lines are usually curves. Closed contours represent hills.

Contour lines can not cross since they represent different elevations. A contour interval is the difference in elevation between one contour and an adjacent contour.
