Which coordinate system would be most useful for two observers (one in Michigan and one in Florida) who wants to observe the sam
Mkey [24]

Answer : Celestial or azimuth - altitude

Explanation :  

Celestial : The celestial coordinates that are analogous to longitude and latitude are called RA and Dec.

RA = Right Ascension

Dec = Declination

RA is the measured in unit of time and Dec is measured in degree.

The equatorial coordinate system is the projection of the latitude and longitude coordinate system on the celestial sphere.

Azimuth - altitude :  Azimuth - altitude define the location of an object in the sky.

The altitude is the distance of an object appears to be above the horizon.

The Azimuth of the object is the angular distance  along the horizon to the location of the object.

Describe the agronomic significance of the upper and lower plastic limits, and of the plasticity index?​
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:It shows the size of the range of the moisture contents at which the soil remains plastic. In general, the plasticity index depends only on the amount of clay present. It indicates the fineness of the soil and its capacity to change shape without altering its volume.

A train 471 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 75.1 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and l
hram777 [196]

Answer:

t = 37.6 s

Explanation:

As we know that train is initially moving with the speed

v_i = 75.1 km/h

now we know that

v_i = 20.86 m/s

now the final speed of the train when it crossed the crossing

v_f = 15 km/h

v_f = 4.17 m/s

now we can use kinematics here

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

4.17^2 - 20.86^2 = 2 a(471)

a = -0.44 m/s^2

Now the time to cross that junction is given as

v_f - v_i = at

4.17 - 20.86 = a(-0.44)

t = 37.6 s

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is "6666.67 N".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass,

m = 0.100

Relative speed,

v = 4.00 x 10³

time,

t = 6.00 x 10⁻⁸

As we know,

⇒  F=m(\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} )

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒      =0.100\times 10^{-6}(\frac{4\times 10^3}{6\times 10^{-8}} )

⇒      =6666.67 \ N

A wave With wavelength 20 m has a frequency of 12 Hz what is the waves speed
pentagon [3]

Answer:

240m/s

Explanation:

The equation to calculate is wavelength= velocity/ frequency so to find the velocity you would have to multiply frequency by wavelength.
