A).  The sun is highest in London, but will not pass the ship
for another 5 hours.

Since the sun moves from east to west, the ship must be
5 hours west of Greenwich.

Each hour of sun motion is 15° of longitude. 
The ship's longitude is (5 x 15°) = 75° West. 

The ship may be sailing down Columbia Boulevard
in Maple Shade, New Jersey.


B).  The latitude at Buffalo's City Hall is 42.887° North.

Polaris is always within about 2/3 of a degree of that angle
above the northern horizon, when viewed from City Hall.

Choice  2)  is the most appropriate.

What is the frequency of orange light is it has a wavelength of 6.2 x 10^-6<br> meters?
Tanya [424]

λ=v/f

λ-wavelength

v-speed

f-frequency

we have the wavelength(6.2 x 10^-6meters) and we use the speed of light which is equal to 3*10^8m/s

6.2*10^-6m=3*10^8m/s/f

f=(3*10^8m/s)/(6.2*10^-6)≈0.48*10^14Hz

what do scientific models predict will happen to Earths oceans if current trends continue unmitigated?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

I think that the answer is "Coral bleaching will continue to harm aquatic organisms.

Explanation:

Global warming causes the ocean temperatures to rise and also its pH to decrease due to increased dissolved carbon dioxide in the waters.

Due to the unfavorable temperatures and pH, the algae dissociate from the symbiotic relationship with coral polyps (as a survival mechanism) hence leaving the coral white (coral bleaching).

The symbiotic relationship is key for the survival of the coral polyps hence most die following the dissociation.

This upsets the reef ecosystem and affects all aquatic organisms that depend on the reef.

A car has two horns, one emitting a frequency of 199 hz and the other emitting a frequency of 203 hz. what beat frequency do the
andriy [413]
Beat frequency, fb = |f2-f1|

That is, beat frequency is the absolute difference between two frequencies. Is is as a results of destructive and constructive inferences.

Therefore, in this case:

fb = 203 - 199 = 4 Hz
