I have a strange hunch that there's some more material or previous work
that goes along with this question, which you haven't included here.
I can't easily find the dates of Mercury's extremes, but here's some of the
other data you're looking for:
Distance at Aphelion (point in it's orbit that's farthest from the sun):
<span><span><span><span><span>69,816,900 km
0. 466 697 AU</span>
</span>
</span>
</span>
<span>
Distance at Perihelion
(</span></span><span>point in it's orbit that's closest to the sun):</span>
<span><span><span><span>46,001,200 km
0.307 499 AU</span> </span>
Perihelion and aphelion are always directly opposite each other in
the orbit, so the time between them is 1/2 of the orbital period.
</span><span>Mercury's Orbital period = <span><span>87.9691 Earth days</span></span></span></span>
1/2 (50%) of that is 43.9845 Earth days
The average of the aphelion and perihelion distances is
1/2 ( 69,816,900 + 46,001,200 ) = 57,909,050 km
or
1/2 ( 0.466697 + 0.307499) = 0.387 098 AU
This also happens to be 1/2 of the major axis of the elliptical orbit.
The answer is a matter of opinion, and you're going to get different answers
from different people. Here's <u>my</u> take on it:
The writers, producers and advertising sponsors of these shows certainly
don't think they're boring. And <em><u>definitely</u></em> neither do the TV networks that
decide which ones to broadcast.
I'm not trying to say "The experts don't think they're boring, so you must
be wrong". I'm trying to say that different people have different opinions
about the same shows, and in <em>your</em> case,<em> you</em> find them boring.
My conclusion is this:
I think you're finding TV shows boring nowadays because you're growing
as a person. You've grown, developed, and matured to the point where
you're above the level of audience that the shows are pitched for. That's
a very good thing !
You're sad because you used to get pleasure and entertainment from TV,
and now it doesn't give you those things. That's like losing an old friend,
that you used to have such fun playing with, but he just doesn't do it for
you any more.
Now that you've grown up, you've made new friends. With them, you do
things that you wouldn't even understand with your younger friends. And
you develop new interests, like ... I don't know ... books, movies, hobbies,
your church, your profession, learning new things, developing new skills,
exercising your brain, writing, volunteer work, ham radio, building fine
furniture, singing, learning to write music, raising tropical plants, sculpture,
politics ... whatever turns you on. Some people never grow past the stage
where staring at the tube is all they need in life, because they don't have
what it takes to be interested in anything else. Those are the people that
TV is aimed at. But you have more, and that's why TV isn't enough for you.
There are other possible reasons why TV bores you. But until I know more
about you, I think it's a very, very good sign.
Answer:
865.08 m
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial velocity (u) = 243 m/s
Height (h) of the cliff = 62 m
Horizontal distance (s) =?
Next, we shall determine the time taken for the cannon to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:
Height (h) of the cliff = 62 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) =?
h = ½gt²
62 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
62 = 4.9 × t²
Divide both side by 4.9
t² = 62/4.9
Take the square root of both side.
t = √(62/4.9)
t = 3.56 s
Finally, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the cannon ball as shown below:
Initial velocity (u) = 243 m/s
Time (t) = 3.56 s
Horizontal distance (s) =?
s = ut
s = 243 × 3.56 s
s = 865.08 m
Thus, the cannon ball will impact the ground 865.08 m from the base of the cliff.
Answer:
In any energy transformation, energy is the change of energy from one form to another.
