The hypotenuse is measured at 120 meters of string, and you need to solve for the leg of the triangle that is horizontal. The degree is 40, so use trigonometry to figure it out. 
Cosin (40) is equal to around .766 
Adjacent/Hypotenuse 
x/120 = cos40 
Answer: 91.92533. 
If you use 3 significant figures it should be 91.9 meters.

Two protons are released from rest when they are 0.750 {\rm nm} apart.
Alex787 [66]

Explanation:

Given:

m = 1.673 × 10^-27 kg

Q = q = 1.602 × 10^-19 C

r = 0.75 nm

= 0.75 × 10^-9 m

A.

Energy, U = (kQq)/r

Ut = 1/2 mv^2 + 1/2 mv^2

1.673 × 10^-27 × v^2 = (8.99 × 10^9 × (1.602 × 10^-19)^2)/0.75 × 10^-9

v = 1.356 × 10^4 m/s

B.

F = (kQq)/r^2

F = m × a

1.673 × 10^-27 × a = ((8.99 × 10^9 × (1.602 × 10-19)^2)/(0.075 × 10^-9)^2

a = 2.45 × 10^17 m/s^2.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Paleontologists have argued for a long time that the demise of the dinosaurs was caused by climatic alterations associated with slow changes in the positions of continents and seas resulting from plate tectonics. Off and on throughout the Cretaceous (the last period of the Mesozoic era, during which dinosaurs flourished), large shallow seas covered extensive areas of the continents. Data from diverse sources, including geochemical evidence preserved in seafloor sediments, indicate that the Late Cretaceous climate was milder than today's. The days were not too hot, nor the nights too cold. The summers were not too warm, nor the winters too frigid. The shallow seas on the continents probably buffered the temperature of the nearby air, keeping it relatively constant.
