To calculate the distance to a star, astronomers observe it from different places along Earth's orbit around the Sun. If they measure the object's position several months apart, their "two eyes" will have a separation of well over 100 million miles!

How are weather satellites and weather stations similar?
alexandr402 [8]
<span>Weather satellites and weather stations are similar, because they both have the same purpose. They are used to help predict future weather as well as as current conditions. The satellites are viewing the weather from a distance at a large scope, but stations are using data they collect on earth to help with the same task.</span>

You walk forward at 1.5 m/s for 8s. Your friend decides to walk faster and starts out at 2.0 m/s for the first 4 s. Then she slo
Troyanec [42]
The first thing you should know is that the distance is equal to the speed per time.
 Therefore if You walk forward at 1.5 m / s for 8s
 d = 1.5t [0,8] s
 Your friend decides to walk faster and starts at 2.0 m / s for the first 4 s.
 d = 2t [0,4] s
 Then she slows down and walks forward at 1.0 m / s for the next 4s
 d = t + 4 [4,8] s
 Who walked farther?
 They both walked the same distance
 12 meters

Explain the geometrical meaning of vertor Product of<br>two vectors<br>​
patriot [66]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

For the geometric meaning, I've attached a parallelogram showing two vectors a and B and also the angle between them as θ.

We can see that the two vectors are adjacent to each other.

So the magnitude of the product of the two vectors is simply the area of the parallelogram which is base x height. Thus;

Magnitude = |a| sin θ × |b|

This can be rewritten as;

|a|•|b| sin θ
