Deltas are complex depositional landforms that develop at the mouths of rivers. They are composed of sediment that is deposited as a river enters a standing body of water and loses forward momentum. Famous deltas include the Mississippi delta in Louisiana and the Nile delta in Egypt.

The position-time graph for a bug crawling along a line is shown in item 4 below. Determine whether the velocity is positive, ne
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: The velocity at different marked time points are given as

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

Explanation:

The slope of the tangent of the curve indicates the instantaneous velocity. So if the slope of the tangent is positive, that Is, the tangent makes a positive angle (above the horizontal axis) with the horizontal

axis, then the velocity at this point is positive, and if the slope of the tangent is negative, that is the tangent makes a negative angle with the horizontal axis (below the horizontal axis), then the velocity at this point is negative.

When the tangent of the line is parallel to the horizontal axis, the velocity is 0.

From the position-time graph attached, the sign on the instantaneous velocity for each time marked on the graph is given below

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

tankabanditka [31]

Explanation:

Radio Telescope:

1. FAST (Five Hundred Meter Aperture Spherical Telescope), China is the largest single dish radio telescope in the world with a dish of diameter 500 meters. Although its construction is over but its not yet functional.

2. Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico is the largest single dish <em>operational</em> radio telescope having a single dish of diameter 305 meters..

X - ray Telescope: Chandra X ray observatory also known as Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF) is the largest x-ray telescope with aperture of 1.2 meters. It can detect X-ray sources which are 100 times fainter in comparison to any previous telescope.

Gamma ray telescope: Fermi Gamma ray telescope is the largest gamma ray telescope.

Jen pushed a box for a distance of 80m with 20 N of force. How much work did she do?
Drupady [299]
The answer is 1,600 J.

A work (W) can be expressed as a product of a force (F) and a distance (d):
W = F · d<span>

We have:
W = ?
F = 20 N = 20 kg*m/s</span>²
d = 80 m
_____
W = 20 kg*m/s² * 80 m
W = 20 * 80 kg*m/s² * m
W = 1600 kg*m²/s²
W = 1600 J
