You're reading an article about forest fires in california and it features a photograph of firefighters battling a fire on a hil

lside next to a freeway. the firefighters are at the bottom of the hill using a firehose to control a fire that's in the middle of the hill. you're curious how fast the water is exiting the nozzle. analyzing the photograph in photoshop, you determine that the firehose nozzle is being held 2.1 m above the ground and is angled 43 ∘ above the horizontal. furthermore, the water from the hose lands on the hill 30 m from the feet of the firefighters. the article mentions that the grade of the hill is 37%, which corresponds to a slope of 20∘ above the horizontal. what is the speed the water when it exits the hose?

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts of wavelength as a function of speed.

From the definition we know that the wavelength is described under the equation,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Where,

c = Speed of light (vacuum)

f = frequency

Our values are,

f = 2Hz

c = 3*10^8km/s

Replacing we have,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

\lambda = \frac{3*10^8km/s}{2Hz}

\lambda = 1.5*10^8m

<em>Therefore the wavelength of this wave is 1.5*10^{8}m</em>

Do you think an observer on another planet in the solar system might see eclipses
artcher [175]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Eclipses: Eclipses are also known as game of shadows where one object comes between the star(light source) and another object in a straight line such that the shadow of one object falls on other object. This can occur when the apparent size of the star and the object is almost same.

Talking about the Earth, the geometry is such that the Moon and the Sun are of same apparent size as seen from the Earth. Thus Lunar and Solar eclipse can be seen from the Earth. If we were to go on any other planet the same phenomenon can be seen provided the apparent size of moon and the Sun from that planet is same.

We have seen and recorded many such eclipses on Jupiter. These are from the perspective of Earth. When the moons of Jupiter comes exactly between the Sun and Jupiter the shadow of moon will fall on Jupiter. The places where the shadow falls, one will see a solar eclipse.

Change the following data into scientific notation.<br><br> 5 000 000 km
RoseWind [281]
To find out scientific notation, you want to make sure that number is less than 10. So do 5.000000, you don't rally need the zeros but I just want to make my point. So use 10^x meaning ten the whatever power adds zeros like 5.000000x10^6 meaning it is increasing it by six zeros moving it out of the decimals and letting become 5,000,000.
