Answer:

a. Moon around Earth.

Explanation:

Charon orbit takes around 6.4 earth days to complete its orbit. Charon does not rises or sets, it hovers over same spot around the Pluto. The same side of Charon faces the Pluto, this is called Tidal Locking.

The moon orbit takes around 27 days to complete its orbit. The moon has different sides that are faced with sun which creates light or dark face of moon on the earth. Moon has 384,400 km distance from the earth.

A typical ultrasound transducer used for medical diagnosis produces a beam of ultrasound with a frequency of 1.0 MHz. The beam t
serg [7]

frequency of the ultrasound given as

f = 1.0 MHz

speed of the wave is

v = 1540 m/s

Now the wavelength is given as

wavelength = \frac{speed}{frequency}

\lambda = \frac{1540}{1\times 10^6}

\lambda = 1.5 mm

now we know that distance between two consecutive antinodes is always half of wavelength

so we have

d = 0.75 mm

When a switch is closed to complete a DC series RL circuit which has a large time constant, Group of answer choices the electric
puteri [66]

Answer:

The electric and magnetic fields gradually increase.

Explanation:

Time constant in RL circuits, denoted by τ, is equal to the value of L / R which is the value of the inductor over the resistor. It is used to calculate the point when the current will reach the maximum value in the steady state of the circuit. Because of this behavior of the circuit, the magnetic field and the electric field gradually increase to their maximum values.

I hope this answer helps.

1: A car traveling at 10 m acceleration uniformly at 2 m. Calculate its velocity after5 s.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

v = u + at

v: final velocity

u: initial velocity

a: acceleration

t: time

v = 10 + 2(5)

v = 10 + 10

v = 20 m/s
