Both the moon and the sun influence the tides on Earth. The moon has a much greater influence though. Why is that

1 answer:

3 0

Because even though the moon is smaller, therefore a weaker gravitational pull, the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun, thus having a greater gravitational pull

Same speed, because mass is neglected. The things that affect the speed are the distance and speed of the rock.

Yo sup??

Average velocity=total distance covered/total time taken

total distance covered=4 + 8=12 miles

total time taken=6 hours

Therefore

average velocity=12/6

=2 miles/hour

Hope this helps

A car is 200 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 40.0 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she m

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car will be $a=9600m/sec^$

Explanation:

We have given that distance from stop sign s = 200 m

Time t = 0.2 sec

We have to find the constant acceleration

Now from second equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$200=40\times 0.2+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.2^2$

$a=9600m/sec^$

So the acceleration of the car will be $a=9600m/sec^$

Electricity costs 6 cents per kilowatt hour. In one month one home uses one megawatt hour of electricity. How much will the elec

Luda [366]

Answer:

Cost of 1000 kilowatt hour = 6000 cents

Explanation:

Given that

Electricity cost is 6 cents per kilowatt hour.

And we have to found out the cost for one megawatt hour

We know that

1 kilowatt = 1000 watt

1 megawatt = = 1000000 watt

1 megawatt = 1000 kilowatt

1 megawatt hour = 1000 kilowatt hour

Given that cost of 1 kilowatt hour = 6 cents

So the cost of 1000 kilowatt hour = 6 x 1000 cents

Cost of 1000 kilowatt hour = 6000 cents

1. A Zambeef delivery track travels 18 km north, 10 km east, and 16 km south. What is its final displacement from the origin?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

2km

Explanation:

Given data

We are told that the direction traveled are

North>>>East>>>South

Hence the displacement is defined as the distance away from the initial position is

Initial position =18km

FInal position = 16km

The displacement = 18-16= 2km

Hence the displacement is 2km
