The radius of the Earth is about 3,960 miles.
That's how far the center of the Earth is straight down under your feet.
It's farther than the distance all the way across the USA, from New York
to Los Angeles. It's like the distance from London (England) to Chicago.
If you drill absolutely straight and aim straight down, that's how far
you need to drill to reach the center. Unfortunately, your drill will melt
long before you get there.
The longest hole ever drilled into the Earth (so far) is the Sakhalin-I Oduptu Well,
drilled by Russia into the sea-bottom in 2011.
That hole is 40,502 feet ... roughly 7.67 miles, or about 0.0019 of the distance
to the center of the Earth. You can see that we still have quite a long way to go !
When the sound wave returns to the machine, you can measure
how long it took to return.
(You may notice that it's working just like RADAR, which does the
same thing with radio waves instead of sound waves.)
Even if you know how long the sound took to get to the bottom and
return to the top, you can't DO anything with this information if you
don't know the SPEED of the sound through the water. Not only
the inventory of this machine, but anyone who uses it, has to know
the speed of the sound through water in order to use the round-trip
time to calculate the depth.
Answer: A physical change can be a change in size, shape, or color.
Explanation:
One type of physical change is a phase change. Consider water for example, if liquid water evaporated into a vapor, a phase change occurred. A phase change is a type of physical change. The difference between a physical change and chemical change is that a physical change doesn't change the substance identity. A chemical change can however change the identity of the substance.
We know, Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. As velocity is equal, momentum of Truck will be greater as mass of Truck is greater than the scooter. As momentum is greater from truck side, it will transfer the same amount to the scooter, so it flies away
Hope this helps!
Answer: A. a basketball being shot toward the basket
Explanation: The definition of projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity. So, the basketball is the object being thrown and the person throwing the ball is aiming it to go into the basket making that the path of trajectory. Hope that makes sense and helps!
