3 0

Answer:

Advantage:  

Apparent solar time gives the exact location of sun in the sky according to your precise location.

Disadvantage:  

As the apparent solar time changes with the change in longitude. It is very difficult to track these changes in longitude. Hence, it is almost impossible to make plan for events.

Improvement in situation:

Situation can be improved using mean solar time because due to this people living in the longitude band agree upon a standard time. In this way, it is easy to plan for events.

A table tennis ball with a mass of 0.003 kg and a soccer ball with a mass of 0.43 kg or both Serta name motion at 16 M/S calcula
poizon [28]
Let us first know the given: Tennis ball has a mass of 0.003 kg, Soccer ball has a mass of 0.43 kg. Having the same velocity at 16 m/s. First the equation for momentum is P=MV P=Momentum M=Mass V=Velocity. Now let us have the solution for the momentum of tennis ball. Pt=0.003 x 16 m/s= (    kg-m/s ) I use the subscript "t" for tennis.  Momentum of Soccer ball Ps= 0.43 x 13m/s = (      km-m/s). If we going to compare the momentum of both balls, the heavier object will surely have a greater momentum because it has a larger mass, unless otherwise  the tennis ball with a lesser mass will have a greater velocity to be equal or greater than the momentum of a soccer ball.

an automobile engineer found that the impact of a truck colliding at 16 km/h with a concrete pillar caused the bumper to indent
Zolol [24]
<span>To find the acceleration we are given two facts to begin. The impact at 16 km/h and the dent of 6.4 cm, or 0.064 meters. In solving the problem uniform acceleration is assumed, which would mean the avg speed during the impact was 8 km/hr by taking 16/2. We know distance = rate*time (d=r*t) . So t = d / r, so 0.64/8 = 0.008hr for t. Now we can solve for acceleration by taking a = 16 / 0.008 = 2000 km/hr.</span>

a DJ uses a 110-volt outlet to plug in a strobe light. if the current flowing through the light is 0.050 amps, how much resistan
tigry1 [53]

Ohms Law: V = IR

V is the voltage in volts

I is the current in amps

R is the resistance in Ohms

Rearrange: R = V/I

R = (110)/(0.050)

R = 2200

There are 2200 Ohms of resistance in the circuit.

The chemical equation provided shows iron rusting to form iron oxide. Use the drop-down menu to choose the coefficients that wil
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

4 Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2 Fe_2 O_3

Explanation:

The original equation is:

Fe + O_2 \rightarrow Fe_2 O_3

We notice that:

- we have 1 atom of Fe on the left, and 2 atoms of Fe on the right

- we have 2 atoms of O on the left, and 3 atoms of O on the right

Therefore, the equation is not balanced.

In order to balance it, we can add:

- a coefficient 3 in front of O_2

- a coefficient 2 in front of Fe_2 O_3

So we have:

Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Now the oxygen is balanced, but the iron it not balanced yet, since we have 1 Fe on the left and 4 on the right. Therefore, we should add a coefficient 4 on the Fe on the left:

4 Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2 Fe_2 O_3
