 A light-year is how astronomers measure distance in space.
-Light can travel 300,000 kilometres in one seconds!
Light year is the distance that light travel can travel in one year.
-Light can also travel 9,00,000,000,000 kilometers.
-One light is about 10 trillion km.
-Almost 300 years ago ,a Danish scientist named olaus roemer,was the fist man to estimate the distance light travels in a year -and using that he figure out the approximate speed of light!

A whale comes to the surface to breathe and then dives at an angle 24 degrees to the horizontal surface of the water. The whale
WARRIOR [948]

Given that,

A whale dives at an angle of 24 degrees to the horizontal surface of the water.

The whale continues in a straight line 145 m.

To find,

The horizontal and vertical components of the displacement of the whale.

Solution,

The horizontal component of displacement is :

d_x=d\cos\theta\\\\=145\times \cos(24)\\\\=132.46\ m

The vertical component of displacement is :

d_y=d\sin\theta\\\\=145\times \sin(24)\\\\=58.97\ m

<h3>Hence, the horizontal and vertical components of the displacement of the whale are 132.46 m and 58.97 m.</h3>

Please help me with this question someone
Gekata [30.6K]
From the answers provided, I believe the possible answer would be the last option, silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals. Here's my reasoning: the most abundant mineral group found in the Earth's crust is the silicate group. The silicate materials contain both oxygen and silicon. Silicates are the most common minerals in the rock-formation process, and it has, in fact, been estimated that they make up 75 to 90 percent of the Earth's crust. From this piece of evidence, I can guess that the answer will possibly be D, silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals.
It should also be noted that the additional elements that combine with the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron are involved with the other elements commonly found in the Earth's crust and mantle. They are aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and sodium.

A hollow cast-iron cylinder 4m long, 300mm outer diameter, and thickness of metal 50mm is subjected to a central load on the top
Sveta_85 [38]

Here, the calculated Magnitude of the load P is 2945.2 kN, the Longitudinal strain produced is 0.0005 and the decrease in length is 2 mm.

Given,

Length, L = 4 m

Outer diameter, D = 300mm, D= 0.3 m

Thickness, t = 50 mm, t = 0.05 m

Stress produced, σ = 75000 kN/m²

Young's modulus for cast iron, E = 1.5 x 10⁸ kN/m²

Calculating the diameter of the cylinder,

Diameter of cylinder, d = (D) – (2t) = 0.3 –( 2 × 0.05)

d= 0.2 m

(i) Magnitude of the load P:

Using the relation, σ =P/A

P = σ × A = 75000 × π /4 (D² – d² )

P= 75000 × π/4 (0.3² – 0.2²)

P= 75000 × π/4 (0.09 – 0.04)

P = 2945.2 kN

Hence, Magnitude of the load P is 2945.2 kN.

(ii) Longitudinal strain produced, e :

Using the relation, Strain, (e) = stress/E

e= 75000/(1.5 x 10⁸)= 0.0005

Hence, the Longitudinal strain produced is 0.0005.

(iii)Total decrease in length, dL:

The total decrease in length can be calculated using the strain as the ratio of change in length to the original length is known as Strain.

Strain = change in length/original length

e= dL/L

0.0005 = dL/4

dL = 0.0005 × 4m = 0.002m=2mm

Hence,the decrease in length is 2 mm.
