In physics, what is the positive and negative sign used for when applied to velocity and acceleration?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Opposite direction

Explanation:

For example: The first object travels in the direction pointing to east, while the other one travels pointing to the west.

The first object will have a positive value while the second one will have a negative, cause it's going to the opposite direction

What is the highest degrees above the horizon the moon ever gets during the year in the Yakima Valley ?
Ivahew [28]

The trickiest part of this problem was making sure where the Yakima Valley is.
OK so it's generally around the city of the same name in Washington State.

Just for a place to work with, I picked the Yakima Valley Junior College, at the
corner of W Nob Hill Blvd and S16th Ave in Yakima.  The latitude in the middle
of that intersection is 46.585° North.  <u>That's</u> the number we need.

Here's how I would do it:

-- The altitude of the due-south point on the celestial equator is always
(90° - latitude), no matter what the date or time of day.

-- The highest above the celestial equator that the ecliptic ever gets
is about 23.5°. 

-- The mean inclination of the moon's orbit to the ecliptic is 5.14°, so
that's the highest above the ecliptic that the moon can ever appear
in the sky.

This sets the limit of the highest in the sky that the moon can ever appear.

90° - 46.585° + 23.5° + 5.14° = 72.1° above the horizon .

That doesn't happen regularly.  It would depend on everything coming
together at the same time ... the moon happens to be at the point in its
orbit that's 5.14° above ==> (the point on the ecliptic that's 23.5° above
the celestial equator).

Depending on the time of year, that can be any time of the day or night.

The most striking combination is at midnight, within a day or two of the
Winter solstice, when the moon happens to be full.

In general, the Full Moon closest to the Winter solstice is going to be
the moon highest in the sky.  Then it's going to be somewhere near
67° above the horizon at midnight.

compare 51.5 hectograms to 51500 decigrams. How do each of these values compare to a gram, and which represents a larger mass?
Olin [163]
These values when compared seem to be the same. They are equal. If we convert them to the same units, they results to the value which is:
 
51.5 Hectograms = 5100 Grams

51,500 Decigrams = 5100 Grams


Hope this answers the question. Have  a nice day.

1 A standard transformer has a rating of 60 kVA. The primary and secondary voltages are rated respectively at 600 V and 120 V. (
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The rated current for the 600V side is I = 100 A and the rated current for the 120 V side is 500 A.

Explanation:

For standard transformers they step up or down the level of voltage while maintaning the power output (ideally). So the same power output should be seen on both sides, since the equation for apparent power is P = V*I we can solve for I on both sides and find the rated current. So we have:

600 V side:

P = V*I

I = P/V = (60*10^3)/600 = 100 A

120 V side:

P = V*I = (60*10^3)/120 = 500 A
