The larger planets have more heat internally where as the smaller planets dont to keep thme geologically alive so to speak

Each planet has a 'planetary body' that are pretty much always hot when they are being created. As time passes, that internal heat that causes geological activity is slowly lost. Larger planet bodies are able to keep the internal heat longer than smaller planets, and that heat is needed to keep the planets geologically active.
The only way a smaller planet can retain any heat is from tidal friction coming from another planet. The constant friction from the external body keeps that small planet from going completely cold to the core due to its size. Hope this helps!! :)

What is a common cause of insomnia? (2 points)

Verizon [17]

Answer:

stress

Explanation:

Common causes of chronic insomnia include: Stress. Concerns about work, school, health, finances or family can keep your mind active at night, making it difficult to sleep. Stressful life events or trauma — such as the death or illness of a loved one, divorce, or a job loss — also may lead to insomnia.

You work for an advertising company and have been hired to place a blimp above a football stadium. The angle of elevation from a

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

a) tangent ; b) 153.88 yds ; c) No , less than or equal to 45° ; D) 45°

Explanation:

Given the following ;

From the triangle sketch :

Base length = 50 yards

Angle of elevation = 72°

a. Which trigonometric ratio would you use to calculate how high the blimp will be above the 50 yard line?

Using trigonometry :

The height of the blimp will be calculated using :

Tangent :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

B.) How high above the ground is the blimp?

Using :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Θ = 72° ; adjacent = 52, opposite = height(h)

Tan 72° = h / 50

h = 3.0776835 * 50

h = 153.88 yds

C.) In order to be able to read the advertisement on the side of the blimp the highest the blimp can be is 150 feet. Will the fans be able to read the advertisement?

1 yard = 3 Feets

153.88 yards = 3 * 153.88

= 461.65 feets

No, because the height of the blimp is 461.65 Feets which is greater than 150 Feets.

To make viewing possible, the angle of elevation should be:

50 yards is equivalent to (3 * 50) = 150 feets

Max imum Height of blimp = 150 Feets

From pythagoras ;

Tanθ = 150 Feets / 150 Feets

Tanθ = 1

θ = tan^-1(1)

θ = 45°

To make viewing advertisement possible, angle of elevation should not exceed 45°

d.)If height of blimp is 150 Feets, then the exact angle of elevation will be 45°

Boyle’s Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P of the gas is inversely pro

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

a) $V=\dfrac{5.3}{P}$

b) $ML^{-4}T^{-2}$ .

Explanation:

Given that

Boyle's law

P V = Constant ,at constant temperature

Given that

$P_1=50KPa$

$V_1=0.106m^3$

We know that for PV=C

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2=PV$

Now by putting the values

PV= 50 x 0.106

$V=\dfrac{5.3}{P}$

Where P is in KPa and V is in $m^3$

PV= C

Take ln both sides

So $\ln(PV)=\ln C$

lnP + lnV =lnC ( C is constant)

By differentiating

$\dfrac{dP}{P}+\dfrac{dV}{V}=0$

$\dfrac{dP}{dV}=-\dfrac{P}{V}$

When P= 50 KPa

$\dfrac{dP}{dV}=-\dfrac{50}{V}\ \dfrac{KPa}{m^3}$

It indicates the slope of PV=C curve.

It unit is $\dfrac{Pa}{m^3}$ .

Or we can say that $ML^{-4}T^{-2}$ .

You drop a rock off a bridge. The rock's height, h (in feet above the water), after t seconds is modeled by h = – 16 t2 + 541. W

marin [14]

<span>h ( t) = h(1 sec) = -16t^2 + 541

so h (2 sec) = -16*(2)^2 + 541 = -64 + 541 = <span>477 ft

Therefore, </span></span>the height of the rock after 2 seconds is 477 feet.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
