<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>

Through both refraction and diffraction, the atmosphere alters the apparent speed and, to a lesser extent, the direction of the
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The Ionospheric Effect

Explanation:

One of the largest errors in GPS positioning is attributable to the atmosphere. The long, relatively unhindered travel of the GPS signal through the virtual vacuum of space changes as it passes through the earth’s atmosphere. Through both refraction and diffraction, the atmosphere alters the apparent speed and, to a lesser extent, the direction of the signal. This causes an apparent delay in the signal's transit from the satellite to the receiver.

Longitudinal sound waves cannot propagate through
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

A vacuum

Explanation:

Sound waves are examples of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves which are transmitted through the vibrations of the particles in a medium.

For example, sound waves in air consist of oscillations of the air particles, which vibrate back and forth (longitudinal wave) along the direction of propagation of the wave itself.

Given this definition of mechanical wave, we see that such a wave cannot propagate if there is no medium, because there are no particles that would oscillate. Therefore, among the choices given, the following one:

a vacuum

represent the only situation in which a sound wave cannot propagate through: in fact, there are no particles in a vacuum, so the oscillations cannot occur. In all other cases, instead, sound waves can propagate.

What's the time constant of a 10 H inductor and a 200 ohm resistor connected in series
melamori03 [73]
<h3>Option B</h3><h3>The time constant of a 10 H inductor and a 200 ohm resistor connected in series is 50 millisecond</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

10 H inductor and a 200 ohm resistor connected in series

To find: time constant

<em><u>The time constant in seconds is given as:</u></em>

Time\ constant = \frac{L}{R}

Where,

L is the inductance in henry and R is the resistance in ohms

Time\ constant = \frac{10}{200}\\\\Time\ constant = 0.05\ seconds

Convert to millisecond

1 second = 1000 millisecond

0.05 second = 0.05 x 1000 = 50 millisecond

Thus time constant is 50 millisecond

Select the statement that best describes gravity.
pav-90 [236]

Explanation:

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. It depends upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects. Mathematically, the force of gravity is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m_1\ and\ m_2 are masses

d is the distance between two masses

So, statement (2) describes gravity "Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects".
