<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>

A ride-sharing car moving along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time taken to accelerate to 28 m /s

= 28 / 2 = 14 s

a ) Total length of time in motion

= 14 + 41 + 5

= 60 s .

b )

Distance covered while accelerating

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 0 + .5 x 2 x 14²

= 196 m .

Distance covered while moving in uniform motion

= 28 x 41

= 1148 m

distance covered while decelerating

v = u - at

0 = 28 - a x 5

a = 5.6 m / s²

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = 28² - 2 x 5.6 x s

s = 28² / 2 x 5.6

= 70 m .

Total distance covered

= 196 + 1148 + 70

= 1414 m

total time taken = 60 s

average velocity

= 1414 / 60

= 23.56 m /s .

Write a simple rule that will tell a person how many water molecule will be lost while putting monosaccharides together to form
belka [17]
<span>For hydrolysis to monosaccharides, one molecule of a disaccharide needs only one molecule of water. C12H22O11 (sucrose) + H2O = C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose) Structurally, a disaccharide molecule may be viewed as a product formed by the condensation of two molecules of monosaccharides with the elimination of a water molecule. So, only one H2O molecule is needed for the reverse process.</span>

The light from the sun has higher frequencies from one side of the sun than from the other side. What does that tell you about t
morpeh [17]

If the light from the sun has higher frequencies from one side of the sun than from the other side, it is proof that the Sun is rotating.

Doppler effect states that, if a person is standing still and a source ( sound / light ) is moving towards him, the frequency of the wave emitted from the object will increase and if the source ( sound / light ) is away from him, the frequency of the wave emitted from the object will decrease.

So, if the light from the sun has higher frequencies from one side of the sun than from the other side, it means that the Sun is rotating. The higher frequencies points are the points that rotating towards Earth and lower frequencies points are the points that rotating away from Earth.

Therefore, if the light from the sun has higher frequencies from one side of the sun than from the other side, it is proof that the Sun is rotating.
