Light pollution is influence of the light on earth (for example, street lighting) which interrupt observations. For example, if you are in a street during the night and street lights are turned on you won't see stars, but if lighting is turned off or if you go out of town you will see stars above.

A 1,400 kg car accelerates from rest to 30 m/s in 6.0 seconds. what is the net force on the car?

Allushta [10]

So your finding acceleration first which is 30m/s divides by 6 seconds equals 5m/s^s and then multiply that by 1,400 kg and you have net force which is 7,000N

A large, cylindrical water tank with diameter 3.60 m is on a platform 2.00 m above the ground. The vertical tank is open to the

zysi [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the geometry of a cylindrical tank and its respective definition.

The volume of a tank is given by

$V = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h$

Where

d = Diameter

h = Height

Considering that there are two stages, let's define the initial and final volume as,

$V_0 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H$

$V_f = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h$

We know as well by definition that

$1gal = 3.785*10^{-3}m^3$

Then we have for the statement that

$V_f = V_0 -1gal$

$V_f = V_0 - 3.785*10^{-3}$

Replacing the previous data

$\frac{\pi d^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H- 3.785*10^{-3}$

$\frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}(2)- 3.785*10^{-3}$

Solving to get h,

$h = 1.99963m$

Therefore the change is

$\Delta h = H-h$

$\Delta h = 2- 1.99963$

$\Delta h = 3.7*10^{-4}m=0.37mm$

Therefore te change in the height of the water in the tank is 0.37mm

What is a control,constant, independent variable, and a dependent variable in a science experiment?

vagabundo [1.1K]

A control is something you don't touch/change in a exprement, a constant is the same as the control, the independent is the one the you do vhange, the dependet is the one that you observe/ use your 5 sences with.

What is the the steadiest firing position?

Paha777 [63]

The closer you are to the ground the more accurate you'll be. That's why most snipers are in the "prone" position.
