I think the answer is Cirrus. They are flat feathery clouds that usually stretch long distances over the sky.

Answer:

a) 3.0×10⁸ m

b) 0 m

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance from the starting position to the final position.

a) In half a year, the Earth travels from one point on the circle to the point on the exact opposite side of the circle (from 0° to 180°). The distance between the points is the diameter of the circle.

x = 2r

x = 2 (1.5×10⁸ m)

x = 3.0×10⁸ m

b) In a full year, the Earth travels one full revolution, so it ends up back where it started. The displacement is therefore 0 m.

How does 'g' vary from place to place?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Explanation:

The acceleration g varies by about 1/2 of 1 percent with position on Earth's surface, from about 9.78 metres per second per second at the Equator to approximately 9.83 metres per second per second at the poles.

A 100-kg astronaut is floating in outer space. If the astronaut throws a 2-kilogram wrench at a speed of 10 meters per second, w

sergey [27]

Since Astronaut and wrench system is isolated in the space and there is no external force on it

So here momentum of the system will remain conserved

so here we can say

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

initially both are at rest

so here plug in all values

$0 = 100 v_{1f} + 2\times 10$

$v_{1f} = -0.20 m/s$

so here the astronaut will move in opposite direction and its speed will be equal to 0.20 m/s

Select the sentences about the physical nature of light that are true. Check all that apply. Check all that apply. Blue light ha

Phoenix [80]

Correct options:

- Blue light has a wavelength of 750 nm, the longest wavelength of visible light, and red has a wavelength of 500 nm. --> FALSE. It's actually the opposite: blue light has a wavelength of approx. 500 nm, while red has a wavelength of 750 nm, the longest wavelength of visible light.

- Light is electromagnetic radiation, a type of energy embodied in oscillating electric and magnetic fields. --> TRUE. Electromagntic radiation is a type of transverse waves, consisting of electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicularly to each other.

- The units of frequency are distance per second. --> FALSE. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), which corresponds to 1/seconds ( $s^{-1}$ .

- The more closely spaced the waves, that is, the longer the wavelength, the more energy there is. --> FALSE. The energy of an electromagnetic wave is inversely proportional to the wavelength:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

that means, the longer the wavelength, the less energy there is.

- Grass appears green because it reflects primarily the wavelength associated with green light and absorbs the others. --> TRUE. The color of the objects as we see them corresponds to the color they reflect, while all the other colors are absorbed by the object.

- Light in a vacuum travels at 3.00×108mph. --> FALSE. The units are wrong: the speed of light in a vacuum is $3.00\cdot 10^8 m/s$ .

- Electromagnetic radiation can be characterized by wavelength, amplitude, and frequency. --> TRUE. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests, amplitude is the maximum displacement of the wave relative to the equilibrium position, frequency is the number of oscillations per second.

- The presence of a variety of wavelengths in white light is responsible for the way we perceive colors in objects. --> TRUE. White light consists of many different colors, and depending on which of them are absorbed/reflected by the objects, we perceive them in different ways.

How does a bimetallic strip work in a sinple alarm system

tatiyna

The bimetallic strip in a fire alarm is made of two metals with different expansion rates bonded together to form one piece of metal. Typically, the low-expansion side is made of a nickel-iron alloy called Invar, while the high-expansion side is an alloy of copper or nickel. The strip is electrically energized with a low-voltage current. When the strip is heated by fire, the high-expansion side bends the strip toward an electrical contact. When the strip touches that contact, it completes a circuit that triggers the alarm to sound. The width of the gap between the contacts determines the temperature that will set off the alarm.
