There's always 50% (half) of the moon lit by the sun. The thing that changes is how much of the lit part we can see.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

 D = 9.9 10⁶ mi

Explanation:

In the exercise they give the expression for maximum viewing distance

       D = 2 r h + h²

Ask for this distance for a height of 1100 feet

Let's calculate

        D = 2 3960 1100 + 1100²

        D = 8.712 10⁶ + 1.21 10⁶

        D = 9.92 10⁶ mi

         D = 9.9 10⁶ mi

Match each item with the clean water regulation it describes. (2 points)
Leona [35]

The correct match of each item to the clean water regulation it describes is as follows:

  • Regulates pollutants discharged into surface waters: Clean water act
  • Covers both surface and ground waters: Safe drinking water act
  • Authorizes the EPA to establish minimum standards for tap water: Safe drinking water act
  • Funds sewage treatment plants: Clean water act

<h3>What are the functions of clean water regulation?</h3>

Clean Water Act (CWA) is a regulatory body that establishes the basic structure for the regulation of pollutants discharge and maintenance of quality standards of the surface waters.

On the other hand, the Safe Drinking Water Act was founded to oversee the protection of the quality drinking water. The regulatory body is primarily concerned with potable water all waters, whether from above ground or underground sources.

Therefore, the correct match of each item to the clean water regulation it describes is as follows:

  • Regulates pollutants discharged into surface waters: Clean water act
  • Covers both surface and ground waters: Safe drinking water act
  • Authorizes the EPA to establish minimum standards for tap water: Safe drinking water act
  • Funds sewage treatment plants: Clean water act

A wooden artifact from a Chinese temple has a 14C activity of 41.0 counts per minute as compared with an activity of 58.2 counts
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows

dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms

For the beginning period

dN₀ / dt = λ N₀

58.2 = λ N₀

similarly

41 = λ N

dividing

58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N

N = N₀ x .70446

formula of radioactive decay

N=N_0e^{-\lambda t }

.70446 =e^{-\lambda t }

- λ t = ln .70446 =   - .35

t = .35 / λ

λ = .693 / half life

= .693 / 5715

= .00012126

t = .35 / .00012126

= 2886.36

= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

the magnitude of Vpg = 493.711 km/h

Explanation:

given data

speed Vpg = 560 km/h

speed Vwg = 80 km/h

solution

we get here magnitude of the plane velocity w.r.t. ground is

we know that the Vpg = Vpw + Vwg       .....................1

writing the component of the velocity that is

Vpw = (0 km/h î - 560 km/h j )

Vwg = (80 cos 45 km/h î + 80 sin 45 km/h j)

adding these

Vpg = (0+80 cos 45 km/h ) î  + ( -560 + 80 sin 45 km/h j)i

Vpg = (42.025 )  î  (-491.92 km/h)j

now we take magnitude

the magnitude of Vpg = \sqrt{(42.025^2+(-491.92)^2)} km/h

the magnitude of Vpg = 493.711 km/h
