$From\ cosine\ theorem:\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(\angle between\ a\ and\ b)\\\\
a=2,78\\b=6,25\\
\angle between\ a\ and\ b=90+50=140^{\circ}\\\\
c^2=2,78^2+6,25^2-2*2,78*6,25cos(140^{\circ})\\\\
c^2=7,7284+39,0625-34,75*(-0,77)\\\\c^2=46,7909+26,7575\\\\c^2=735484\\\\c=8,58cm\\\\Total\ displacement\ is\ equal\ to\ 8,58cm.$

Kruka [31]

Answer:

A. Add mass to the Sun.

Explanation:

A. Add mass to the Sun.

Adding mass will make to take more time for the hydrogen to run out and hence, enough temperature will be developed to fuse helium atom into other heavier elements, and eventually get hot enough to fuse the helium in their cores into carbon.

The only hypothetical solution is that we need to add Mass to the Sun.

An automobile moves at a constant speed over the crest of a hill traveling at a speed of 88.5 km/h. At the top of the hill, a pa

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

$r=61.65m$

Explanation:

Since the package remains in contact with the car's seat, the package's speed is equal to the car's speed. At the top on the mountain the package's centripetal force must be equal to its weight:

$mg=F_c$

The centripetal force is defined as:

$F_c=ma_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Here v is the linear speed of the object and r is the radius of curvature. We need to convert the linear speed to $\frac{m}{s}$ :

$88.5\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=24.58\frac{m}{s}$

Now, we calculate r:

$mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\r=\frac{v^2}{g}\\r=\frac{(24.58\frac{m}{s})^2}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\\r=61.65m$
