The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet, and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

A 45 kg wagon is being pulled with a rope that makes an angle of 38 degrees with the horizontal. The applied force is 410 N and

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

7.35m/s²

Explanation:

From the question we are not told what to find but we can as well find the acceleration of the wagon.

According to newton second law of motion

$\sum F_x = ma_x\\Fm - Ff = ma_x\\Fm - \mu R = ma_x\\Fm- \mu mg = ma_x\\$

Fm is the moving force = 410N

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction = 0.18

m is the mass = 45kg

g is the acceleration dur to gravity = 9.8m/s²

a is the acceleration of the wagon

Substitute the given data into the equation ang get ax

$Fm- \mu mg = ma_x\\410 - (0.18)(9.8)(45) = 45a_x\\410 - 79.38 = 45a_x\\330.62 = 45a_x\\a_x = 330.62/45\\a_x = 7.35m/s^2\\$

Hence the acceleration of the wagon is 7.35m/s²

Infrared radiation from young stars can pass through the heavy dust clouds surrounding them, allowing astronomers here on Earth

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$\lambda=6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

An infrared telescope is tuned to detect infrared radiation with a frequency of 4.39 THz.

We know that,

1 THz = 10¹² Hz

So,

f = 4.39 × 10¹² Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the infrared radiation.

We know that,

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4.39\times 10^{12}}\\\\=6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m$

So, the wavelength of the infrared radiation is $6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m$ .

Buttery popcorn contained in a large 1__bowl has a mass of about 50 __<br>and about 650 calories.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Buttery popcorn contained in a large 1 liter bowl has a mass of about 50 mg and about 650 calories.

Explanation:

Liter is the most appropriate unit to measure a bowl. Usually 1 liter of liquid has a mass of 1000 gram. Since popcorn is something lightweight and only a few can fill the bowl quickly so 50 mg makes perfect sense with 1 liter of bowl and 650 calories in buttery popcorn.
