Answer: Shorter

Explanation: Shadow is formed when an light source is obstructed by an opaque object. The closer the source, shorter is the length of the shadow. In fact, when the source is exactly overhead, no shadow of the object is formed.

June 21 marks the Summer solstice which means the Sun passes directly overhead Tropic of cancer (23.5° N) at noon. March 21 marks the equinox which means sun passes directly overhead equator (0°).

Shadow length of an object at 42° Northern latitude will be shorter on June 21 because the Sun will be closer to this latitude as compared to March 21.

Why is a minimum of three seismic stations needed to find the epicenter of an earthquake?
vazorg [7]

Each station can detect how far away the epicenter was. So each station basically has a circle made of possible epicenters. When you have three, you narrow it down to one, final point.

Janice has just measured the density of an object. Which value is possible? (Density: D = )
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

By definition, the density of an object is given by:

D = \frac{M}{V}

Where,

M: mass of the object

V: volume of the object

Since the mass and volume of an object are numerical values greater than zero, then it follows that:

D> 0

It is important to respect the units of each measure.

For this case we can use the grams for the mass and cubic centimeters for the volume.

Answer:

A possible value for density is given by:

6 \frac{g}{cm^3}
