Interesting question.

There are a number of factors that may attribute to the pricing of an item say quality of material, number of special features available, and certainly a common notion of brand value (e.g H&M vs GUCCI). Of course, it does not necessarily mean more face value = more expensive.

Typically, to estimate, I would check the brand and material component.

The circumference of the earth is 40,000 km. The distance from the

Finger [1]

Answer:

The distance from the North Pole to the equator is $1*10^{7}$ m.

Explanation:

Circumference of Earth = 40,000 km ......................(1)

Distance from the North Pole to the Equator is = 1/4th of the Circumference of Earth ...................... (2)

Let Distance from the North Pole to the Equator be d ,

the equation formed will be ,

d = 1/4 * Circumference of Earth ........(3)......... ( from equation 1 )

put the value of Circumference of Earth in equation (3),

d = 1/4 * 40,000 km

d = 10,000 km

converting km to m ,

d = 10,000 * $10^{3}$ m

d = 1 * $10^{7}$ m

The distance from the North Pole to the equator is $1*10^{7}$ m.

Two equal forces are applied to a door. The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door; the second force is applied at t

TEA [102]

Answer: The second force applied to the doorknob

Explanation:

The formulae for torque is simple the product of the applied force and the perpendicular distance.

The greater the perpendicular force, the greater the torque assuming a constant value of force.

Applying the force at the doorknob gives for a greater distance between the force and the turning point compared to applying the force at the midpoint of the door ( which is at a shorter distance)

In what fundamental way did the work of Galileo differ from his predecessors who had thought about the sky?

kompoz [17]

Answer: The correct answer is:

Galileo used instruments and experiments to show him what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic

Explanation:

Galileo can be considered as one of the precursors of experimentation and the scientific method. A method that doesn't rely on "common sense" and rationalization and logic, but instead is fuelled by a disposition of skepticism and rather makes claims about reality based on experimentation and empirical data shows.

Galileo differed from his predecessors because he actually used and developed instruments and method to reliable measure and observe what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic.

How many times should the power develop by the engine of a ship increases to double is velocity i the resistance of the water to

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

If the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

Explanation:

ship power is roughly proportional to the cube of the speed, so

P ∝ v³

If the speed is doubled, then the power developed becomes

P ∝ (2)³ = 8 times

Therefore, if the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

Your heart pumps 80 g of blood with each beat. The blood starts from rest and reaches a speed of 0.60 m/s in the aorta. If each

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

d. 0.3 N

Explanation:

Force: This is defined as the product of mass of a body and its acceleration.

The S.I unit of Force is Newton (N).

Mathematically Force can be represented as,

F = ma .................. Equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

also

a = (v-u)/t............... Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: v = 0.60 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( From rest), t= 0.16 s.

Substitute into equation 2

a = (0.60-0)/0.16

a = 3.75 m/s²

Also given: m = 80 g = 0.08 kg.

Substitute into equation 1,

F = 0.08(3.75)

F = 0.3 N.

Hence he average force = 0.3 N

The right option is d. 0.3 N
