The approximation for the diameter of the moon accurate to the nearest hundred miles is s =  +- 2100 miles

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Arc Measure definition is,  in a circle, arc degree measure is equal to the measure of the central angle that intercepts the arc. Whereas the arc Length definition is, In a circle, the length of an arc is a portion of the circumference. Where the letter "s" is used to represent arc length.      

s = r * \theta (Radian Measure and Arc of a Circle).

There is a formula which relates the arc length of a circle of radius, r, to the central angle, θ in radians.

The radian measure θ of a central angle is defined as the ratio of the length of the arc  the angle subtends s, divided by the radius of the circle r.

where s = the arc length

\theta = angle  in radians

0.5 degrees *  \frac{\pi}{180}  = 0.008726646 radians \\ r = 240000 miles  \\ s  = 240000 * 0.008726646 \\

s = 2094.4 miles or

s =  +- 2100 miles

So the approximation for the diameter of the moon accurate to the nearest hundred miles is s =  +- 2100 miles

The subtended angle and by an arc is given by:
S = r∅
Although the arc is circular, the huge amount of distance means that it is almost equivalent to the director.
D = 240,000 x (0.5 x π)/180
D = 2094 miles

An architect is redesigning a rectangular room on the blueprints of a house. She decides to double the width of the room, increa
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:3.6

Explanation:

Given

Architect decide to double the width

length increases by 50 percent

height increases by 20 percent

Let L,B,H be length,height and width of rectangular room

L'=1.5L

B'=2B

H'=1.2H

therefore new volume V'=L'\times B'\times H'

V'=1.5L\times 2B\times 1.2H

V'=3.6LBH

new volume is 3.6 times the original

A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the
Liono4ka [1.6K]
The energy of the ski lift at the base is kinetic energy:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the ski lift+the people carried, and v=15.5 m/s is velocity at the base.
As long as the ski lift goes upward, its velocity decreases and its kinetic energy converts into potential energy. Eventually, when it reaches the top, its final velocity is v=0, so no kinetic energy is left and it has all converted into gravitational potential energy, which is 
U=mgh
where g=9.81 m/s^2 and h is the height at the top of the hill.

So, since the total energy must conserve, we have
U=K
and so
mgh =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
from which we find the height:
h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(15.5m/s)^2}{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=12 m

Answer:1 trip around the earth is an angular displacement of 2*pi

3.6525*10^2 days

I

Explanation:24 h/1 day * 3.600*10^3 s/1h = 3.156*10^7 s

Angular speed = angular displacement / time

Angular speed = 2*pi rads / 3.156*10^7 s = 1.9910*10^-7 rad/s
