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

What are loops of gas on sun that link different parts of sunspot regions together?
love history [14]
So we want to know what are loops of gas on the Sun that link different parts of sunspot regions together. A large and bright gaseous feature that extends from the surface of the Sun that links different parts of sunspot regions together is called Prominence. They are on the Suns surface in the photosphere and they extend outwards into the Corona.

What is the wavelength of a wave if its frequency is 256 Hz and speed of the wave is 350 m/s?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for this is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} where f is the frequency, v is the velocity, and lambda is the wavelength. Filling in:

256=\frac{350}{\lambda} and

\lambda=\frac{350}{256} which means that

the wavelength is 1.37 m, rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

The redshift of a star means that _____.
Gelneren [198K]
The correct answer is D. the star is getting farther away.

When the light has red-shifted, it shows that everything is moving away from a certain point. This is known as the Doppler effect and proves the Big Bang (which would be the center point that everything is moving away from). Just as a 'for your information', blue shift is when the star is moving towards us.

Hope I helped :)

You push on a box with 100 N of force, causing it to accelerate at 5 m/s?.
Xelga [282]
<h3><u>Given</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Force,F = 100 N

Acceleration,a = 5 m/s²

<h3><u>To</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>calculated:-</u><u> </u></h3>

Calculate the mass of the box .

<h3><u>Formula</u><u> </u><u>used:-</u><u> </u></h3>

\bf \: Force = Mass  \times  Acceleration

<h3><u>Solution:-</u><u> </u></h3>

\sf \: Force = Mass × Acceleration

★ Substituting the values in the above formula,we get:

\sf \implies \: 100 = Mass \times 5

\sf \implies \: Mass =   \cancel\dfrac{100}{5}

\sf \implies \: Mass = 20 \: kg
