The famous astronomer, Kepler, determined that the planetary orbits were: 1. ellipses 2. circles 3. epicentric 4. geocentric

Which statements describe Earth? Select three options. It is an outer planet. It is a terrestrial planet. It was formed from gas

AVprozaik [17]

The formation of Earth is supported by the statements like, it is a terrestrial planet. it was formed from gas and dust. it was formed in a debris disk from colliding planetesimals.

The given problem is based on the correct statements entitling the description of Earth. Earth is amongst 8 planets in our solar system, that happen to orbit around the sun.

The statements given to describe the Earth are as follows:

Earth is not an Outer planet. It is an inner planet that lies closest to the sun after Mercury and Venus.
Earth is a terrestrial planet because it is having a compact and rocky surface. Also, it is known to be an as largest terrestrial planet in the solar system with extensive regions of liquids and water.
The abundant rocky surfaces have evolved from the cloud of dust and gas, during the post-Big Bang Era. So, it is somewhere true to say that Earth is formed from gas and dust.
The earlier atmosphere of Earth was known for having proportional layers of Hydrogen and Helium. Hence is quite true to say that the Earth is having an atmosphere of Hydrogen and helium gases, but it is not as thick as the like sun.
Majority of terrestrial planets are formed from the collision of planetesimals in a debris disk. With Earth being one of them, it is quite correct to consider the given statement.

Thus, we can conclude that the formation of Earth is supported by the statements like: it is a terrestrial planet, it was formed from gas and dust and it was formed in a debris disk from colliding planetesimals.

The driver of a car traveling at 22.8 m/s applies the brakes and undergoes a constant deceleration of 2.95 m/s 2 . How many revo

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

70 revolutions

Explanation:

We can start by the time it takes for the driver to come from 22.8m/s to full rest:

$t = \Delta v/a = (22.8 - 0)/2.95 = 7.73 s$

The tire angular velocity before stopping is:

$\omega_0 = v/r = 22.8 / 0.2 = 114 rad/s$

Also its angular decceleration:

$\alpha = a / r = 2.95/0.2 = 14.75 rad/s^2$

Using the following equation motion we can findout the angle it makes during the deceleration:

$\omega^2 - \omega_0^2 = 2\alpha\Delta \theta$

where $\omega$ = 0 m/s is the final angular velocity of the car when it stops, $\omega_0$ = 114rad/s is the initial angular velocity of the car $\alpha$ = 14.75 rad/s2 is the deceleration of the can, and $\Delta \theta$ is the angular distance traveled, which we care looking for:

$-114^2 = 2*(-14.75)*\Delta \theta$

$\Delta \theta = 440rad$ or 440/2π = 70 revelutions

A delivery truck travels 2.8 km North, 1.0 km East, and 1.6 km South. The final displacement from the origin is ___km to the ___

34kurt

Answer:

The final displacement from the origin is <u>1.6</u> km to the <u>NE</u>

Explanation:

The directions in which the delivery truck travels are;

1) 2.8 km North = 2.8· $\hat j$ , in vector form

2) 1.0 km East = 1.0· $\hat i$ , in vector form

3) 1.6 km South = -1.6· $\hat j$ , in vector form

Therefore, to find the final displacement, Δx, of the delivery truck, we add the individual displacements as follows;

Final displacement, Δd = 2.8· $\hat j$ + 1.0· $\hat i$ +(-1.6· $\hat j$ ) = 1.2· $\hat j$ + 1.0· $\hat i$

Final displacement, = 1.0· $\hat i$ + 1.2· $\hat j$

Where;

Δx = The displacement in the x-direction = 1.0· $\hat i$

Δy = The displacement in the y-direction = 1.2· $\hat j$

The magnitude of the resultant displacement vector is given as follows

$\left | d \right |$ = √((Δx)² + (Δy)²) = √(1² + 1.2²) ≈ 1.6 (To the nearest tenth)

The magnitude of the resultant displacement vector ≈ 1.6 km

The direction of the resultant vector is positive for both the east and north direction, therefore, the direction of the resultant vector = NE

Therefore, the resultant displacement of the delivery truck is approximately 1.6 km, NE from the origin.

Two small stereo speakers are driven in step by the same variable-frequency oscillator. Their sound is picked up by a microphone

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The fundamental frequency at which the sound of speakers at the microphone produce constructive interference is 801.076458 Hz

Explanation:

For a given arrangement having constructive interference, we have;

R₁ - R₂ = 2·x = 0 + n·λ

The distance from one speaker to the microphone. R₁ = 4.50 m

The distance between the two speakers = 2.00 m

The angle formed between the direction from the microphone to the speaker closest and the directional path between the speakers = 90°

Therefore, by Pythagoras's theorem, the distance from the speaker furthest from the microphone, to the microphone, 'R₂' is given as follows;

R₂ = √(4.50² + 2.00²) = √(24.25) = 4.9244289009 ≈ 4.924

∴ R₂ ≈ 4.9244289 m

R₂ - R₁ = 4.9244289 m - 4.5 m = 0.4244289 m

For constructive interference, R₂ - R₁ =0.4244289 m = n·λ

For n = 1, we have;

R₂ - R₁ =0.4244289 m = n·λ = 1 × λ = λ

λ = 0.4244589 m

f = v/λ = 340 m/sec/(0.4244289 m) ≈ 801.076458 Hz

Therefore the lowest possible fundamental frequency at which the speakers produce constructive interference, f = 801.076458 Hz

Megan was doing time trials on her bike around a 400m horizontal track. She took 32 seconds to travel 400m. What was her average

Mars2501 [29]

To find average speed, we divide the distance of travel (in this case, 400 metres) by the time she took, 32 seconds. Therefore: 12.5 seconds is her average speed.
