Tidal friction is slowing the rotation of the Earth. As a result, the orbit of the Moon is increasing in radius at a rate of app

roximately 4.0 cm/yr. Assuming this to be a constant rate, how many years will pass before the radius of the Moon's orbit increases by 3.84x 10^7 m (10%)?

Answer:

967500000 years

Explanation:

The Speed at which the radius of the orbit of the Moon is increasing is 4 cm/yr

Converting to m

1 m = 100 cm

1\ cm=\frac{1}{100}\ m

4\ cm\y=\frac{4}{100}=0.04\ m/yr

The distance by which the radius increases is 3.84×10⁷ m

Time = Distance / Speed

\text{Time}=\frac{3.87\times 10^7}{0.04}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=967500000\ yr

967500000 years will pass before the radius of the orbit increases by 10%.

A car is going 8 meters per second on an access road into a highway
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

20.96 m/s^2 (or 21)

Explanation:

Using the formula (final velocity - initial velocity)/time = acceleration, we can plug in values and manipulate the problem to give us the answer.

At first, we know a car is going 8 m/s, that is its initial velocity.

Then, we know the acceleration, which is 1.8 m/s/s

We also know the time, 7.2 second.

Plugging all of these values in shows us that we need to solve for final velocity. We can do so by manipulating the formula.

(final velocity - initial velocity) = time * acceleration

final velocity = time*acceleration + initial velocity

After plugging the found values in, we get 20.96 m/s/s, or 21 m/s

Suppose that the model presented by student 1 is correct. Based on the information provided, what would be the bond angle in a m
Ugo [173]

Question: Predicting the shape of a molecule is relatively straight forward. A molecule's shape will always be determined by the number of electron pairs around the central atom. The number of electron pair corresponds to the number of atoms that are bound to the central atom of the molecule. For example, water contains two hydrogen atom bound to one atom of oxygen, giving the molecule a linear geometry.

Suppose that the model presented by student 1 is correct. Based on the information provided, what would be the bond angle in a molecule of perchlorate ion.

Answer: Suppose that the model presented by student 1 is correct The (perchlorate ion) will be a tetrahedral shape, O-Cl-O bond angle 109.5 due to four groups of bonding electrons and no lone pairs of electrons.

Which of the following is most closely related to an activated complex?
Anon25 [30]

Among the choices above, the one that is most closely related to an activated complex is the transition state. The answer is letter D. This formation forms quickly and does not stay in a way compound is. It usually forms during the enzyme – substrate reaction.
