Achilles and the tortoise are having a race. The tortoise can run 1 mile (or whatever the Hellenic equivalent of this would be)
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds

Explanation:

The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours

Explain why you can only change one variable in an experiment
ohaa [14]
The purpose of an experiment is to LEARN the EFFECT of something.

The way you do that is to CHANGE the thing and see what happens.

You can change as many things as you want to.  But If you change
TWO things and observe the result, then you don't know which one
of them caused the effect you see. 

Or maybe BOTH of them working together caused it.  You don't know. 

So your experiment is not really much good.  You need to do it again.

Our Sun shines bright with a luminosity of 3.828 x 1025 Watt. Her energies
kifflom [539]

Answer:

a)   E = 1.58 10²¹ J , b) Oil = 4,236 107 liter ,  e)   T = 54.3 C

Explanation:

a) To calculate the energy that reaches Earth, let us combine that the power emitted by the Sun is distributed uniformly on a spherical surface

     I = P / A

     A = 4π r²

in this case the radius of the sphere is the distance from the Sun to Earth r = 1.5 10¹¹ m

     I = P / A

     I = P / 4π r²

let's calculate

     I = 3,828 10²⁵/4 pi (1.5 10¹¹)²

     I = 1.3539 10²W / m² = 135.4 W / m2

the energy that reaches the disk of the Earth is

    E = I A

the area of ​​a disc

    A = π r²

    E = I π r²

where r is the radius of the Earth 6.37 10⁶ m

     E = 135.4 π(6.37 10⁶)

     E = 1,726 10¹⁶ W

This is the energy per unit of time that reaches Earth

    t = 1 dai (24h / 1day) (3600s / 1h) = 86400 s

     

    E = 1,826 10¹⁶ 86400

     E = 1.58 10²¹ J

b) for this part we can use a direct proportions rule

      Oil = 1.58 10²¹ (1 / 37.3 10⁶)

      Oil = 4,236 10⁷ liter

c) to silence the surface temperature of the Earth we use the Stefan-Bolztman Law

       P = σ A e T⁴

       T = \sqrt[4]{P/Ae}

nos indicate the refect, therefore the amount of absorbencies

       P_absorbed = 0.7 P

let's calculate

       T = REA (0.7 1.58 1021 / [pi (6.37 106) 2 1)

       T = RER (8,676 106)

       T = 54.3 C

b) Among the other factors that must be taken into account is the greenhouse effect, due to the absorption of gases from the atmosphere

Which of the following is NOT a property of long-period comets that suggests that they originate from the Oort cloud?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

b. They orbit around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the ecliptic plane.

Explanation:

All the objects of the solar system revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. The comet coming from the Oort's cloud will also follow the same kind of orbit. That is why it can't be a property to distinguish an Oort's cloud comet.

All other properties are correct to identify an Oort's cloud comet as the Oort's cloud is a considered a spherical cloud just outside the Solar system.
