Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?

Andreyy89

Answer:

<em>Billow clouds provide a visible signal to aviation interests of potentially dangerous turbulent sky since they indicate instability in air currents.</em>

Explanation:

Billow clouds are created in regions that are not stable in a meteorological sense. They are frequently present in places with air flows, and have marked vertical shear and weak thermal separation and inversion (colder air stays on top of warmer air). Billow clouds are formed when two air currents of varying speeds meet in the atmosphere. They create a stunning sight that looks like rolling ocean waves. Billow clouds have a very short life span of minutes but they provide a visible signal to aviation interests of potentially dangerous turbulent sky since they indicate instability in air currents, which although may not affect us on the ground but is a concern to aircraft pilots. The turbulence due to the Billow wave is the only logical explanation for the loss of 500 m in altitude of the plane.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

m=17.79Kg

Explanation:

In this process energy must be conserved. On the initial stage, there will be only gravitational potential energy, while on the final stage there will be only elastic potential energy, so they will be equal. We write this as:

U_g=U_e

Which is the same as:

mgh=\frac{k \Delta x^2}{2}

So we can obtain our mass from there, and for our values:

m=\frac{k \Delta x^2}{2gh}=\frac{(65144 N/m)(0.1333m)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)(3.32m)}=17.79Kg

How do you find total displacement
Monica [59]

That's actually a lot easier than finding total <u><em>distance.</em></u>

To find displacement, you only have to know where the trip started from, and where it ended.   It doesn't matter what route was followed to actually travel from the start to the finish.  The displacement is the straight-line distance and direction between those two points.
