Answer:

Comet's orbit.

Explanation:

Edmond Halley and Alexis Clairaut were one of those Newtonian who helped to validate the results of Isaac Newton.

They correctly explained Comet' motion and how planets gravitational force affect them.

But using Newton's idea of Mathematics and Gravity, they have made two important discoveries:

1. Why celestial bodies have different colors.

2. They were able to find the Comet's orbit and prediction(year) of its return.

If the frequencies of two component waves are 24 Hz and 20 Hz, they should produce _______ beats per second.

horrorfan [7]

This can be answered using the beat frequency formula, which is simply the difference between 2 frequencies.

Let: <span>fᵇ = beat frequency
</span>f₁ = first frequency
f₂ = second frequency

fᵇ = |f₁ - f₂|

substituting the values:
fᵇ = |24Hz - 20Hz|
fᵇ = 4Hz

The unit Hz also means beats per second, therefore:
<span>fᵇ = 4 beats per second
</span>
Therefore, the answer is C. 4

The value of the surface area of the cylinder is equal to the value of the volume of the cylinder. Find the value of x.

max2010maxim [7]

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula v=pi r^2h, where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height.

<h3>What Does a Cylinder's Surface Area Look Like?</h3>

The overall area or region that the surface of a cylinder covers is referred to as its surface area. A cylinder's total surface area includes both the area of the curved surface and the area of the two flat surfaces because there are two flat surfaces and one curved surface. A cylinder's surface area is measured in square units like m2, in2, cm2, yd2, etc.

<h3>What is the cylinder's total surface area?</h3>

The sum of the curved surface areas makes up the cylinder's overall surface area.

Two hockey players have a total momentum of +200 kg x m/s before a collision (+ is to the right). After the collision, they move

Juliette [100K]

Total momentum after the collision: +200 kg m/s to the right

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the law of conservation of momentum, which states that for an isolated system (=no external forces acting on the system), the total momentum is conserved.

Mathematically,

$p_i=p_f$
