Answer:The sun, earth, and moon are held together by gravity, and they interact in lots of ways.

The tides are another interaction in the sun-earth-moon system. The tides happen because the moon and sun pull on the oceans, causing them to rise and fall each day. The moon has a bigger effect than the sun because it is closer.

What are hot clouds of gaseous elements and compounds that act as nurseries for stars

Aleks04 [339]

Interstellar gas clouds are common in many galaxy, like the Orion nebulae which many young stars are being born. A typical nebula is many light years in diameter and contains enough material mass to make several thousand stars the size of our sun. The majority of the gas in nebulae consist of molecules of hydrogen and helium-but most nebulae also contain atoms of other elements. All known element in our periodic table is also being made inside this crucible of this immense hot gas. The source of the organic molecules is still a mystery. Irregularities in the density of the gas causes a net gravitational force that pull the gas molecules close together.

If the mass of a material is 48 grams and the volume of the material is 8 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?

iris [78.8K]

Density’s is mass by volume
So mass is 48 grams
Volume is 8cm^3
There is no need to convert units as they are same
So 48/8 gives you 6
So your answe should be 6g/cm^3 or 6gcm^-3

The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a wind blowing at 45 km/h toward the south. If the speed of the aircraft in t

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

164.2°

Explanation:

speed of wind (w) = 45 km/h due south

speed of aircraft (a) = 165 km/h

in what direction (in degrees) should the aircraft head in so as to fly due west?

To get the direction the pilot should fly, we can form a triangle with the data available where

the direction of the wind (due south) serves as the opposite side
the direction the pilot would have to fly so he can end up at he west serves as the hypothenuse
θ is the angle between the direction the pilot would have to fly and the direction the pilot wishes to fly.
the direction the pilot wishes to fly ( west) will serve as the adjacent side
all this can be seen from the attached diagram.

now sin θ = $\frac{speed of the wind}{speed of the aircraft}$

sin θ = $\frac{45}{165}$

θ = $sin^{-1}$ 0.2728

θ = 15.8°

since we are to use the counter-clockwise from east convention our measurement would have to be taken anticlockwise from the east direction, therefore the direction of the aircraft (Ф) = 180-15.8 = 164.2°
