Answer:

size of popcorn seed may meet the scaled earth size of x = 0.07312 in.  

Explanation:

Given:-

- The diameter of actual sun, Ds = 1.3927 * 10^6 km

- The diameter of model sun ball, ds = 8 in

- The diameter of the actual earth, De = 12,742 km

Find:-

How large would be the earth model

Solution:-

- We can use the actual diameters of the earth and sun to develop the ratio of earth diameter to that of sun. The direct ratio can be used to model the diameter of earth for the scale model

                                          Sun                   Earth

                     Actual :     1392700 km     12,742 km

                      Scale :           8 in                    x

- Use direct relations and solve for x:

                               x = (8 in)*(12,742 km ) / ( 1392700 km )

                              x = 0.07312 in.

- From the given options apple, grapefruit and marble diameters are larger than 1 inch. So only the size of popcorn seed may meet the scaled earth size of x = 0.07312 in.

What law states force is dependent on the mass and acceleration of an object
UNO [17]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion can be stated  

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

in another form,

Force = mass * acceleration

If it takes 50.0 seconds to lift 10.0 Newtons of books to a height of 7.0
Ilya [14]
Work of the force = 10 N

Time required for the work = 50 sec

Height = 7 m

We are given with the value of work and time in the question.

Substitute the values in the formula of power and then you'll get the power required.

We know that,

w = Work

p = Power

t = Time

By the formula,

Given that,
Work (w) = 7 m = 70 Joules
Time (t) = 50 sec
Substituting their values,

p = 70/50

p = 1.4 watts

Therefore, the power required is 1.4 watts.

Hope it helps!

There is the more role of the moon than the sun to occur tides in the oceans,why?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

Waves transport
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

d)energy

Explanation:

Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance. It is the disturbance that travels in a wave, transferring energy.

The speed of sound is 346 m/s. If a sound wave travels at a frequency of 55 Hz, what would its wavelength be?​
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

6.29 meters.

Explanation:

, where v is the speed of wave and f is the frequency of wave.

We are given that ,

The speed of sound is 346 m/s.

i..e v=346 m/s

A sound wave travels at a frequency of 55 H.

i..e f=55

the wavelength would be 6.29 meters.
