Wending your way through this question and the list of choices
is like running through a corn-maze on a moonless night with
your eyes closed.

Work = (force) x (distance)

Keeping with the units used In the question ...

       Work = (90 pounds) x (4 feet)  =  360 foot-pounds .

If you want the work expressed in joules, then you need to convert
pounds and feet to newtons and meters.

           (90 pounds) x (4.448 newtons/pound) =  400.32 Newtons

               (4 feet) x (1 meter / 3.28084 feet)  =  1.219 meters

Work = (force) x (distance)

          = (400.32 newtons) x (1.219 meters) = 488.1 joules .

Find the acceleration of a hamster when it increases its velocity from rest to 8.0 m/s in 3.0 s .
Eva8 [605]
<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time.
We can find acceleration a, by the following formula

a=v-u/t

where,
v is the final velocity (in this question v=8.0 m/s)
u is the initial velocity (since the hamster starts from rest, u=0)
t is the time taken (i,e 3.0 second)
now by applying the formula we have,

a = 8.0 - 0 / 3
= 8 / 3
= 2.65 m/s</span>²<span> 

The acceleration is 2.65 meters per second squared</span>

bija089 [108]
Hello,

The answer is option C "<span>thermosphere".</span><span>

Reason:

The troposphere is the layer of the air that the harmful heat rays (from the sun is mostly absorbed). The thermosphere is directly above the exosphere which is the sphere with the thin layer of the sphere therefore the answer should be option C.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

While filming an intense action sequence for the next James Bond movie, a controlled explosion detonates 1.1 km away from the ac
kolezko [41]

Answer:

The time that will pass between the feeling and hearing the explosion is 2,86 secs

Explanation:

First, let's calculate the time that the wave takes to travel until the actors feel the explosion:

1,1 km*\frac{1.000 mts}{1 km} *\frac{sec}{3.000 mts} = 0,37 secs

Now, the time that pass while the actors hear the sound is:

<em>(Remember that the sound speed in the air is 340 m/s on average)</em>

1,1 km * \frac{1.000 mts}{1 km} * \frac{sec}{340 mts} = 3,23 secs

So, the time between the feeling and hearing is 3,23 - 0,37 = 2,86 secs

Geologists know the past temperature of the planet based on rock and fossil evidence. Why do you think it is difficult to determ
Archy [21]

Answer: Greenhouse gases affect how much of the Sun's energy the Earth loses back to space. Predicting global temperature change is hard, even though the principle sounds easy. In simple terms, energy reaches Earth from the Sun.
