What are some natural measures of time

Chemistry
1 answer:
Len [333]3 years ago
7 0

most events like the rising and setting of the Sun were used a natural measurement of time until recently.

Solar time, which is based on the motion of the Sun, is not the only way of measuring time, however. One might keep track of the regular appearance of the full Moon. That event occurs once about every 29.5 solar days. The time between appearances of new moons, then, could be used to define a month.

One also can use the position of the stars for measuring time. The system is the same as that used for the Sun, since the Sun itself is a star. All other stars also rise and set on a regular basis.

Although any one of these systems is a satisfactory method for measuring some unit of time, such as a day or a month, the systems may conflict with each other. It is not possible, for example, to fit 365 solar days into 12 or 13 lunar months exactly. This problem creates the need for leap years

Help! ill give brainliest
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnesium is an alkali earth metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. Due to this, and their differences in electronegativity, the elements form an ionic bond. Since magnesium has two valence electrons, it will give them up to two chlorine atoms (which has 7 valence electrons), which needs them to complete its octet. From this, magnesium forms a cation, and will have the ion formula Mg(2+). The two chlorine atoms form anions, and will have the ion formula Cl(1-).

Terms:

  • Cation: a positively charged ion
  • Anion: a negatively charge ion.
  • Electronegativity: the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.

A team of engineers is doing a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether
beks73 [17]

Answer:

1) The risk of high cost due to increased resource requirements

2) The risk of late entry into the (a changed) market

Explanation:

The analysis being performed by the engineers = A cost benefit analysis to determine if a new technology should be developed

A cost-benefit analysis is a process of appraising or measuring the advantages, benefits of a policy, action or decision, so as to find the (equilibrium) balance point between the costs of the decision or action

The risk to be considered are;

1) The risk of high cost due to increased resource requirements

The increased cost required for the development of the new technology now which due to the unlikely existence of a similar invention in the market that will give them an advantage of increased profits

2) The risk of late entry into the (a changed) market

The changes in the consumer preferences, market landscape, and the likely introduction into the market of a similar invention by the competition in the near future which will reduce the amount of profits that can be gained from the invention

How many isomers does propane have?<br> 01<br> 02<br> 03<br> 05
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

A.) 1

Explanation:

Propane only exists in one conformation. It does not have enough carbons to form branches, and there are only hydrogens attached to each carbon. Furthermore, there is no way to twist the carbon or change its orientation (ex. cis- and trans-) to result in a different structure of propane. There is no other way to represent the molecule without drawing a different molecule.
