Answer:

The Milky Way is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 km (about 100,000 light years or about 30 kpc) across. The Sun does not lie near the center of our Galaxy. It lies about 8 kpc from the center on what is known as the Orion Arm of the Milky Way.

At a country music festival, a band is playing at the end of a crowded
Dominik [7]

Answer:

2270 full wavelengths.

Explanation:

The wavelength \lambda of the sound wave (assuming sound speed of  v= 343m/s) is

\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f} = \dfrac{343m/s}{400hz}

\lambda = 0.8575m.

Now, assuming the distance to the last row is 1947m, the number n of wavelengths that fit into this distance are

n = \dfrac{1947m}{0.8575m}

n= 2270.55

which is 2270 full wavelengths.

Hence, there are 2270 full wavelengths between the stage and the last row of the crowd.

Which sentence describes Newton's first law?
Marrrta [24]

\Large{\red{\bf{\blue{\dag} Answer:-}}}

Newton's First Law of Motion :

An object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Here this statement is best represented by the statement : <em>Unbalanced forces cause an object to move.</em><em> </em>[ option c ]

<u>More</u><u> to</u><u> know</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

Newton's 3 laws of motion :-

Newton's First Law of Motion :-

It states that an object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Ex - (i) We tend to fall backwards while standing in the bus , when it starts suddenly.

(ii) We tend to fall forward while standing in the bus , when it stops suddenly.

Newton's Second Law of Motion :-

It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force in the direction of the force . That is ∆p \propto Force .

Ex - (i) When we push car & a truck with same force the car will have Greater acceleration due to less mass . (Imaginary case ).

(ii) We feel easy to push a empty cart than a full cart .

Newton's Third Law of Motion :-

It states that every action has equal and opposite reaction .

Ex - (i) We are able to walk on ground due to Newton's third law of motion .

(ii) When we push wall it also applies equal and opposite force .

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let x  =  distance of the base of the ladder from the base of the hill.

By definition,
sin(75°) = x/15
x = 75*cos(75°) = 3.882 ft

Answer:
The distance between the base of the hill and the base of the ladder is 3.9 ft (nearest tenth)
