Answer:

A yard is shorter than a meter.

Explanation:

>>>1 yard is 0.914 m, so a yard is shorter than a meter.

>>>1 mile is 1.609 km, so a mile is longer than a kilometer

>>>1 foot is 30.48cm, so a foot longer than a centimeter

>>> 1 inch is 2.54cm, so an inch is longer than a centimeter

From the above relationships, only a yard is shorter than a meter is true. Others are wrong.

Synchronous communications satellites are placed in a circular orbit that is 3.59 107 m above the surface of the earth. What is
suter [353]

Answer: 0.223 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

We can solve this with the Law of Universal Gravitation and knowing the acceleration due gravity g of an object above the surface of the planet decreases with the distance (height) of this object from the center of the planet.

Well, according to the law of universal gravitation:

F=G\frac{m_{E}m}{r^2}  (1)

Where:

F is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

G=6.67(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}} is the gravitational constant

m_{E}=5.98(10)^{24} kg is the mass of the Earth

m are the mass of each communications satellite

r=R_{E}+h is the distance between the center of the Earth and the satellite

R_{E}=6.38(10)^{6} m is the radius of the Earth

h=3.59(10)^{7} m is the height of the satellite, measured from the Earth's surface

On the other hand, we know according to <u>Newton's 2nd law of motion:</u>

F=mg  (2)

Combining (1) and (2):

G\frac{m_{E}m}{r^2}=mg  (3)

Isolating g:

g=\frac{G M_{E}}{r^2}  (4)

Remembering r=R_{E}+h:

g=\frac{G M_{E}}{(R_{E}+h)^2}  (5)

g=\frac{(6.67(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.98(10)^{24} kg)}{(6.38(10)^{6} m+3.59(10)^{7} m)^2}  

Finally:

g=0.223 m/s^{2}

Gas and oil from the dead creatures, the gas, and oil are trapped under layers of rock
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Gas is on top of oil

Explanation:

Gas is less dense ( smaller density ) than oil which is more dense. Since density is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to volume, gas will occupy a larger space than oil.

The larger space occupied is the space above the mixture of oil and gas, hence gas is above oil

What is the acceleration of a 349 kg object that moved with a force of 750 N?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.15 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{750}{349}  \\  = 2.14899713...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.15 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Identify two potential improvements to the opal extraction process and explain how these improvements could minimize harm to the
Orlov [11]

Answer

• Improving the environmental performances

• Developing Green Mining technology

Explanation

The effect to the environment caused by opal mining are; impact on soils and geology, clearing of native vegetation disrupting flora and fauna, change in land use and effects of air quality.

Opal mining is currently examining environmental impacts and adopting measures that mitigate the impacts making the process less destructive to the environment.

With the current commitment to sustainability, opal companies are investing funds for Green Mining as a positive way to impact the environment before and after mining.
