The four inner planets share several features in common.

(Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars)

They are called terrestrial planets because they have solid, rocky surfaces roughly similar to desert and mountainous areas on the earth.

Three Major Characteristics of the Inner Planets. The four inner planets -- Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars -- share several features in common. Astronomers call them the “terrestrial planets” because they have solid, rocky surfaces roughly similar to desert and mountainous areas on the earth.

Why was Democritus considered a philosopher and not a scientist?

Alika [10]

Answer:

Democritus had no scientific instruments to extend the reach of his senses, so all of his experiments were just 'mind experiments', but because Democritus was a philosopher, he thought more into depth about why we humans are alive which led to the atomic theory.

A cooling fan is turned off when it is running at 850 rev/min. It turns 1500 revolutions before it comes to a stop. (a) What was

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer

given,

cooling fan revolution = 850 rev/min

fan turns before revolution = 1500 revolutions

$\omega = 850 \dfrac{2\pi}{60}$

$\omega = 89\ rad/s$

θ = 1500 revolution

θ = 1500 x 2 x π

θ = 9424.78 rad

a) using equation of rotation

ω² = ω₀² + 2 α θ

ω = 0 because body comes to rest

0 = 89² + 2 x α x 9424.78

α = -0.42 rad/s²

b) time take for the fan to stop

ω = ω₀ + α t

0 = 89 - 0.42 t

$t = \dfrac{89}{0.42}$

t = 211.9 s

The moon is 3.85 x 10 to the 8 m from earth and has a diameter of 3.48 x 10 to the 6 m. You have a pea (diameter = 0.50 cm) and

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

(a) dime

Explanation:

Convert all to metric unit:

0.5 cm = 0.005 m

1.8 cm = 0.018 m

71 cm = 0.71 m

In order to find out we would need to calculate the ratio R between the object diameter d and their distance s to our eyes:

$R_m = \frac{d_m}{s_m} = \frac{3.48*10^6}{3.85*10^8} \approx 0.009$

$R_p = \frac{d_p}{s_p} = \frac{0.005}{0.71} \approx 0.007$

$R_d = \frac{d_d}{s_d} = \frac{0.018}{0.71} \approx 0.0253$

Since the ratio of the dime is larger than the ratio of the moon, and the ratio of the pea is smaller than the ratio of the moon, only the (a) dime can cover your view of the moon.

What is the horizontal component of a ball thrown at a 27 degree angle at 16 m/s?

Airida [17]

Answer:

14.25 m/s

Explanation:

In this problem, we need to find the horizontal component of a ball thrown at a 27 degree angle at 16 m/s.

It can be given by :

$v_x=v\cos\theta\\\\=16\times \cos(27)\\\\=14.25\ m/s$

So, the horizontal component of the ball is 14.25 m/s.
