Answer: B.) HYDROPLANE

Explanation: The term hydroplane can be used to refer to a condition which usually occur during a downpour or on surfaces covered by water. It occurs when water forms a barrier or comes in between the frictional grip which occurs between the road surface and the car tyres. The contact between the car tyres and the road surface is supposed to give adequate frictional support which prevents the car from skidding or skidding uncontrollably on the road surface. However, when water comes invetween the surface, traction is lost and skidding results due to very low Coefficient of friction between the road and Tyre which was supposed to provide a firm grip between the tyres and the road surface.

Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years

Potential Energy (Before) = Kinetic Energy (After)

mgh = 0.5mv^2

divide both sides by m

gh = 0.5v^2

h = (0.5V^2)/g

h = (0.5*2.2^2)/9.81

Objects that are denser than water will sink in water. Question 1 options: True False
den301095 [7]
<h3>Answer: True</h3>

For example, a very dense metal will sink to the bottom while something like wood will float on the surface. The wood is less dense compared to the water, which is why it floats. Density is the measure of how much stuff you can pack in a certain volume. The higher the density, the more stuff per volume. Think of it like packing a suitcase. If there's barely anything in there, then we can say its density is low. The more stuff crammed in the suitcase will increase the density (and therefore the weight), while keeping the volume the same.
