Answer:

1.35 miles

Explanation:

Since the slope is 14% grade = -14/100. This is a negative slope.

The distance of 1000 ft descended is a vertical descent, so assuming our initial position is 0, and Δx is the change in horizontal distance.

tanθ = -14/100 = (0 - 1000)/Δx = - 1000)/Δx

-14/100 = - 1000)/Δx

Δx = -1000 × -100/14= 7142.86 ft

5280 ft = 1 mile

7142.86 ft = 7142.86/5280 miles = 1.353 miles ≅ 1.35 miles

Its frequency belongs to the microwaves range and is one of the main demonstrations of the of the Big Bang theory model.

It is important to note the Big Bang occurred 400,000 years before the events related to the microwave cosmic radiation, this means the Big Bang occurred first.

Which example best demonstrates how unbalanced forces change the speed of an object's motion?
exis [7]

I don’t see a picture but unbalanced forces could be two boys pushing with a combined force of 400 Newton’s but the surface of what the box is laying on being 600 meaning since the ground is creating a higher force in the form of friction it will slow the boys down. When forces are unbalanced it means that the object can not be still or moving at a constant speed  when one force is greater by a significant amount the object either slows quickly or accelerates fast depending on which factor is greater.
