Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.50 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.45 km to

a bookstore. How far apart are their destinations?

Answer:

3.486 km

Explanation:

Suppose Joe and Max's directions are perfectly perpendicular (east vs north). We can calculate their distance at the destinations using Pythagorean theorem:

s = \sqrt{J^2 + M^2}

where J = 0.5 km and M= 3.45 km are the distances between Joe and Max to their original parting point, respectively. s is the distance between them.

s = \sqrt{0.5^2 + 3.45^2} = \sqrt{12.1525} = 3.486 km

You create a ramp using two text books and a 0.50m board. Using a timer you determine that a cart can roll down the ramp in 0.55
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s, and the acceleration would be 3.30m/s^2.

Explanation:

Assuming the initial velocity to be zero, we can obtain the velocity at the bottom of the ramp using the kinematics equations:

v=v_0+at\\\\v^2=v_0^2+2ad

Dividing the second equation by the first one, we obtain:

v=\frac{v_0^2+2ad}{v_0+at}

And, since v_0=0, then:

v=\frac{2ad}{at}\\\\v=\frac{2d}{t}\\\\v=\frac{2(0.50m)}{0.55s}\\\\v=1.81m/s

It means that the velocity at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s.

We could use this data, plus any of the two initial equations, to determine the acceleration:

v=v_0+at\\\\\implies a=\frac{v}{t}\\\\a=\frac{1.81m/s}{0.55s}\\\\a=3.30m/s^2

So the acceleration is 3.30m/s^2.

1. Why did Asteroid 2019 OK cause concern among scientists? * The asteroid was not detected until it was extremely close to Eart
AveGali [126]

Answer:

<u>The asteroid was not detected until it was extremely close to Earth. </u>

Explanation:

According to data from NASA, the Asteroid named 'Astriod 2019 OK', was detected when it was extremely close to earth with just about an estimated distance of  73,000 kilometers  (45,000 miles) from the Earth.

Scientists were concerned at the proximity of this space object to the Earth before it was discovered, and it brought about a cause of concern that since it was not extremely large (estimated 57 to 130 meters wide) it creates a potential for other smaller asteroids to escape detection and struck the earth.

A piece of transparent material that is used to focus light and form a image
Soloha48 [4]

Convex Lenses are used to focus light and form a image. They are transparent.

They are one type of lenses. Different type of lenses are used to focus light differently. The basic lenses are concave and convex. Convex lenses converge light falling on it whereas concave lenses diverge light falling on it.

why can light from the sun cause skin cancer but the light from a light bulb cannot cause skin cancer?
meriva

Answer:

Damage from UV exposure is cumulative and increases your skin cancer risk over time. While your body can repair some of the DNA damage in skin cells, it can't repair all of it. The unrepaired damage builds up over time and triggers mutations that cause skin cells to multiply rapidly. That can lead to malignant tumors.
