Answer:

3. western slope

Explanation:

If we investigate the physical features (such as natural and artificial features) of the Sierra Nevada Mountains located at the California's central valley eastern part, the western slope has the highest value of the precipitation level yearly. This is due to the location of the slope and the relevant conditions such as temperature and humidity.

A person is riding on a Ferris wheel. When the wheel makes one complete turn, the net work done on the person by the gravitation
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

d = Vertical height from the ground

F = Force = Weight = mg

Net work done would be

W_n=W_{up}+W_{down}\\\Rightarrow W_n=Fdcos180+Fdcos0\\\Rightarrow W_n=-mgd+mgd\\\Rightarrow W_n=0

Hence, the work done on the person by the gravitational force is 0

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The orbit for satellite A is at a height of 403 km above the earth’s sur
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

v_A=7667m/s\\\\v_B=7487m/s

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on the satellites is given by the Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

F_g=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }

Where M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of a satellite, R the radius of its orbit and G is the gravitational constant.

Also, we know that the centripetal force of an object describing a circular motion is given by:

F_c=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Where m is the mass of the object, v is its speed and R is its distance to the center of the circle.

Then, since the gravitational force is the centripetal force in this case, we can equalize the two expressions and solve for v:

\frac{GMm}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}\\ \\\implies v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

Finally, we plug in the values for G (6.67*10^-11Nm^2/kg^2), M (5.97*10^24kg) and R for each satellite. Take in account that R is the radius of the orbit, not the distance to the planet's surface. So R_A=6774km=6.774*10^6m and R_B=7103km=7.103*10^6m (Since R_{earth}=6371km). Then, we get:

v_A=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{6.774*10^6m} }=7667m/s\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{7.103*10^6m} }=7487m/s

In words, the orbital speed for satellite A is 7667m/s (a) and for satellite B is 7487m/s (b).

un resorte de 10cm de longitud recibe una magnitud de fuerza que lo estira hasta medir 15cm ¿cual es la magnitud de la tension u
Ber [7]

Answer: 0.5

Explanation:

The modulus of elasticity (called <em>"alargamiento unitario"</em> in spanish) \epsilon of a spring is given by the following formula:

\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L}

Where:

L=10 cm  is the original length of the spring

\Delta L=L_{f}-L  is the elongation of the spring, being L_{f}=15 cm the length of the spring after a force is applied to it.

\epsilon=\frac{L_{f}-L}{L}=\frac{15 cm - 10 cm}{10 cm}

Then:

\epsilon=0.5

Question 2 (1 point)
eduard

Answer: Blake may have a decreased chance of disease.

Explanation:

Research has shown that on average, a person who engages in more physical activity will live longer than a person who does not with one reason for this being that engaging in physical activity helps reduce the risk of diseases such as; heart disease, diabetes, and many forms of cancer.

Obesity (risk factor) and high blood pressure are also reduced by engaging in physical activity.
