It is true that the diameter of the moon is a little less than the distance across the United States.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

Moon is the natural satellite of our Earth. It revolves around the Earth due to the gravitational force acting on the moon. The moon also has its own gravitational force. The gravitational force of moon is \frac{1}{6} t h of the gravitational force on Earth.

The mass of moon is 7.34 \times 10^{22} kg while the mass of the Earth is 5.972 \times 10^{24} kg. So the moon’s mass is very very less than that of Earth. So the diameter of moon is found as 3,472 km while the diameter of Earth is 12,742 km.

Thus the dimension of moon is \frac{1}{4} t h of the dimension of the Earth. Even the diameter of moon is little less than the distance across the United States as the distance across United States is 4509 km.

Blue to gray in color and reaching up to 10 feet (3.05 meters) in length and 220 pounds (99.8 kilograms) in weight, the sailfish
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

the distance traveled by the fish is 3648 m

Explanation:

In general, animals have a small period of acceleration, which we will despise after which they travel at a constant speed so we can use the kinematic equations in uniform motion

   

We reduce the units to System SI

      t = 2 min (60s / 1 min) = 120 s

Calculate

       V = x / t

       x= V t

       x = 30.4 120

       x = 3648 m

 

This is the distance traveled by the fish

What are not some emotional reactions to stress?
ahrayia [7]
Any type of physical act isn’t a emotional reaction. Things like crying or yelling or getting mad at yourself is emotional. Changes in your activity level, change in eating, sleeping, sense of humor. Increased uses in tobacco or drugs, when you’re becoming accident prone, when you’re not able to relax, when your heart rate increases, headaches, startled easily, when you’re tired all the time and sleep doesn’t help (fatigue). For women your period might change. When you get lower back pain, upset stomach, flare ups that are associated with allergies asthma or arthritis and if you get sick easier. If you lose more hair than normal for your body. If you’re blood pressure is up. Things like this is physical. You might find people will isolate themselves or blame themselves. They may have a difficulty concentrating. You can look up so many ways that stress can affect a person physically

Describe why cars are inefficient machines in terms of thermodynamics.
Alina [70]

Cars are the mechanical device which convert chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, the engine used in the automobiles car are very inefficient, they can only convert 30-40% of chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, since thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the conversion of energy, thus due to poor conversion rate of chemical energy into mechanical energy, cars are known as inefficient machine.
