What leads astronomers to believe that some large moons associated with the giant planets have compositions that are roughly hal

<span>Astronomers are able to determine facts about the composition of these moons by examining the nature of light that is reflected from their surfacy using a method called spectroscopy. This process works because different materials tend to reflect light at different wavelengths So, by observing at which wavelengths a planetary body reflects light, astronomers are able to estimate its composition.</span>

The more twists per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to ____.
Murljashka [212]
The more twist per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to cross talk. A cross talk in network planning and design is a disturbance produced by electromagnetic interference beside a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal interrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can source the signals to turn out to be confused and cross over each other.

You normally drive a 12-h trip at an average speed of 100 km/h . Today you are in a hurry. During the first two-thirds of the di
kherson [118]

Answer:

78 km/h

Explanation:

If I normally drive a 12 hour trip at an average speed of 100 km/h, my destination has a total distance of:

  • 100 km/h · 12 h = 1,200 km

Today, I drive the first 2/3 of the distance at 116 km/h. Let's first calculate what 2/3 of the normal distance is.

  • 1,200 * 2/3 = 800 km

I've driven 800 km already. I need to drive 400 km more to reach my final destination. I need to figure out my average speed during this last 1/3 of the distance.

To do this, I first need to calculate how much time I spent driving 116 km/h for the past 800 km.

  • 116 km/1 h = 800 km/? h
  • 800 = 116 · ?
  • ? = 800/116
  • ? = 6.89655172

I spent 6.89655172 hours driving during the first 2/3 of the distance.

Now, I need to subtract this value from 12 hours to find the remaining time I have left.

  • 12 h - 6.89655172 h = 5.10344828 h  

Using this remaining time and my remaining distance, I can calculate my average speed.

  • ? km/1 hr = 400 km/5.10344828 h
  • 5.10344828 · ? = 400
  • ? = 400/5.10344828
  • ? = 78.3783783148  

My average speed during the last third of the distance is around 78 km/h.

A large raindrop-the type that lands with a definite splat-has a mass of 0.0014 g and hits your roof at a speed of 8.1 m/s. a. W
DENIUS [597]

Answer

given,

mass of the drop, m = 0.0014 g

speed of the drop, u = 8.1 m/s

a) Change in momentum is equal to impulse

   final velocity of the drop, v = 0 m/s

   J = m ( v - u )

   J = 0.0014 x 10⁻³ x ( 0 - 8.1 )

   J = -1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s

impulse of the roof = - J = 1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s

b) time, t = 0.37 m s

   impact of force = ?

  we know

     J = F x t

   1.134 x 10⁻⁵ = F x 0.37 x 10⁻³

     F =  0.031 N

the magnitude of the force of the impact is equal to F =  0.031 N
