Two students who live on planet X. They want to estimate the circumference. The two students synchronize their watches before on

Answer:

72000 miles

Explanation:

If the distance between the students is 600 miles, and this implies in a 3 degree difference in the sun position, that means this 600 miles is related to 3 degrees of the circunference of the planet.

So, to find the whole circunference of the planet, that is, 360 degrees, we just need to use a rule of three:

3 degrees -> 600 miles

360 degrees -> x miles

3x = 600 * 360

x = 600 * 360 / 3 = 72000 miles

A piece of steel expands 10 cm when ur is heated from 20 to 50 degrees Celsius. How much would it expand if it was heated from 2
faltersainse [42]

The steel would expand by 4. 8 * 10^-3 cm

<h3>How to determine the linear expansion</h3>

The change in length  ΔL is proportional to length  L. It is dependent on the temperature, substance, and length.

Using the formula:

ΔL= α LΔT

where  ΔL  is the change in length  L = 10cm

ΔT  is the change in temperature = 60° - 20° = 40° C

 α  is the coefficient of linear expansion = 1.2 x 10^-5 °C

Substitute into the formula

ΔL = 1.2 * 10^-5 * 10 * 40

ΔL = 4.8 * 10 ^-3 cm

Therefore, the steel would expand by 4. 8 * 10^-3 cm

What form of electro magnetic radiation does Wi-Fi use
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

<h2>Non-Ionizing Radiation From Wireless Technology </h2>

Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It is used to transmit signals carrying information in the form of radio waves. Radio waves are broadcast using a transmitter. When the radio waves reach a receiver, the signal is converted back into the information that was originally sent by the transmitter. When you talk on a cell phone, your cell phone acts as a transmitter and your voice is carried on radio waves to the person you are calling. Their phone acts as the receiver and converts the signal back into your voice. In addition to cell phones, other wireless devices such as radios, Wi-Fi routers, satellites, radars and pacemakers can send or receive RF energy waves.

In a 30.0-s interval, 500 hailstones strike a glass window with an area of 0.600m2 at an angle of 45.0°to the window surface. Ea
aliina [53]

or one hailstone we have;
Force = Mass X acceleration = 0.005kg x 9.8.} This is when the hailstone is not inclined at an angle.
When the hailstone is inclined at an angle of 45, then the component of force along the glass window will be F =0.005kg x 9.8 x sin45= 0.005kg x 9.8 x 0.707= 0.0346N.
Therefore, total force for the 500 hailstones would be 500x0.0346N=17.32N
This force is acting on an area equal to 0.600m2
Pressure = Force per unit area = 17.32N/0.600m2 = 28.9Pa

A Cessna aircraft has a liftoff speed of 120 km/h What minimum constant acceleration does the aircraft require to be airborne af
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<h3>2.3125m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion v² = u²+2aS

v is the final velocity = 120km/hr

120km/hr = 120 * 1000/1 * 3600 = 33.3m/s

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

a is the acceleration

S is the distance covered = 240m

On substituting the given parameters

33.3² = 0²+2a(240)

33.3² = 480a

1110 = 480a

a = 1110/480

a = 2.3125m/s²

Hence the minimum constant acceleration that the aircraft require to be airborne after a takeoff run of 240 m is 2.3125m/s²
