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

e student leaves on vacation 600 miles due west to their home. They notice a 3 degree difference in altitude of the sun at local noon. What is the circumference of the planet?

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

What are the characteristics of high energy waves?
sladkih [1.3K]
<span>The relationship between wavelength, frequency and energy of Electromagnetic Radiation is given by E = hf = hc/lamba -------(1) So from (1) there's a linear relationship between E and f. The higher the frequency, f, the higher the energy E. Also from (1) it is obvious that the lower the wavelength, lambda, the higher the energy, E. This means the answer is D.</span>

Ow much charge flows from a 12.0 v battery when it is connected across a completely discharged 18.0 μf capacitor
Trava [24]
The equation Q=CV (Charge = product of Capacitance and potential difference) tells us that the maximum charge that can be stored on a capacitor is equal to the product of it's capacitance and the potential difference across it. In this case the potential difference across the capacitor will be 12.0V (assuming circuit resistance is negligable) and it has a capacitance of 18.0μf or  18.0x10^-6f, therefore charge equals (18.0x10^-6)x12=2.16x10^-4C (Coulombs).
