6.10 x 10^9 / 3 x 10^5 = 2.033 x 10^4 seconds = 20.33 / 3.6 = nearly 6 hours .

How does a mirage occur in a deser?explain with a labelled diagram.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.

Explanation:

They happen when light passes through two layers of air with different temperatures. The desert sun heats the sand, which in turn heats the air just above it. The hot air bends light rays and reflects the sky.

When you see it from a distance, the different air masses colliding with each other act as a mirror.

Buffalo, New York, and Raleigh, NC, lie approximately on the same meridian. Buffalo has a latitude of 42.9° N, and Raleigh has a

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Distance will be $=3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles$

Explanation:

We have given that Buffalo has a latitude of 42.9°N

And Raleigh has a latitude of 35.8°N

Radius of the earth = 3960 miles

We have to calculate the distance between given two cities

Difference in their latitudes = $42.9-35.8=7.1^{\circ}$

Now changing the angle in radian = $7.1\times\frac{\pi }{180}=0.12385radian$

So distance will be $=3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles$

what are the common elements that make up series and parallel circuits , and how are circuits diagrammed?

Ahat [919]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A series circuit occurs when the elements are connected along a simple path so the same current flows through all the elements. On the other hand, a parallel circuit occurs when there are two or more paths for the electricity to flow. The diagram are shown in the Figure below. We have chosen a source and resistors to illustrate this problem.

Which of the following is true about Viscosity of liquids:

White raven [17]

Viscosity of liquids is essentially the 'thickness' of the liquid. For instance, honey and water have different viscosities. Honey has a higher one and therefore, liquids with high viscosity do not flow as well as liquids with low viscosity (water).

A dart with mass md is launched toward a block of mass mb that is suspended from a string of length L. The dart is moving horizo

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A) Impulse is the same for both the objects

B) The higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

Explanation:

Part a)

The time of interaction of the two bodies i.e the hanging mass and the stick is same. Thus, force caused by dart on the block = force caused by block on the dart. Hence, impulse is the same for both the objects.

Part B

The energy will be conserved in the entire reaction process

Hence, Kinetic energy = potential energy

0.5Mv^2 = gh(md+mb)

H is directly proportional to the square of speed.

Hence, the higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.
