The correct answer is D. An average city

Explanation:

A neutron star differs from others due to its massive density, this means a lot of matter is compressed in a small area. Indeed, neutron stars have a mass of around 1.4 to 2.8 times the mass of the sun. But these are considerably small as they only measure around 20 kilometers, which is the size of an average city. Additionally, neutron stars are this dense because they are the result of a regular star exploding, which leads to a super-dense core, or neutron star. In this context, the mass of a neutron star is compressed to the size of an average city.

Three resistors connected in series have potential differences across them labeled /\V1 , /\V2 , and /\V3. What expresses the po

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

$\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3$

Explanation:

We are given that three resistors R1, R2 and R3 are connected in series.

Let

Potential difference across $R_1=\Delta V_1$

Potential difference across $R_2=\Delta V_2$

Potential difference across $R_3=\Delta V_3$

We know that in series combination

Potential difference , $V=V_1+V_2+V_3$

Using the formula

$\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3$

Hence, this is required expression for potential difference.

Answer:

Explanation:

The coordinate sketch for the system is shown in the attached file below. Also, in the cartesian coordinate system, since the height is less than the length and width, we did neglect the height. Thus, we eliminate the height and converted it to a two-dimension.

. An object’s resistance to change in motion is dependent solely on what quantity?

Tomtit [17]

It is dependent upon the object's mass. The greater the mass of the object greater will be the inertia of the object, and hence it's resistance to change in motion as well.

The Pacific Giant Kelp grows at a rate of 18 in/day. How many centimeters per hour is this?

Airida [17]

For this case we must do a conversion. By definition we have to:

1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters

1 day equals 24 hours.

So, we have: $18 \frac {in} {day} * \frac {1} {24} \frac {day} {h} * \frac {2.54} {1} \frac {cm} {in} =$
