Radio transmissions show observers in Houston that the International Space Station is 323 miles away, the Chi- nese space statio

n Tiangong is 462 miles away, and the angle International Space Station–Houston–Tiangong is 109 . How far apart are the two space stations?

Answer:

The two space stations are 644.1653 miles far apart.

Explanation:

The distance of Huston and the International Space Station is 323 miles.

The distance of Huston and the Chinese space station Tiangong is 462 miles.

Angle between the two stations = 109⁰

So, applying the law of cosines as;

c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC

From the picture shown below, a = 323 miles and b = 462 miles

So,

c² = 323² + 462² + 2(323)(462)cos109 = 104329 + 213444 - 298452cos109

cos109 = -0.3256

So,

c² = 414948.9712

<u>c = 644.1653 miles</u>

The average diameter of one tennis ball in a package of three is 6.8 cm. Which of the following is the combined volume of all th
Crank

We want to find the combined volume of 3 tennis balls. We will get that the combined volume is 493.7 cm^3

First, remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the volume is:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{D}{2})^3

Where 3.14 is pi.

Here we know that the average diameter of a tennis ball is 6.8cm, then we can replace that in the above equation to find the volume (in average) of a single tennis ball:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{6.8cm}{2})^3 = 164.5 cm^3

Now, in 3 balls of tennis, the combined volume will be 3 times the above one, this is:

3*V = 3*164.5cm^3 = 493.7 cm^3

Which statement correctly defines power?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Power=V\, I which corresponds to the second option shown: "voltage times amperage"

Explanation:

The electric power is the work done to move a charge Q across a given difference of potential V per unit of time.

Since such electrical work is the product of the potential difference V times the charge that moves through that potential, and this work is to be calculated by the unit of time, we need to divide the product by time (t) which leads to the following final simple equation:

Power=\frac{V\,Q}{t} =V\,\frac{Q}{t} = V\, I

Notice that we replaced the quotient representing charge per unit of time (Q/t) by the actual current running through the circuit.

This corresponds to the second option shown in the question: "Voltage times amperage".

How much tension is in a rope if it pulls a 5-kg bucket filled with water with an upward acceleration of 1m/s^2
liraira [26]
F=ma
Tension - weight = mass x acceleration
T - 5(9.81) = 5 x 1
T = 5 + 5(9.81)
T = 54.05 N
T ≈ 54 N
