Wood isn't as tough as rock. Wood also breaks down in weather and cracks under pressure. Plus rocks were more accessible.
Answer:
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration is calculated by the following equation:
Where:
is the Earth's orbital speed
is the orbital radius
Answer:
3 km/h
Explanation:
Let's call the rowing speed in still water x, in km/h.
Rowing speed in upstream is: x - 2 km/h
Rowing speed in downstream is: x + 2 km/h
It took a crew 9 h 36 min ( = 9 3/5 = 48/5) to row 8 km upstream and back again. Therefore:
8/(x - 2) + 8/(x + 2) = 48/5 (notice that: time = distance/speed)
Multiplying by x² - 2², which is equivalent to (x-2)*(x+2)
8*(x+2) + 8*(x-2) = (48/5)*(x² - 4)
Dividing by 8
(x+2) + (x-2) = (6/5)*(x² - 4)
2*x = (6/5)*x² - 24/5
0 = (6/5)*x² - 2*x - 24/5
Using quadratic formula
A negative result has no sense, therefore the rowing speed in still water was 3 km/h
Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).
The correct answer to go in the blank would be A) The particles are moving faster.
