Answer:

Correct answers:

Explanation:

• It is a satellite that collects data about rain and snow.

GPM is part of NASA's Earth Systematic Missions program and its function is to track precipitation from space with satellites and to provide accurate information of the time, place an amount of rain or snow anywhere in the world.

• Its orbit covers 90 percent of Earth's surface.

GPM has unique perspective on measuring precipitation from space because of their collected satellite retrievals.

• The sensors measure microwaves.

GPM Microwave Imager (GMI) is a sensor that observes the microwave energy emitted by the Earth and atmosphere, so it improves the accuracy of rain and snowfall estimates.

Benjamina started her walk from the front door of her ground floor apartment. She walked 6 meters to the corner of the building

Cloud [144]

The distance is the total distance she walked which is 16 meters adding the 6 meters to the corner and 10 meters to her friend's apartment. Her displacement is the distance from her original starting point so you set up a triangle with side lengths of 6 and 10 and solve for the hypotenuse which gives you a displacement of 11.66 meters.

Answer:

Explanation:

The period of oscillation is given as

T=2π√m/k

Making k subject of the formula

Square both sides of the equation

T²=4π²(m/k)

Cross multiply

T²k=4π²m

Then, divide through by T²

k=4π²m/T²

Where

k is spring constant

m is the mass of the bob

And T is the period of the oscillation

m=140g=0.14kg

14 oscillations takes 14 seconds

Then the period is

T=time/oscillation

T=14/14

T=1sec

Then,

k=4π²m/T²

k=4π²×0.14/1²

k=1.76N/m

Then, the spring constant is 1.76N/m
