which of these statements best explains why the difference between summer and winter temperatures is greatet in Russia thanin FL

1 answer:

5 0

I don't know your statement, but one explanation for this is that Russia is mostly located on land, away from water and Florida is surrounded by water.

Water takes up the heat from the environment, so it has the effect of making the temperatures of objects around it milder: cooling down when hot, warming up when too cold.

Carol drops a stone in a mine shaft 122.5 metres deep.How

Verizon [17]

Answer:

T = 5.36 s

Explanation:

given,

depth of the mine shaft = 122.5 m

speed of the sound = 340 m/s

time taken = ?

time taken by the stone to reach at the bottom

using equation of motion

$s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

initial speed , u = 0 m/s

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 122.5}{9.8}}$

t = 5 s

time taken by the sound to travel

d =v x t

$t = \dfrac{d}{v}$

$t = \dfrac{122.5}{340}$

t = 0.36 s

total time taken for the sound to reach carol after dropping the stone

T = 5 + 0.36

T = 5.36 s

*please please help* Suppose you are going on a car trip with your family.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

1. To determine the average speed for the first day of the trip, the total distance traveled would have to be acquired and then how long it took to arrive at the final destination, only including the time that was actually traveled and not any time that was accumulated by any rest stops. Once you have this information, you have to divide the distance over time and you have the average speed (mph).

2. To determine the instantaneous speed, you would just have to look at the speedometer, which tells you at what speed the car is traveling at that exact moment.

Assuming that each of the following objects is a typical example of its class, rank them by increasing density.

molecular cloud <interstellar cloud <1 Msun protostar <1 Msun star <intercloud gas

Explanation:

Molecular cloud- They are a variety of interstellar cloud in which molecular hydrogen can sustain themselves. They have a very low temperature ranging from -440 to -370 degrees Fahrenheit or between 10 to 50 Kelvin. Owing to their extremely low temperature, they appear mostly dark when viewed through telescopes.

Interstellar cloud- They are a congregation of a large number of interstellar gases, dust and plasma in any galaxy or universe. They have varying temperature depending on their proximity to a star. E.g. Neutral hydrogen atom clouds have a temperature of around just 100 Kelvin while those in the near vicinity of a star have temperatures as high as 10,000 Kelvin.

1 Msun star- These stars have temperature anywhere between 5300 and 6000 Kelvin. The main source of such high surface temperature is nuclear fusion process where elemental hydrogen molecules are fused to form helium molecules.

1 Msun protostar- protostar is rather a young star which is still in formation phase (i.e. gathering mass from the parent molecular cloud). They have temperature anywhere between 2000-3000 kelvin and are accompanied by dust usually.

Intercloud gas- These are the remainder gases that are spread throughout the interstellar space. This Intercloud gas is divided into warm intercloud medium and extremely hot coronal gas with temperatures comparing to Sun’s corona. Warm intercloud forms the dominant part of intercloud gas with a temperature around 8000 Kelvin.

A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 86.0 m/s2

Harman [31]

When the fuel of the rocket is consumed, the acceleration would be zero. However, at this phase the rocket would still be going up until all the forces of gravity would dominate and change the direction of the rocket. We need to calculate two distances, one from the ground until the point where the fuel is consumed and from that point to the point where the gravity would change the direction.

Given:
a = 86 m/s^2
t = 1.7 s

Solution:

d = vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2)
d = (0) (1.7) + 0.5 (86) (1.7)^2
d = 124.27 m

vf = vi + at
vf = 0 + 86 (1.7)
vf = 146.2 m/s (velocity when the fuel is consumed completely)

Then, we calculate the time it takes until it reaches the maximum height.
vf = vi + at
0 = 146.2 + (-9.8) (t)
t = 14.92 s

Then, the second distance
d= vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2)
d = 146.2 (14.92) + 0.5 (-9.8) (14.92^2)
d = 1090.53 m

Then, we determine the maximum altitude:
d1 + d2 = 124.27 m + 1090.53 m = 1214.8 m

The power rating of an electric lawn mower is 2000 watts if lawnmower is used for 120 seconds how many joules of work van it do

Scorpion4ik [409]

1 watt = 1 joule/sec

2,000 watts = 2,000 joules/sec

   (2,000 joule/sec) x (120 sec)

      = (2,000 x 120) (joule-sec/sec)

      = 240,000 joules .
