8 0

Answer:

0.00001 %

Explanation:

The distance from satellite = 20000 km

Position range = 2 m

The percentage uncertainty is given by dividing the distance from satellite by the position range of desired accuracy.

Percentage uncertainty is given by

\dfrac{2}{20000\times 10^3}\times 100=0.00001\ \%

The percentage uncertainty that is required is 0.00001 %

If you were to move to the Canadian North Woods, what adaptations or behavioral changes would you make?
iragen [17]

Adaptation will mean taking action to minimize the negative effects of change. ... the use of new tools and techniques for decision-making, For example, projected increases in drought, fire, windstorms, and insect and disease outbreaks are expected to result in greater tree mortality. Fewer trees will reduce Canada’s timber supply, which in turn will affect the economic competitiveness of Canada’s forest industry. This would leave forestry-dependent communities vulnerable to job losses, closure of forestry processing facilities and an overall economic slump.

How does hitting a ball with a tennis racquet involve action and reaction forces?
iragen [17]

Answer:

In a tennis match, the racket exerts the action force on the ball and, as the ball hits it, it exerts an equal and opposite reaction force on the racket. The rocket launches because it pushes on the gas coming out the back end for the action force, while the gas pushes the rocket upward with a reaction force.
