Answer:

The length of the resultant vector is 50 inches

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the answer, since the addition of these two perpendicular vectors will have a magnitude (length) equal to the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle formed by the two:

|Resultant|\,=\,\sqrt{x^2+y^2} \\|Resultant|\,=\,\sqrt{48^2+14^2}\\|Resultant|\,=\,\sqrt{2304+196}\\|Resultant|\,=\,\sqrt{2500}\\|Resultant|\,=\,50\,in  

The length of the resultant vector is 50 inches

Why are different constellations<br> of stars seen during different<br> seasons?
slamgirl [31]
Actually, they're not.  There's a group of stars and constellations arranged
around the pole of the sky that's visible at any time of any dark, clear night,
all year around.  And any star or constellation in the rest of the sky is visible
for roughly 11 out of every 12 months ... at SOME time of the night. 

Constellations appear to change drastically from one season to the next,
and even from one month to the next, only if you do your stargazing around
the same time every night.

Why does the night sky change at various times of the year ?  Here's how to
think about it:

The Earth spins once a day. You spin along with the Earth, and your clock is
built to follow the sun . "Noon" is the time when the sun is directly over your
head, and "Midnight" is the time when the sun is directly beneath your feet.

Let's say that you go out and look at the stars tonight at midnight, when you're
facing directly away from the sun.

In 6 months from now, when you and the Earth are halfway around on the other
side of the sun, where are those same stars ?  Now they're straight in the
direction of the sun.  So they're directly overhead at Noon, not at Midnight.

THAT's why stars and constellations appear to be in a different part of the sky,
at the same time of night on different dates.

Planet with an atmosphere that rains sulfuric acid
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Venus

Explanation:

Venus is the second plate in the solar system. It is a terrestrial planet and it is part of the inner rocky planets.

In Venus, it rains sulfuric acid but the rain never reaches the surface before it becomes evaporated. The acid forms from the combination of sulfur oxide and water in the atmosphere at a height of about 42km. As it condenses and falls, it becomes evaporated back at lower elevations. The surface is therefore protected from the sulfuric acid rain.

The sulfur oxide and water vapor must have been derived from volcanic activities in geologic times past.

The fluid pressure 10 ft underwater is _____ the fluid pressure 5 ft underwater. A.less than or greater than, depending on what
just olya [345]
<span>I would say greater than because as you do deeper, the pressure strengthens. If you were in a 10 ft deep pool and you dive all the way to the bottom, the ears usually pop. That's because of the pressure. Whereas if you were to go five feet, your ears wouldn't. It depends on the age of the person. Hope this helps.</span>
