The moon has a greater effect, because it has a gravitational pull also known as gravity.

6. Explain the difference between a neutral atom and an ion?

Deffense [45]

Answer:

a neutral atom doesn't have a charge and an ion does.

Explanation:

When atoms bond they can gain or lose electrons which gives them a charge.

anion = negatively charged ion

cation = positively charged ion

you are piloting a small plane and you want to reach an airport 450 km due south in 3.0 h a wind is blowing from the west 50.0 k

alex41 [277]

Answer:

You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south

Explanation:

The distance to the air port is 450 km due to south

You should to reach the airport in 3 hours

→ Velocity = distance ÷ time

→ Distance = 450 km , time = 3 hours

→ The velocity of your plane = 450 ÷ 3 = 150 km/h due to south

A wind is blowing from west 50 km/h

We need to know what heading and airspeed you should choose to

reach your destination

At first we must find the resultant velocity of your plane and the wind

The south and west are perpendicular, then the resultant velocity is

→ $v_{R}=\sqrt{(v_{p})^{2}+(v_{w})^{2}}$

→ $v_{p}=150$ km/h , $v_{w}=50$ km/h

→ $v_{R}=\sqrt{(150)^{2}+(50)^{2}}=158.11$ km/h

To cancel the velocity of the wind, the pilot should maintain the velocity

of the plane at 158.11 km/h

The direction of the velocity is the angle between the resultant velocity

and the vertical (south)

→ The direction of the velocity is $tan^{-1}\frac{50}{150}=18.4$ °

The direction of the velocity is 18.4° west of south

<em>You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south</em>

Calculate the average speed in metres per second from Glasgow to Edinburgh

mariarad [96]

This is the same question as the one previously but with more details, so I will just use my previous answer.

1800 to 1820 is 20 minutes.1830 to 1838 is 8 minutes.1840 to 1905 is 25 minutes.
The total time travelled is 20+8+25 = 53 minutes = 3180 seconds.
The distance between Glasgow and Edinburgh is 28 + 12 + 34 = 74 km = 74000 m.

So, the average speed is 74000m/3180s = 23.27 m/s (4 s.f.)

What are two advantages of using renewable resources?

Pavel [41]

One advantage is that whatever resource it is, it will never run out and you wont have to worry about not having it. A second is that there is going to be enough for everyone to use however much they want without there having to be a limit on how much you use.
