How many orders of magnitude (powers of ten) is the distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean?
1 answer:
Answer:
The distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean by an order of 1.
Explanation:
We have the average distance across the Atlantic ocean,
the average distance to the moon,
The factor by which the distance to moon is greater than the width of Atlantic ocean:
i.e.
the distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean by an order of 1.

Answer:
a)α= 53.13°
b)The velocity at the highest point = 15 m/s
The acceleration at the highest point = 9.8
c)h=15 m
V=18.02 m/s
Explanation:
Speed of water ,u= 25 m/s
So the horizontal component of speed u = u cos α
Given that horizontal distance cover by water in 3 s is 45 m.
So We know that in projectile motion horizontal acceleration is zero.
In horizontal direction
Distance = Velocity x time
45 = u cos α x 3
u cos α = 45
45 = 25 cos α x 3
cos α = 45/75
α= 53.13°
So the velocity at the highest point = u cos α
The velocity at the highest point = 15 m/s
The acceleration at the highest point = 9.8
Now the velocity along vertical direction(Vo) = u sin α
Vo= 25 sin 53.13°
Vo =20 m/s
h=15 m
So at 15 m above the ground water will strike .
The y-component of velocity after 3 sec
Vy= Vo - g t
Vy = 20 - 10 x 3
Vy= -10 m/s
The horizontal component of velocity will remain 15 m/s.
The resultant velocity
V=18.02 m/s
