Until 1883, every city and town in the United States kept its own local time. Today, travelers reset their watches only when the

time change equals 1.0 h. How far, on the average, must you travel in degrees of longitude until your watch must be reset by 9 hours? (Hint: Earth rotates 360° in about 24 h.)

Answer:

135° (degrees)

Explanation:

The Earth rotates 360° in about 24 h

How many degrees in 1 hour

360^{\circ}=24\ h\\\Rightarrow 1\ h=\frac{360}{24}\\\Rightarrow 1\ h=15^{\circ}

So, in 1 hour the Earth rotates 15 degrees. This means that a person would have to reset their watch by 1 hour after travelling 15 degrees

In 9 hours

9\ h=9\times 15^{\circ}=135^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow 9\ h=135^{\circ}

So, a person would have to travel 135 degrees in order to reset their watch by 9 hours.

If two bicycles of same masses move at different velocities,it will be easier to stop the bicycle that is moving at lower veloci
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

It is easier to stop the bicycle moving at a lower velocity because it will require a <em>smaller force</em> to stop it when compared to a bicycle with a higher velocity that needs a<em> bigger force.</em>

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Newton's Law of Motion." According to the <em>Third Law of Motion</em>, whenever an object exerts a force on another object <em>(action force)</em>, an equal force is exerted against it. This force is of the same magnitude but opposite direction.

When it comes to moving bicycles, the force that stops their movement is called "friction." Applying the law of motion, the higher the speed, the higher the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it while the lower the speed, the lower the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it.

Examine the symbols below:
iris [78.8K]

Answer: Symbol A

Explanation:

The four symbols described here represent:

- Symbol A shows two dots and a line draw from one not connected to the other.  --> this is an open switch. A switch is component of a circuit that is used to open/close the circuit in order to interrupt/allow the flow of current through the circuit. In this case, the switch is open, since the line does not connect the second dot.

- Symbol B shows two dots and a line draw from one connected to the other.  --> this is the symbol used to represent the switch when it is closed, so it is a closed switch.

- Symbol C shows vertical lines in the pattern long, short, long, and short with a plus and minus symbol on it. --> this symbol represents a battery, which consists of two or more cells and provides the electromotive force that pushes the electrons along the circuit.

Therefore, the correct symbol representing the open switch is

Symbol A
