Answer:

Distance = 30 m

Explanation:

Since the position of the bus is at zero, and distance is a scalar quantity. That is, we are only concerned about the magnitude

If Angela ran to the bus and back to where she started, the distance travelled will be:

Distance = 15 + 15 = 30 m

But her displacement will be:

Displacement = 15 - 15 = 0.

The temperature increase of a substance is T=Q/m*c, where m is the mass, Q is the energy absorbed and c is the specific heat. So you can conclude that if the lead gets to a higher temperature, it must have a lower specific heat

Hydraulic Pressure-Control, On-Off Deluge Valve

FP-400Y-5DC

The BERMAD model 400Y-5DC is an elastomeric, hydraulic line pressure operated deluge valve, designed specifically for advanced fire protection systems and the latest industry standards. The 400Y-5DC is activated by a hydraulically operated relay valve, through which opening and closing of the valve can be controlled either with a remote hydraulic command or with a wet pilot line with closed fusible plugs. An integral pressure reducing pilot valve ensures a precise, stable, pre-set downstream water pressure. The optional valve position indicator can include a limit switch suitable for Fire & Gas monitoring systems. The 400Y-5DC is ideal for systems that combine a remote wet pilot line with a high pressure water supply.

an athlete in a hammer-throw event swings a 7.0-kilogram hammer in a horizontal circle at a constant speed of 12 meters per seco

Semenov [28]

Answer:

ac = 72 m/s²

Fc = 504 N

Explanation:

We can find the centripetal acceleration of the hammer by using the following formula:

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

where,

ac = centripetal acceleration = ?

v = constant speed = 12 m/s

r = radius = 2 m

Therefore,

$a_c = \frac{(12\ m/s)^2}{2\ m}$

ac = 72 m/s²

Now, the centripetal force applied by the athlete on the hammer will be:

$F_c = ma_c\\F_c = (7\ kg)(72\ m/s^2)$

Fc = 504 N

Which of the following methods has led to the earliest discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars a. detect

Mrac [35]

Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.

The distiction between long and short term memory

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The main difference between short term and long term memory is that the short term memory stores data temporarily while the long term memory stores data permanently. Moreover, the short term memory is volatile while the long term memory is nonvolatile. Memory is the component in a computer that stores data and information.
