Answer:

Distance between two adjacent wave crests = 24m

Explanation:

Distance= speed × time

Distance traveled by waves in 60 seconds (15 crests)= 15 × distance

15 × distance = 6,0 (meters/second) × 60 seconds

distance = (360 meters) / 15 = 24 meters (between two adyacent waves)

Identify the generic outer electron configuration for the halogens.
Delicious77 [7]
<span>The Halogen outer layer is considered to be full with eight electrons. Halogen is also considered to be part of the Noble gases classification. The exchange of electrons in the halogen atom renders a photon energy pulse with produces light. The consentrated light spectrum is produced in the halogen light bulbs and halogen laser products.</span>

A museum curator moves artifacts into place on various different display surfaces. If the curator moves a 145 kg aluminum sculpt
NikAS [45]
We are given the mass of an <span>aluminum sculpture which is 145 kg and a horizontal force equal to 668 Newtons. The coefficient of friction can be determined by dividing the horizontal force by the weight of the object. In this case, 668 N / 145 * 9.8 equal to coeff of friction of 0.47</span>

A football is kicked from a tee at 12 m/s at 72° above the horizontal. What is the flight time of the football? __s
Ierofanga [76]
2.3 seconds    

Ignoring air resistance, the flight time is merely a function of gravity and vertical velocity. The vertical velocity will be the initial velocity multiplied by the sine of the angle above the horizon. So: 

 V = sin(72)*12 m/s 

 V = 0.951056516 * 12 m/s 

 V = 11.4126782 m/s   

 Gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s, so divide the vertical velocity by gravitational acceleration to get how long it takes for the ball to reach its apex. 

 11.4126782 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 1.164559 s   

 And the old saying "What goes up, must come down" really applies here. And conveniently, it's also symmetric, in that the time it takes to fall will match the time it takes to reach its apex. So multiply the time by 2.  



1.164559 s * 2 = 2.329117999 s   

 Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 2.3 seconds.
