Answer:

The horizontal distance x between the two balloons is 54.15 m

Explanation:

The diagram described as obtained online is presented in the image attached to this solution.

Let the horizontal distance between the two balloons be x

Difference in height (vertical distance) between the two balloons = 61 - 48.2 = 12.8 m

Using trigonometric relations, it is evident that

Tan 13.3° = 12.8/x

x = 12.8/tan 13.3° = 12.8/0.2364 = 54.15 m

Why is Pluto now called a dwarf planet
zvonat [6]
Before Pluto was discovered, it was predicted. Astronomers had observed that massive objects can affect the orbits of its neighbors, and, after seeing deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, assumed something substantial existed beyond their orbits.
When Pluto was spotted, it was thought to be the predicted object and was identified as a ninth planet.
A few decades later, astronomers started discovering more and more objects around other stars and didn’t know whether to call them planets or not. There appeared to be a need to define what a planet means, and that led to what some people consider Pluto’s demotion to a dwarf planet.
The International Astronomical Union decided that full-sized planets must orbit the sun, have a round shape, and have cleared their orbits of other objects. Pluto fulfills the first two criteria, but not the third.
It still goes around the sun, it’s round enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both eccentric and inclined more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.
This debate about whether to call it a planet or not is silly, because it doesn’t matter to Pluto what you call it. It is an interesting object, goes around the sun, and shows geology and an atmosphere.
There’s a tendency to define objects based on what they are now, but nothing is constant in the universe. There are some issues with the nomenclature, and a definition today may not apply to the same object tomorrow.

A car moves with constant acceieration of -0.s m/s? on a straight portion of the road. Att- 0s the car has a velocity of 69 mph,
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

b) d = 0.71 Km

Explanation:

Car kinematics

Car 1 moves with uniformly accelerated movement

v_f^2=v_o^2+2a*d Formula (1)

d: displacement in meters (m)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

a: acceleration in m/s²

Equivalences:

1mile = 1609.34 meters

1 hour = 3600s

1km = 1000m

Known data

v_o = 69\frac{mile}{hour} *1609.34\frac{meter}{mile} *\frac{1}{3600}\frac{hour}{s}=30.8 \frac{m}{s}

v_f= \frac{69}{2} \frac{mile}{hour} =34.5\frac{mile}{hour}=15.4 \frac{m}{s}

a = -0.5 m/s²

Distance calculation

We replace data in the Formula (1)

15.4^2 = 30.8^2+2(-0.5)*d

2(0.5)*d = 30.8^2 - 15.4^2

d =\frac{ 30.8^2 - 15.4^2}{2(0.5) }= 717.6m

d = 717.6 m\frac{1km}{1000m} = 0.7176Km

Two blocks with different temperatures had entropies of 10 J/K and 30 J/K before they were brought in contact. What can you say
True [87]

Answer:

a. Ssystem  > 40 J/K

Explanation:

Given that

The entropy of first block = 10 J/K

The entropy of second block = 30 J/K

When two bodies come into contact with each other, the entropy of the combined system will increase and the entropy sum remains unchanged: According to the Second law of thermodynamics.The entropy of the system will be greater than 40  J/K.

Therefore the answer is a.

Ssystem  > 40 J/K

A 6 kg bowling ball is accelerated at a rate of 2.3 m/s² down the lane. How much force was necessary to produce this acceleratio
ira [324]
According to Newton's 2nd law of motion:
F = m * a where F is the force applied in Newtons, m is the mass of the object in kg, and a is the acceleration of the object in m/s^{2}.
Therefore the force applied in this situation is simply:
F = 6 kg * 2.3 m/s^{2} = 13.8 N
Hope this helps!
