In an effort to protect a rhino, volunteers are following its steps with air monitoring and ground cameras. The rhino starts on
finlep [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent each displacement by vectors . i will represent east , -i west , j north and - j south .

Rhino walks 1.5 km west on day 1.

D₁ = - 1.5 i

The rhino then moves 0.7 km on a straight line in a direction of 15o east of north toward ground camera B

D₂ = .7 sin15 i + .7cos15 j

On the second day, the rhino moves 2.5 km directly south

D₃ = - 2.5 j

D = D₁ + D₂ + D₃

= - 1.5 i + .7 sin15 i + .7cos15 j - 2.5 j

= - 1.5 i + .181 i + .676 j - 2.5 j

= - 1.32 i - 1.824 j

magnitude  of total displacement

= √ (1.32² +1.824²

= 2.25 km

For direction we shall calculate slope with x axis

Tanθ = - 1.824 / - 1.32

= 54°

So rhino will be towards 54° south of west as both x and y coordinates are negative.

The Ptolemaic model of the universe:
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The Ptolemaic model of the universe <u><em>A) explained and predicted the motions of the planets with deferents and epicycles.</em></u>

Explanation:

Ptolemy of Alexandria built an explanation of the observed movements of the planets that remained in force for thirteen centuries. Ptolemy proposed a model of the Universe with the Earth in the center. In the model, the Earth remains stationary while the planets, the Moon and the Sun describe complicated orbits around it. In other words, Ptolemy devised a system in which he used epicycles, deferential and eccentric, and it was necessary to introduce an equating point to reproduce planetary movements. He proposed that:

a) Each planet revolves with constant velocity around a circle called an epicycle.

b) The center of the epicycle is located and moves with constant velocity around another circle called deferential.

c) The center of the deferent is located at a moving point, which travels with constant speed describing another circumference called eccentric.

d) The center of the eccentric coincides with the center of the Universe.

e) Since the Earth is not located in the center of the Universe, but very close to it, it was necessary to introduce an equating point, which is not on Earth, and from which you can see the planet move with constant speed.

However, Ptolemy put forward this geometric theory to explain mathematically the movements and failed to adjust any system of cycles, epicycles and eccentrics that accurately represented the observed movements of the planets.

Finally, <u><em>The Ptolemaic model of the universe A) explained and predicted the motions of the planets with deferents and epicycles.</em></u>

What is the difference in the speed of the generator with a small magnet and a generator with a large magnet?
Delvig [45]
With a small magnet with a generator it will be taken up quickly because how small it is while with a big generator it would take more force for it for the generator to attach because the larger the magnet that heavier it will be because it is attached to the North Pole magnet

An imbalance of _____________ causes an object to be charged.
dezoksy [38]
An imbalance of electrons causes an object to be charged. A charged substance is one that has a net charge that is not zero. If the number of protons and that of electrons is equal in an object, the object is not neutral, but it has zero charge. Loss or gain of electrons determine the charge of an object, when an object loses electrons it becomes positively charged, but when it gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.
