Earth orbits 1 AU from the Sun, and the Oort cloud extends from about 10,000 to 100,000 AU from the Sun. If you represent Earth’

s orbit around the Sun with a paper plate 4 inches in radius, how far away will the inner edge of the Oort Cloud be? The outer edge? Express your answers in miles.

Explanation:

Earth’s orbit around the Sun represented as :

1 AU = 4 inches

Therefore,

<u>Inner edge</u> of the Oort Cloud represented as :

10,000 AU = 40,000 / 63360 = 0.631 miles

<u>Outer edge</u> of the Oort Cloud represented as<u>:</u>

100,000 AU = 400,000 / 63360 = 6.31 miles

If an organism starts from only one cell,how do we get different body parts and organs
Vladimir [108]

Every cell has chromosomes in its nucleus.  In a human cell,
there are 26 of them. AND ... lined up on every chromosome
are thousands and thousands of GENES.  Those carry the
instructions for what kind of organ or bone or tissue or hair
this cell will be used to build, how the structure will work, how
tall you will be, what color your eyes will be, how deep your
voice will be, and what illnesses you will have. 

Every cell has the complete set of instructions in it.  In the past
several years, we have just started to be able to read them, and
extraordinary progress has been made.  There's an awful long way
still left to go.

If the vertical component of velocity for a projectile is 7.3 meters/second, what is its hang time?
Kamila [148]
A projectile motion is characterized by motion moving in a direction of an arc. It is acted upon by two component vectors: the horizontal and vertical. These two vectors are independent of each other when it comes to time of flight. The horizontal direction travels at constant speed, while the vertical direction travels at constant acceleration due to gravity, The time for an object to reach the ground would be equal, whether dropped from the sampe point or thrown in a projectile motion. Of course, this is assuming ideality wherein there is no air resistance.

So, the hang up time, or the time the object stayed on air is calculated using this equation:

a = Δv/t
Δv is the change in velocity which is the initial velocity when it was dropped to when it reaches zero velocity when it hits the ground.
9.81 m/s² = |(0 - 7.3)|/t
t = 0.744 seconds

In the aftermath of an intense earthquake, the earth as a whole "rings" with a period of 54 minutes.
lawyer [7]

The frequency of the oscillation in hertz is calculated to be 0.00031 Hz.

The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of cycles completed per second while the period refers to the time taken to complete a cycle. The frequency is the inverse of period.

So;

Period(T) = 54 minutes or 3240 seconds

Frequency (f) = T-1 = 1/T = 1/3240 seconds = 0.00031 Hz
