What's the origin of the phrase '<em>The Big Apple</em>'? ... He reports hearing the phrase used by stable lads while on a visit to New Orleans in 1920, although there's nothing in that report to link the phrase to New York.

"<em>Big Apple</em>" is a nickname for New York City. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. Its popularity since the 1970s is due in part to a promotional campaign by the New York tourist authorities.

Which causes objects in the universe to resist a change in speed or direction?
Ierofanga [76]

Inertia

Inertia is the property of a body of matter. It is described in Newton’s first law that an object will tend to remain at rest or move in a straight line at a constant speed unless a force acts on the  object. The higher the mass of an object the higher its inertia.

Explanation:

In the vacuum of space, this is certainly evident because a celestial mass like an asteroid can move in a straight line for over billions of light-years with more or less the same speed unless another force of the universe such as gravity and dark energy act on this object. The reason this is less evident on earth is due to gravity and air resistance of the atmosphere that will quickly reduce the speed on an object and change its trajectory.

Sam is rowing a boat away from a dock. the graph shows the relationship between time and Sam's distance from the dock. evaluate
LiRa [457]

Answer:

D. after 3 minutes, Sam is 40 meters from the dock.

Explanation:

For an input of 3, the function will produce a value of 40. That is in 3 minutes, the boat would have covered a distance of 40meters.

We can solve this problem using the given graph.

We know that this is a distance - time graph. The slope of this graph gives the value of the speed of the boat.

  • From the time - axis, mark point 3 which corresponds to the input given.
  • Trace it up to the point where it coincides with the graph.
  • Then find the distance axis value of the point.
  • Doing this yield 40m

So, in 3 minutes, Sam will row a distance of 40m.
