I think there's a typo because the answer I'm getting is very large.

This is what I'm getting

--------------------------------------

c = speed of light

c = 3.0 x 10^8 m/sec approximately

This is roughly 300 million meters per second

The time it takes the signal to reach the aircraft and come back is 1.4 x 10^3 seconds. Half of this time period is going one direction (say from the radar station to the aircraft), so (1.4 x 10^3)/2 = 7.0 x 10^2 seconds is spent going in this one direction.

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

d = (3.0 x 10^8) * (7.0 x 10^2)

d = (3.0*7.0) x (10^8*10^2)

d = 21.0 x 10^(8+2)

d = 21.0 x 10^10

d = (2.1 x 10^1) * 10^10

d = 2.1 x (10^1*10^10)

d = 2.1 x 10^11 meters

d = 210,000,000,000 meters (this is 210 billion meters; equivalent to roughly 130,487,950 miles)

Answer:

D. The primary source, because it was written by the researcher

Explanation:

One should learn to trust the primary source more because it is the real work of the researcher.

A primary work defines the work of research from his or her experimental findings.

  • The primary source presents experimental data and other subordinates ones to reach a conclusion as seen from the view of the researcher.
  • A secondary source implies someone else documenting their own opinion about the primary experimental set up.
  • This can get dicey in the sense that results can be twisted to serve other ulterior motives.

In this circuit (see picture), which resistor will draw the least power?
Basile [38]
A few different ways to do this: 

Way #1: 
The current in the series loop is  (12 V) / (total resistance) . 
(Turns out to be 2 Amperes, but the question isn't asking for that.)

In a series loop, the current is the same at every point, so it's
the same current through each resistor.

The power dissipated by a resistor is  (current)² · (resistance),
and the current is the same everywhere in the circuit, so the
smallest resistance will dissipate the least power.  That's  R1 .

And by the way, it's not "drawing" the most power.  It's dissipating it.

Way #2:
Another expression for the power dissipated by a resistance is

                 (voltage across the resistance)²  /  (resistance)  .

In a series loop, the voltage across each resistor is

          [ (individual resistance) / (total resistance ] x battery voltage.

So the power dissipated by each resistor is

         (individual resistance)² x [(battery voltage) / (total resistance)²]

This expression is smallest for the smallest individual resistance.
(The other two quantities are the same for each individual resistor.)
So again, the least power is dissipated by the smallest individual resistance.
That's R1 .                                      

Way #3:  (Einstein's way)
If we sat back and relaxed for a minute, stared at the ceiling, let our minds
wander, puffed gently on our pipe, and just daydreamed about this question
for a minute or two, we might have easily guessed at the answer.

===>  When you wire up a battery and a light bulb in series, the part
that dissipates power, and gets so hot that it radiates heat and light, is
the light bulb (some resistance), not the wire (very small resistance).

Which phrase describes an atom?
kiruha [24]

You haven't included the list of choices that goes with the question, so it's
impossible for me to choose the correct one, or to help you choose it.

Regarding my ability to answer the question and collect the 5-point bounty,
I'm free to make up any phrase of my own that correctly describes an atom.

-- very very very very very very very tiny

-- includes even tinier particles, with electric charges
   both positive and negative

-- smaller than the wavelength of visible light

EXPLAIN CONSERVATION OF MOMEMTUM WITH THE HELP OF COLLISION OF TWO OBJECT.
Vlada [557]

i hate this question.

Conservation of momentum - is when the total momentum before and after collision is equal.

Here is the formula darling,

p = p

mv = mv

See the pic for example. HmpH

A swarm of bees has an average velocity of 0.20 meters per second. How far will they travel in 2 minutes? Show equation, substit
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

24 metre

Explanation:

From the available information in this question,

The swarm of bees moves at 0.20 per second

If it moves at

O.20 = 1 second,

We have a minute to be = 60 seconds

So in one 1 minute the velocity =

0.20 x 60 seconds

= 12 meters

The 2 minutes = 60 seconds x 2

2 minutes = 120 seconds

120 x 0.20 = 24 meters

So in 2 minutes these swarm of bees are going to travel a distance of 24 metres
