Answer:
197.76 m
Explanation:
r = Radius of the path = 20.6 km = 
= The angle subtended by moon = 
Distance traveled is given by
The distance traveled by the jet is 197.76 m
Resistance = (voltage) / (current)
Resistance = (120 V) / (0.5 A)
<em>Resistance = 240 ohms</em>

Know what ? There might be too much information given in this question. I want to check, because it's possible that it might not even all fit together.
To calculate my answer, I only used the voltage and the current. I didn't use the "60 watts", and I'm curious to know whether it even fits with the given voltage and current.
Power = (voltage) times (current).
Power = (120 V) times (0.5 A)
Power = 60 watts
Well gadzooks and sure enough ! The three numbers given in the question all go together nicely.
And not only THAT !
The answer could have been calculated by using ANY TWO of them.
The acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of the Earth is 9.8 m/s².
Anything acted on only by gravity loses 9.8 m/s of upward speed, or gains
9.8 m/s of downward speed, every second.
Leaping straight upward at 1.8 m/s, Tina keeps rising until she runs out of
upward speed. That happens in (1.8/9.8) = 0.1837 second after the leap.
After that, Finkel's First Law of Motion takes over:
"What goes up must come down."
The dropping part of the leap is symmetrical with the first. Please don't
make me go through proving it. Tina hits the floor at the same speed of
1.8 m/s with which she left it, and it takes the same amount of time to drop
from the peak to the floor as it took to rise from the floor to the peak.
So her total time out of contact with the floor is
2 x (0.1837 sec) = 0.367 second (rounded)
Answer:
What is kinetic friction?
Kinetic friction is defined as a force that acts between moving surfaces. A body moving on the surface experiences a force in the opposite direction of its movement.
What causes it?
When the mass is not moving, the object experiences static friction. The friction increases as the applied force increases until the block moves. After the block moves, it experiences kinetic friction, which is less than the maximum static friction.
What does it generate?
When surfaces in contact move relative to each other, the friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into thermal energy (that is, it converts work to heat). This property can have dramatic consequences, as illustrated by the use of friction created by rubbing pieces of wood together to start a fire.
