<u>Answer:</u>
<em>A water strider can walk along the surface of earth due to the surface tension of water.
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Fluids have a <em>tendency to shrink to minimum possible surface area</em> and this is called surface tension. It usually occurs due to the greater force of cohesion between molecules of same substance when compared to adhesive force between molecules of different substances. Objects with greater densities can float along water surface due to the <em>role played by surface tension.
</em>
When insects walk along the water surface they are pulled down due to gravity. But the force of attraction between the legs of the insect and water molecules is minimal. Thus the surface tension would always tend to maintain the <em>flatness of water overcoming</em> the push by the legs of the strider.
When the insect’s weight pulls it down , the surface tension pushes it upwards overcoming this force of gravity. This is how<em> water striders move along the surface of water. </em>
Multiply (Saturn radii) by (60,268) to get the distance in kilometers.
(This is the radius of the planet, not it's orbit.)
Answer:
1199 miles
Explanation:
1 hour 30 minutes = 1 + 30/60 = 1.5 hours
2 hours 15 minutes = 2 + 15/60 = 2.25 hours
The distance she flew in the 1st segment is:
1.5*345 = 517.5 miles
The distance she flew in the 2nd segment is:
2.25 * 345 = 776.25 miles
Since the 2nd segment is 45 degree with respect to the 1st segment, this means that she has flown
776.25 * cos(45) = 549 miles in-line with the 1st segment and
776.25* sin(45) = 549 miles perpendicular to the 1st segment:
So the distance from the end to her starting position is

Expand each vector into their component forms:

Similarly,


Then assuming the resultant vector
is the sum of these three vectors, we have


and so
has magnitude

and direction
such that
