Answer:

The apparent motion of the sun, caused by the rotation of the Earth about its axis, changes the angle at which the direct component of light will strike the Earth. From a fixed location on Earth, the sun appears to move throughout the sky.

mariarad [96]

B) <span> It is practical because a top-loading machine uses much more water than a front-loading machine.

Front-loading washing machines are able to better conserve water by automatically maintaining the same water level throughout the wash, while top-loading washing machines generally begin the cycle by filling up the barrel to a certain point. </span>

What was the voltage on the battery for the #2 series circuit with two light bulbs?A: 4 VB: 18 VC: 4.5 VD: 9 V

Ghella [55]

We are given a series circuit with two light bulbs. In this case, the light bulbs act as resistors in series and the total resistance is:

$R_t=R_1+R_2$

That is the sum of all the resistances in series in the circuit. To determine the voltage we can use Ohm's law:

$V=IR$

Where "R" is the total resistance and "I" is the current in the circuit. Replacing we get:

$V=I(R_1+R_2)$

A cylindrical metal specimen having an original diameter of 11.77 mm and gauge length of 46.1 mm is pulled in tension until frac

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

% reduction in area = 54.26 %

percentage elongation = 43.16 %

Explanation:

a) percentage reduction in area $= \frac{(A_1 - A_2)}{A_1 } * 100$

$A_1 =\pi r^2 = \pi * 5.88^2=108.8 mm2$

$A_2=\pi * 3.98^2= 49.97 mm2$

% reduction in area = $\frac{(108.8 - 49.97)}{108.8} * 100 = 54.26 %$

b)percentage elongation $= \frac{(66 - 46.1)}{46.1} *100 = 43.16 %$

Weight is used most often for measuring____________________ whereas volume is used most often for measuring_____________________

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Weight is used most often for measuring solid whereas volume is used most often for measuring liquid.

Explanation:

Weight is used most often for measuring solid, because solids have definite shape. Weight is usually expressed in Newton (N) because it is a function of mass and gravity. ( weight = mass x gravity).

Whereas volume is used most often for measuring liquid, usually expressed in cubic meter (m³) because liquids have no definite shape, rather they occupy the volume of their container.

flipper (the dolphin) is out in the open ocean hunting tuna avec. he emits his pulse at 22khz and .42 seconds later he hears it

marusya05 [52]

First we need to find the speed of the dolphin sound wave in the water. We can use the following relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave:
$v=\lambda f$
where
v is the wave speed
$\lambda$ its wavelength
f its frequency
Using $\lambda = 2 cm = 0.02 m$ and $f=22 kHz = 22000 Hz$ , we get
$v=(0.02 m)(22000 Hz)=440 m/s$

We know that the dolphin sound wave takes t=0.42 s to travel to the tuna and back to the dolphin. If we call L the distance between the tuna and the dolphin, the sound wave covers a distance of S=2 L in a time t=0.42 s, so we can write the basic relationship between space, time and velocity for a uniform motion as:
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{2L}{t}$
and since we know both v and t, we can find the distance L between the dolphin and the tuna:
$L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(440 m/s)(0.42 s)}{2}=92.4 m$
