Answer:

The tangential speed at Livermore is approximately 284.001 meters per second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the Earth rotates at constant speed, the tangential speed (v), measured in meters per second, at Livermore (37.6819º N, 121º W) is determined by the following expression:

v = \left(\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}\right)\cdot R \cdot \sin \phi (1)

Where:

\Delta t - Rotation time, measured in seconds.

R - Radius of the Earth, measured in meters.

\phi - Latitude of the city above the Equator, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that \Delta t = 86160\,s, R = 6.371\times 10^{6}\,m and \phi = 37.6819^{\circ}, then the tangential speed at Livermore is:

v = \left(\frac{2\pi}{86160\,s} \right)\cdot (6.371\times 10^{6}\,m)\cdot \sin 37.6819^{\circ}

v\approx 284.001\,\frac{m}{s}

The tangential speed at Livermore is approximately 284.001 meters per second.

Properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance
Zolol [24]

The complete statement is "chemical properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance".


It states a key concept in chemistry.


A chemical property is the ability of a substance, element or compound, to <em>transform</em> into other substances either <em>by decomposing or by combining</em> with one or more substances.


This transformation is defined as chemical reaction.


During chemical reactions some chemical bonds  are broken and others are formed leading to the formation of one or more different substances called products.


Some examples of chemical properties are: reactivity with oxygen, reactivity with water, acidity, basicity, oxidation, reduction. The only way to tell if a substance has certain chemical property is by letting it react and so observe the change of the original substance into one or more different substances.

1. . The maximum current output of a 60 Ω circuit is 11 A. What is the rms voltage of the circuit?
natta225 [31]

Answer:In a DC circuit, the power consumed is simply the product of the DC voltage times the DC current, given in watts.for AC circuits with reactive components we have to calculate the consumed power differently.

a 1/4 watt resistor or a 20 watt amplifier.

Calculate the propellant mass required to launch a 2000 kg spacecraft from a 180 km circular orbit on a Hohmann transfer traject
Finger [1]

Answer:

t = 12,105.96 sec

Explanation:

Given data:

weight of spacecraft is 2000 kg

circular orbit distance to saturn = 180 km

specific impulse = 300 sec

saturn orbit around the sun R_2 = 1.43 *10^9 km

earth orbit around the sun R_1= 149.6 * 10^ 6 km

time required for the mission is given as t

t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\mu_sun}} [\frac{1}{2}(R_1 + R_2)]^{3/2}

where

\mu_{sun} is gravitational parameter of sun =  1.32712 x 10^20 m^3 s^2.t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{ 1.32712 x 10^{20}}} [\frac{1}{2}(149.6 * 10^ 6 +1.43 *10^9 )]^{3/2}

t = 12,105.96 sec

What do you mean by population size explain​
torisob [31]
Population size is the actual number of individuals in a population. Population density is a measurement of population size per unit area, i.e., population size divided by total land area. Abundance refers to the relative representation of a species in a particular ecosystem.
