Answer:

360°

Explanation:

Earth rotation can be defined as the amount of time taken by planet earth to complete its spinning movement on its axis.

This ultimately implies that, the rotation of earth refers to the time taken by earth to rotate once on its axis. One spinning movement of the earth on its axis takes approximately 24 hours to complete with respect to the Sun. Therefore, in a 24 hour period, the earth rotates 360 degrees about its axis and as such in an hour it rotates 15 degrees to create a 24-hours time zones.

When the earth's equatorial plane intersect with the surface of a celestial sphere, it results in the formation of a great circle which divides or cuts the earth into two equal halves known as celestial equator. This great circle divides the earth into a circumference having two (2) equal halves.

Hence, a circle surrounding the earth at the equator would consist of 360 “degrees” of angular measurement. Thus, giving rise to latitude (zones of latitude) which is north or south of the equator that includes equatorial, low latitude, mid latitude, tropical, subtropical and polar regions.

Write a lottery program that will ask the user if they would like to pick 5 numbers (1-30) or if they would like to choose EZ Pi
Llana [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The following code is written in Python and creates arrays for the user's numbers and the next chance numbers, it also creates a cost variable and a did_you_win variable. The function takes in the winning numbers as an array parameter. It asks all the necessary questions to generate data for all the variables and then compares the user's numbers to the winning numbers in order to detect if the user has won. Finally, it prints all the necessary information.

import random

def lottery(winning_numbers):

   user_numbers = []

   next_chance_drawing = []

   cost = 0

   did_you_win = "No"

   #print("Would you like to choose your own 5 numbers? Y or N")

   answer = input("Would you like to choose your own 5 numbers? Y or N: ")

   if answer.capitalize() == "Y":

       for x in range(5):

           user_numbers.append(input("Enter number " + str(x+1) + ": "))

   else:

       for x in range(5):

           user_numbers.append(random.randint(0,31))

           cost += 1

   next_chance = input("Would you like to enter a Next Chance drawing for $1.00? Y or N: ")

   if next_chance.capitalize() == "Y":

       for x in range(4):

           next_chance_drawing.append(random.randint(0, 31))

           cost += 1

           

   if user_numbers == winning_numbers or next_chance_drawing == winning_numbers:

       did_you_win = "Yes"

   print("User Numbers: " + str(user_numbers))

   print("Next Chance Numbers: " + str(next_chance_drawing))

   print("Cost: $" + str(cost))

   print("Did you win: " + did_you_win)

How do I turn of the noise canceling feature on my beats studio wireless?
zysi [14]
You press and hold the "b" button on your left earmuff, but you have to hold it down as long as you want ANC (Automatic Noise Cancelling) to be turned off, in other words, as soon as you release the button, ANC will be turned back on. Unfortunately, this will also mute your music.

In this exercise we look at memory locality properties of matrix computation. Th e following code is written in C, where element
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

temporal locality can be defined as: when a particular memory  is referenced or accessed several times  within a specific period of time. In the question, i think the variable that exhibit temporal locality are I, J and 0(all the variable). This is because the variable J and 0 are accessed several times within the loop. I would not have been part of it, but in the A[I][J]=B[I][0]+A[J][I], the variable "I" is also accessed in the addition. this is why it is part of the temporal locality.
