Answer:

B

Explanation:

Doldrums are located some 5 degrees away from north while horse latitude is located some thirty degrees away from north latitude and by same degrees from the southern hemisphere. Polar eastariles are cold winds blowing across the Polar Regions and jet stream is fast blowing winds.

Horse latitude is silent winds and the region has high pressure and very little precipitation.

Hence, option B is correct

A turtle and a rabbit are in a 150 meter race. The rabbit decides to give the turtle a 1 minute head start. The turtle moves at

yan [13]

Answer:

a) $s_{T} = 30\,m$ , b) $t = 5\,min$ , c) $\Delta t = 6.667\,s$ , d) $\Delta s_{R} = 33.333\,m$ , e) $t' = 11.667\,s$ , f) The rabbit won the race.

Explanation:

a) As turtle moves at constant speed, its position is determined by the following formula:

$s_{T} = v_{T}\cdot t$

Where:

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$v_{T}$ - Velocity of the turtle, measured in meters per second.

$s_{T}$ - Position of the turtle, measured in meters.

Then, the position of the turtle when the rabbit starts to run is:

$s_{T} = \left(0.5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (60\,s)$

$s_{T} = 30\,m$

The position of the turtle when the rabbit starts to run is 30 meters.

b) The time needed for the turtle to finish the race is:

$t = \frac{s_{T}}{v_{T}}$

$t = \frac{150\,m}{0.5\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$t = 300\,s$

$t = 5\,min$

The time needed for the turtle to finish the race is 5 minutes.

c) As rabbit experiments a constant acceleration until maximum velocity is reached and moves at constant speed afterwards, the time required to reach such speed is:

$v_{R} = v_{o,R} + a_{R}\cdot \Delta t$

Where:

$v_{R}$ - Final velocity of the rabbit, measured in meters per second.

$v_{o,R}$ - Initial velocity of the rabbit, measured in meters per second.

$a_{R}$ - Acceleration of the rabbit, measured in $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

$\Delta t$ - Running time, measured in second.

$\Delta t = \frac{v_{R}-v_{o,R}}{a_{R}}$

$\Delta t = \frac{10\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s}}{1.50\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$\Delta t = 6.667\,s$

The time taken by the rabbit to reach maximum speed is 6.667 s.

d) On the other hand, the position reached by the rabbit when maximum speed is reached is determined by the following equation of motion:

$v_{R}^{2} = v_{o,R}^{2} + 2\cdot a_{R}\cdot \Delta s_{R}$

$\Delta s_{R} = \frac{v_{R}^{2}-v_{o,R}^{2}}{2\cdot a_{R}}$

$\Delta s_{R} = \frac{v_{R}^{2}-v_{o,R}^{2}}{2\cdot a_{R}}$

Where $\Delta s_{R}$ is the travelled distance of the rabbit from rest to maximum speed.

$\Delta s_{R} = \frac{\left(10\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(1.50\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$\Delta s_{R} = 33.333\,m$

The distance travelled by the rabbit from rest to maximum speed is 33.333 meters.

e) The time required for the rabbit to finish the race can be determined by the following expression:

$t' = \frac{\Delta s_{R}}{v_{R}}$

$t' = \frac{150\,m-33.333\,m}{10\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$t' = 11.667\,s$

The time required for the rabbit from rest to maximum speed is 11.667 seconds.

f) The animal with the lowest time wins the race. Now, each running time is determined:

Turtle:

$t_{T} = 300\,s$

Rabbit:

$t_{R} = 60\,s + 6.667\,s + 11.667\,s$

$t_{R} = 78.334\,s$

The rabbit won the race as $t_{R} < t_{T}$ .

An object is 70 um long and 47.66um wide. how long and wide is the object in km?

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

length = 7*10^(-8)km

width = 4.666*10^(-8) km

Explanation:

We know that:

1 μm = 1*10^(-6) m

and

1km = 1*10^3 m

or

1m = 1*10^(-3) km

if we replace the meter in the first equation, we get:

1 μm = 1*10^(-6)*1*10^(-3) km

1 μm = 1*10^(-6 - 3)km

1 μm = 1*10^(-9)km

Now with this relationship we can transform our measures:

Length: 70 μm is 70 times 1*10^(-9)km, or:

L = 70*1*10^(-9)km = 7*10^(-8)km

And for width, we have 47.66um, this is 46.66 times 1*10^(-9)km, or:

W = 46.66*1*10^(-9)km = 4.666*10^(-8) km

1. Explique con sus palabras por qué el ser humano al nacer es un organismo inacabado, y que influencia ejercen en él las caract

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Todo ser humano, al nacer, es un organismo inacabado en términos tanto físicos como psicoemocionales. Es decir, el humano, al nacer, lo hace sin la posibilidad de autosustentarse en el futuro inmediato: no puede caminar, expresarse, tener pensamiento analítico ni la capacidad de resolver las problemáticas que les afectan.

Ello hace que el humano requiera para su desarrollo de un acompañamiento absoluto por parte de su madre en el período inicial de su vida, tanto para alimentarlo como para transmitirle las nociones básicas de supervivencia; y posteriormente requiera de un entorno social idóneo que le permita desarrollarse emocionalmente para poder vivir normalmente en sociedad.

Además, respecto de sus características físicas, necesita también aprender a caminar, movilizarse y demás atributos físicos que le garanticen un normal desarrollo motor, con lo cual es fundamental que dicha enseñanza provenga también del entorno que lo rodea.

Explain the purpose of pumping while running through a half pipe

scoray [572]

<span>The purpose of pumping is to increase overall velocity. The person drops down into a crouch while traversing the more-or-less flat bottom of the U-shaped pipe or bowl. Then, as he enters the sloped part of the ramp or bowl, called the transition, he straightens his legs and rises up. By raising his center of mass just at the beginning of the arc, the person gains energy and thereby increases his speed.</span>

What is electromagnetic indiction

lora16 [44]

Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field. Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwell mathematically described it as Faraday's law of induction.
