Answer:

The planet will move from east to west for a couple of months in the night sky.

Explanation:

Retrograde motion is an optical effect due to the fact that Earth rotates more quickly than the planet that apparently has a retrograde motion in the sky.

For example, Saturn has a slower speed in its orbit around the Sun. That means that the Earth will pass it, and that will give the effect that the planet is moving backward. That same scenario can be seen between two cars on a highway, the faster car will see the slower car when it passes as it is moving for a short fragment of time in backward.

Remember that the planets in the night sky move from west to east, in the case of a planet with retrograde motion, it will move from east to west for a couple of months.

Which of the following describes the relationship of conductance to a conductor?

Brilliant_brown [7]

<span>The answer is The conductance of a conductor is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the conductor.</span> <span>Conductance is directly related to the ease offered by any material to the passage of electric current. Conductance is the opposite of resistance. The higher the conductance, the lower the resistance and vice versa, the greater the resistance, the less conductance, so both are inversely proportional</span>

Answer:

Explanation: Other Names for DNA

The threads of double helix DNA are called chromosomes, so you'll often see the two terms used interchangeably. These are also referred to as genes, genetic material or genetic code. DNA is also sometimes called nucleic acid, short for deoxyribonucleic acid.

Ballistic data obtained on a firing range show that aerodynamic drag reduces the speed of a .44 magnum revolver bullet from 250

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

0.363999909622

Explanation:

F = Force

m = Mass = 15.6 g

C = Drag coefficient

ρ = Density of air = 1.21 kg/m³

A = Surface area = $\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

v = Terminal velocity = $v=210\ m/s$

s = Displacement = 150 m

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

Force is given by

F = ma

$F=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow ma=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow C=2\times m\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\times\dfrac{1}{\rho Av^2}\\\Rightarrow C=2\times15.6\times 10^{-3}\dfrac{210^2-250^2}{2\times 150}\times\dfrac{1}{1.21\times\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (11.2\times 10^{-3})^2(210)^2}\\\Rightarrow C=-0.363999909622$

The drag coefficient is 0.363999909622 (ignoring negative sign)
