Answer:

Hmmm...

This is a bit tricky

Ok...

Negative Velocity means you're Moving in the Opposite direction....

Negative Acceleration (deceleration) means you're slowing down.

Deceleration would mean slowing down if you were Moving with a Positive velocity.

But In this case...

You're Moving with negative velocity and Negative acceleration...

This simply means that the acceleration and velocity vector are in the same direction....

Its means that...

"YOU'RE SPEEDING UP"

Just that you're doing it in the opposite direction.

Hope this helps.

Black holes are highly condensed remnants of stars. Some black holes, together with a normal star, form binary systems. In such
borishaifa [10]

\lambda_\text{max} = 2.63\times 10^{-9}\;\text{m}.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The peak emission wavelength of an object depends on its absolute temperature.

\lambda_\text{max} = \dfrac{2.90\times 10^{-3}}{T},

where

  • \lambda_\text{max} is the wavelength in meters where the emission is the strongest.
  • T is the temperature of the object in degrees Kelvins.

For the gas falling into the black hole,

T = 1.10\times 10^{6}\;\text{K}.

Apply the formula:

\lambda_\text{max} = \dfrac{2.90\times 10^{-3}}{T} = \dfrac{2.90\times 10^{-3}}{1.10\times 10^{6}} = 2.64\times 10^{-9}\;\text{m} = 2.64 \;\text{nm}.

The question mentioned that \lambda_\text{max} is in the X-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the wavelength of X-rays range from 10^{-8}\;\text{m}=10\;\text{nm} to 10^{-10}\;\text{m} = 0.1\;\text{nm}, which indeed includes 2.64\times 10^{-9}\;\text{m} = 2.64 \;\text{nm}.

A Texas rancher wants to fence off his four-sided plot of flat land. He measures the first three sides, shown as A, B, and C in
xz_007 [3.2K]
The answer:
the full question is as follow:
 <span>A Texas rancher wants to fence off his four-sided plot of flat land. He measures the first three sides, shown as A, B, and C in Figure below , where A = 4.90 km and θC = 15°. He then correctly calculates the length and orientation of the fourth side D. What is the magnitude and direction of vector D? 

As shown in the figure, 
A + B + C + D = 0, so to find the </span>magnitude and direction of vector D, we should follow the following method:
 D = 0 - (A + B + C) , 
let  W = - (A + B + C), so the magnitude and direction of vector D is the same of the vector W characteristics

Magnitude
 A + B + C = <span> (4.90cos7.5 - 2.48sin16 - 3.02cos15)I</span>
<span>+ (-4.9sin7.5 + 2.48cos16 + 3.02sin15)J
</span>= 1.25I +2.53J
the magnitude of W= abs value of (A + B + C) = sqrt (1.25² + 2.53²)
= 2.82
 
the direction of D can be found by using Dx and Dy value
we know that     tan<span>θo = Dx / Dy = 1.25 / 2.53 =0.49
</span>tanθo =0.49 it implies θo = arctan 0.49 = 26.02°

direction is 26.02°

Creates an image that appears upside down behind the focal point
zheka24 [161]
An image that appears upside down behind the focal point is an image that is reflected on a concave mirror. Mirrors reflect different kinds of images based on the placement of an object that is reflected towards it. There are two kinds of mirrors, concave and a convex mirrors, the latter makes objects seem smaller and farther than where it is exactly.

Pelvic girdle

In human anatomy, the pelvis is a complex of bones that connects the trunk and the legs, supports and balances the trunk, and houses and supports the intestines, the urinary bladder, and the internal organ. It is sometimes referred to as the bony pelvis or the pelvic girdle.
One is located on the left side of the body and the other is located on the right. They come together to make the pelvic girdle, a portion of the pelvis. The hip bones are attached to the upper portion of the skeleton at the sacrum.
The pelvic girdle's main function is to support the upper body's weight while seated and transfer that weight to the lower limbs while standing. For the muscles in the trunk and lower limbs, it functions as attachment point.
