How does SCOTUS view information obtained by private citizens and subsequently shared with law enforcement?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

as a legal search

Explanation:

In the specific case, there was a trespass on private property through the installation of a global positioning system (GPS) to gather sensitive information about the citizen. This is considered a legal search and is not appropriate to conduct such an investigation without proper approval from the relevant authority.

Which action can be explained by physics?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Actions that underlie mathematical rules, patterns or probability distributions.

For example how fast something falls at any given point or time.

More complex actions, such as human decision making in single individuals would be way too complicated to describe in physical terms.

But note that there can be physical models of such things as traffic when we can assume statistical knowledge of behavior.

Also physical models are used to plan such things as emergency exits in big stadiums, because many thousands of people can be described as particles flowing under a given pressure.

Every time we can gain good statistical knowledge and can therefore see patterns and rules in action, we can build theoretical models to make predictions and simulations (and games btw)

Since it's fair to say that mathematics is the science of patterns, it is plausible that physical descriptions often come in mathematical formulations, so that it can be understand as an efficient language of physics.

Neighboring disciplines like chemistry relay on physical theories to build on them,and then add shortcuts to fit their needs and interests, generating an own language for their field of study. But physicists may refer to them as anadd-on to physics.

Physics can basically explain all actions wich you can express in numbers.

But note that on a fundamental level physics describes 'how' things work, not necessarily 'why' they do it this way. The source of the basic and most fundamental physical constants and rules remains a mystery till this day.But of course there are theories on that as well, wich mostly can neither be proved or falsified.

The text is my own work and based of my general knowledge and quintessence of lectures on physics and other fields I attended.

(I would really appreciate the brainliest)

Jupiter's semimajor axis is 7.78×1011 m. The mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030 kg. (a) What is the period of Jupiter's orbit in secon
dedylja [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Semi major axis of the Jupiter, a=7.78\times 10^{11}\ m

Mass of the sun, M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg

(a) Let T is the period of Jupiter's orbit. It is given by :

T^2\propto a^3

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}\times (7.78\times 10^{11})^3

T=3.74\times 10^8\ s

(b) We know that,

1\ year=3.154\times 10^7\ s

or

1\ s=3.171\times 10^{-8}\ year

3.74\times 10^8\ s={3.171\times 10^{-8}}\times {3.74\times 10^8}

T = 11.859 earth years

Hence, this is the required solution.

kicyunya [14]
<span>If the temperature increases in a sample of gas at constant volume, then its pressure increases. The increase in temperature makes the molecule hit the walls of the container faster. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "c". I hope the answer helps you.</span>
