Solution: The correct order is: C, A, B

The statement of the problem:

How can we prove Earth is round and calculate its circumference?

Hypotheis:

If the sun casts shadows at different angles at the same time of day in different places, we can determine how much Earth curves.

If the Earth was flat, the angle measured at different places at the same time of the day would be same.

Observation:

In Syene, the sun's rays are vertical at noon. At the same time in Alexandria, the rays are 7.2 degrees from the vertical.

Two 110 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car Z at –10 m/s when t
salantis [7]

Explanation:

Mass of bumper cars, m_1=m_2=110\ kg

Initial speed of car A, u_1=8\ m/s

Initial speed of car Z, u_2=-10\ m/s

Final speed of car A after the collision, v_1=-10\ m/s

We need to find the velocity of car Z after the collision. Let it is equal to v_2. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

110\times 8+110\times (-10)=110\times (-10)+110v_2

v_2=\dfrac{-1320}{110}\ m/s

v_2=-12\ m/s

So, the velocity of car Z after the collision is (-12 m/s). Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose a 2.0kg bird is flying at a speed of of 1m/s. It’s kinetic energy would be what?
Ganezh [65]

As we know that the formula of kinetic energy will be

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

now here we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 1 m/s

so from the above equation we have

KE = \frac{1}{2}(2)(1^2)

KE = 1 J

What is the available energy content, in joules, of a battery that operates a 2.00-W electric clock for 18 months
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

93312000 Joules

Explanation:

Energy can be explained as the capacity for doing work. And can be expressed as

E= pt....................eqn(1)

Where

E= Energy in Joules

P= power in Watt= 2.00W

t= time in seconds

Time= 18 months, which can be converted to "seconds" as;

18 months = [ 18 monthsx 30 days x 24 hours x 60 min x 60 sec] = 46656000

Then

time= 46656000 seconds

Power=2 watt

If we substitute into equation (1) we have

Energy = 2 watt × 46656000 seconds

Energy= 93312000 Joules

Pls answer need help
igomit [66]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Find the NET forces on the objects

A  20==>

B    0

C  30==>

D  15==>    

So biggest accel = C because it has the most force acting on it

 next is A because it has the next biggest force

    next is  D        then    B ...B has no net force acting on it
