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.

An object has a mass of 0.250 kg. What is the gravitational force of on the object by the earth?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

2.4525 N

Explanation:

The earths gravity is 9.81 N/Kg

And so to work this out you would multiply 9.81 by 0.250 which equals to 2.4525N

Explanation:

Assuming constant speed:

Distance = speed × time

17.8 m = (5.3 m/s) t

t = 3.36 s

Examine the scenario.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.

Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:

distance: 40 km

speed: 40 km/h

Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.

Then, the following option:

velocity: 5 km/h north

is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.

So, the correct choice is

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 40 km/h is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time

Substituting,

a=\frac{40 km/h-0}{5 s}=8 km/h/s

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).
