ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Timezones exist because of rotation and revolution

Explanation:

As Earth rotates on its axis, it moves about 15 degrees every 60 minutes. After 24 hours, it has completed a full rotation of 360 degrees. The scientists used this information to divide the planet into 24 sections or time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude wide.

Invader Zim’s spaceship is sitting at rest in outer space. The ship then accelerates at a uniform rate of 12 m/s2 for 10 seconds
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

120 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 12 m/s²

t = 10 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (12 m/s²) (10 s) + 0 m/s

v = 120 m/s

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Explanation:

On both sides of the film , the mediums have lower refractive index.

for interfering pattern from above , for constructive interference of reflected wave from both sides of the film , the condition is

2μt = ( 2n +1 ) λ / 2

μ is refractive index of film ,t is thickness of film λ is wavelength of light

n is order of fringe

for minimum thickness

n = 0

2μt =  λ / 2

t =  λ / 4μ

= 670 / 1.75 x 4

= 95.71 nm .
