Anita and Nick are playing tug-of-war near a mud puddle. They are each holding on to an end of a taut rope that has a knot exact

ly in the middle. Anita's position is 6.2 meters east of the center of the puddle and Nick's position is 3.0 meters west of the center of the puddle. What is the location of the knot relative to the center of the puddle? Treat east as positive and west as negative.

Answer:

1.6 meters east

Explanation:

Note: Image attached.

As we can see on the data, Anita is further from the puddle than Nick. Additionally, the distances relatives to the center of the puddle allow us to now the lenght of the rope which is the sum of these two, 9.2 meters. We also know that the knot is at the middle of the rope, so it means it is at 4.6 meters of  both Anita and Nick. Now what is next? Well, we now have everything we know. We have the distance between Anita and the puddle and we also know the distance between Anita and the knot (4.6 meters). We just need to subtract the distance to the knot from the distance to the puddle which is equal to 1,6 meters east direction.

Latitude and longitude are the two coordinates that determine a specific point on the Earth’s surface. How does knowing the loca
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

hey sandra! i hope this will help you!

Explanation:

The geographic coordinate system is a reference system that uses the two angular latitude (north or south) and longitude (east or west) coordinates to determine the positions of the land surface points. These two angular coordinates measured from the center of the Earth are from a spherical coordinate system that is aligned with its axis of rotation. These coordinates are usually expressed in sexagesimal degrees:

Latitude measures the angle between any point and the equator. Latitude lines are called parallel and are circles parallel to the equator on the Earth's surface. Latitude is the distance between any point and Ecuador, measured on the meridian that passes through that point.

• All points located on the same parallel have the same latitude.

• Those who are in the north of Ecuador receive the denomination North (N).

• Those who are in the south of Ecuador receive the denomination South (S).

• It is measured from 0º to 90º.

• The latitude of 0º corresponds to Ecuador.

• The North and South poles have latitude 90º N and 90º S respectively.

The length measures the angle along the equator from any point on Earth. It is accepted that Greenwich in London is length 0 in most modern societies. The lines of length are maximum circles that pass through the poles and are called meridians.

• All points located on the same meridian have the same length.

• Those who are east of Meridian Zero receive the designation East (E).

• Those who are west of Meridian Zero receive the denomination West (O).

• It is measured from 0º to 180º.

• The Greenwich meridian corresponds to the length 0º.

By combining these two angles, the position of any point on the Earth's surface can be expressed.

If I have a picosecond laser how would that be expressed in terms of zeptoseconds? In terms of petaseconds?
kolbaska11 [484]
Picosecond = 10 ^ -12 seconds.
Zeptosecond = 10^ -18 seconsds
Petaseonds  =  10^15  seconds

To express Picoseconds into any of other two, you have to divide  10^-12 by the power index of the one in question

1Picosecond :   10^-12  /  10^-18 =    10^ (-12- 18) =  10^ (-12+18)= 10^6  zeptoseconds

1Picosecond :   10^-12  /  10^15 =    10^ (-12-15) =  10^-27  Petaseconds.

1Picosecond = 10^6  zeptoseconds

1Picosecond = 10^-27  Petaseconds

A materials density is the same , no matter how large or small the sample is or what it’s shape is as long as it is solid unifor
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume, i.e. the following equation can be used:

density = m/v

where:

density [kg/m^3]

m = mass [kg]

v = volume [m^3]

If we change the volume of a body by reducing its size, its mass will also decrease proportionally with a density as seen in the equation.

m = density*v

To understand this concept more clearly, let's use the following example:

We know that the density of water is equal to 1000 [kg/m^3], that is, 1 cubic meter of water contains 1000 kilograms of water, using the equation.

1000 = m /1

m = 1000*1 = 1000 [kg]

Now if we have 500 kilograms of water, that would pass with the volume so that the density remains constant.

1000 = 500/v

v = 500/1000

v = 0.5 [m^3]

We can see that the volume of water has halved. Since the mass of water was reduced by half. That is, the relationship between mass and volume is proportional to the density of the material or substance.
