slader A jet is circling an airport control tower at a distance of 15.9 km. An observer in the tower watches the jet cross in fr

ont of the moon. As seen from the tower, the moon subtends an angle of 8.74x10-3 radians. Find the distance traveled (in meters) by the jet as the observer watches the nose of the jet cross from one side of the moon to the other.

Answer:

y = 138.96 m

Explanation:

The angle subtended by the moon is the mean of the angle of the arc between the two most extreme points of the moon, we can see that the angle is very small, so we can approximate this arc to a straight line and then use the trigonometric relationships

         sin θ = y / L

where L = 15.9 10³ m and θ = 8.74 10⁻³ rad

          y = L sin θ

          y = 15.9 10³ sin (8.74 10⁻³)

         y = 15.9 10³    0.0087399

         y = 138.96 m

What happens too baking soda when you heat it up?

Salutations!

What happens to baking soda when you heat it up!

When you heat up baking soda, it loses carbon dioxide which tends to crest bubbles. This is what makes it quite light and fluffy.

Hope I helped :D

If you want to make a strong battery, should you pair two metals with high electron affinities, low electron affinities, or a mi
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Mix

Explanation:

A battery has two electrodes at both of its end terminals namely the anode which is the negatively charged electrode and the anode which is the positively charged electrode.

Now, Electrons usually travel through the battery circuit from the anode to the cathode, and this motion of travel is the propelling force that makes electricity flow through the circuit.

Now, the anode will need to have a low electron affinity because it needs to easily release electrons during discharge while the cathode needs to have a high electron affinity because it normally readily accept electrons during discharge.

Thus, for a battery to be strong, it is a combination of high electron affinity and low electron affinity.

On the surface of the earth, weight is calculated by:
sdas [7]

On the surface of the earth, weight is calculated by multiplying mass and gravity.

 

<span>Because we know the radius of the Earth, we can use the Law of Universal Gravitation to calculate the mass of the Earth in terms of the gravitational force on an object (its weight) at the Earth's surface, using the radius of the Earth as the distance. We also need the Constant of Proportionality in the Law of Universal Gravitation, G. This value was experimentally determined by Henry Cavendish in the 18th century to be the extemely small force of 6.67 x 10</span>-11 Newtons between two objects weighing one kilogram each and separated by one meter. Cavendish determined this constant by accurately measuring the horizontal force between metal spheres in an experiment sometimes referred to as "weighing the earth."

 

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the third choice or letter C. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
