How did people studying lunar eclipses learn that Earth is round?

Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth

Clay Matthews, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, can reach a speed of 10.0 m/s. At the start of a play, Matthews runs down
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

a)   D_ total = 18.54 m,   b)        v = 6.55 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we must find the displacement of the player.

a) Let's start with the initial displacement, d = 8 m at a 45º angle, use trigonometry to find the components

           sin 45 = y₁ / d

           cos 45 = x₁ / d

           y₁ = d sin 45

           x₁ = d sin 45

           y₁ = 8 sin 45 = 5,657 m

           x₁ = 8 cos 45 = 5,657 m

The second offset is d₂ = 12m at 90 of the 50 yard

            y₂ = 12 m

            x₂ = 0

total displacement

          y_total = y₁ + y₂

          y_total = 5,657 + 12

          y_total = 17,657 m

          x_total = x₁ + x₂

          x_total = 5,657 + 0

          x_total = 5,657 m

          D_total =   17.657 i^+ 5.657 j^  m

          D_total = Ra (17.657 2 + 5.657 2)

          D_ total = 18.54 m

b) the average speed is requested, which is the offset carried out in the time used

           v = Δx /Δt

the distance traveled using the pythagorean theorem is

         r = √ (d1² + d2²)

          r = √ (8² + 12²)

          r = 14.42 m

The time used for this shredding is

         t = t1 + t2

         t = 1 + 1.2

         t = 2.2 s

let's calculate the average speed

         v = 14.42 / 2.2

         v = 6.55 m / s

Which term describes speed in a certain direction?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

A. Velocity

Explanation:

Velocity is vector quantity thus has both magnitude and direction. It describes not only the speed but also the direction. Speed is scalar quantity so describes only speed but not direction. Energy has nothing to do with speed, acceleration describes change in velocity in a direction over time
