Opportunity cost

Opportunity cost is the benefit, profit or value that could have been received or obtained but instead given up in favor of another alternative or course of action. Every situation has several alternatives and every resource has several alternative uses as well. Thus, every decision comes with it an opportunity cost.

Which ocean zone has the lowest water pressure?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

I think the correct answer would be the last option. The ocean zone which has the lowest water pressure would be the uppermost zone which is the Epipelagic zone. This zone is also called as the euphotic zone or the sunlit zone. It is the region which receives the most sunlight in order to allow photosynthesis.

Why is it important to use scientific notation when talking about our solar system and galaxies?

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The main purpose for converting numbers into scientific notation is to make calculations with surpisingly large or small numbers less complicated. Since zeros are not used to place the decimal point, all of the digits in a number in scientific notation are meaningful and easier to read. Hope this helps!

What is the difference between a theory and a scientific law?

Westkost [7]

Scientific laws and theories have different jobs to do. A scientific law predicts the results of certain initial conditions. ... In contrast, a theory tries to provide the most logical explanation about why things happen as they do.

A ball is equipped with a speedometer and launched straight upward. The speedometer reading four seconds after launch is shown a

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Question 1: 1 s after the motion starts

Question 2: 0 (just when the motion starts)

Explanation:

You will need to work with approximates values because the precision of the speedometers is low and you are requested to find approximate times.

1. From the speedometer shown at the right.

You can obtain how long the ball has been falling from the highest altitute it reached using the speed of 10 m/s shown by the speedometer at the right.

Free fall equation: Vf = Vo - gt

Vo = 0 ⇒ Vf = gt ⇒ t = Vf / g

For this problem, I recommend to work with a rough estimate of g: g = 10 m/s² ( I will tell you why soon)/

t = [10 m/s] / [10 m/s²] = 1 s

That is the time falling. Since four seconds after launch have elapsed, the upward time was 3 seconds. This will let you to calculate the launching speed.

2. Time when the speedometer displays a reading of 20 m/s

First, calculate the launching speed:

Vf = Vo - gt

Since the ball was 3 seconds going upward and the speed at the maximum altitude is 0 you get:

0 = Vo - gt

Vo = gt = 10 m/s² × 3 s = 30 m/s

Now, use the initial velocity to calculate when the ball is going upward with the speedometer reading is 20 m/s

20 m/s = 30 m/s - 10 m/s² × t

t = [ 30 m/s - 20 m/s] / [10 m/s²] = 1 s

Thus, the first answer is t = 1 s.

3. Time when the speedometer displays a reading of 30 m/s

This is the same speec estimated for the launching: 30 m/s.

So, this reading corresponds to the moment when the ball was launched.

Thus time is 0, i.e. it is the same instant of the launch.

If you had worked with g = 9.80 m/s², the time had been negative. This is due to the precision of the instruments.

That is why I recommended to work with g = 10 m/s².
