Answer:

The speed of the F-4 Phantom upon impact is approximately 214.92 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameter of the motion of the F-4 Phantom jet aircraft are;

The mass of the F-4 phantom rocket, m₁ = 19,100 kg

The mass of the retaining wall, m₂ = 469,000 kg

The velocity of the combined mass of the wall and the F-4 after collision, v₃ = 8.41 m/s

The retainment wall was initially at rest, therefore, v₂ = 0 m/s

Let 'v₁', represent the speed of the F-4 Phantom upon impact

By the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

m₁·v₁ + m₁·v₂ = m₁·v₃ + m₂·v₃ = (m₁ + m₂)·v₃

Plugging in the values, we have;

19,100 × v₁ + 469,000 × 0  = (19,100 + 469,000) × 8.41

∴ v₁ = (19,100 + 469,000) × 8.41/(19,100) = 214.917329843

v₁ ≈ 214.92

The speed of the F-4 Phantom upon impact, v₁ ≈ 214.92 m/s.

Barnard’s Star is a red dwarf. It is located 5.9 light years from Earth. (One light year is the same as 9.46 trillion kilometers
mote1985 [20]
A star is located 5.9 light years from Earth.
We know that : 1 light year = 9.46  trillion kilometers.
We will calculate the distance in trillion kilometers multiplying the number of light years by 9.46:
5.9 * 9.46 = 55.814
Answer: The distance is 55.814 trillion km.

Identify the palindromic base sequence in the DNA donor molecule shown.
Airida [17]

Explanation:

Since a double helix is formed by two paired antiparallel strands of nucleotides that run in opposite directions, and the nucleotides always pair in the same way (adenine (A) with thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) in RNA; cytosine (C) with guanine (G)), a (single-stranded) nucleotide sequence is said to be a palindrome

What is the approximate size of the Earth's magnetic field? (dont ask me to specify thats what the question is and im as confuse
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The Earth's magnetic field intensity is roughly between 25,000 - 65,000 nT (.25 -.65 gauss).

Explanation:

<em>To measure the Earth's magnetism in any place, we must measure the direction and intensity of the field. The Earth's magnetic field is described by seven parameters. These are declination (D), inclination (I), horizontal intensity (H), the north (X), and east (Y) components of the horizontal intensity, vertical intensity (Z), and total intensity (F). The parameters describing the direction of the magnetic field are declination (D) and inclination (I). D and I are measured in units of degrees, positive east for D and positive down for me. The intensity of the total field (F) is described by the horizontal component (H), vertical component (Z), and the north (X) and east (Y) components of the horizontal intensity. These components may be measured in units of gauss but are generally reported in nanoTesla (1nT * 100,000 = 1 gauss). </em><em>The Earth's magnetic field intensity is roughly between 25,000 - 65,000 nT (.25 - .65 gauss). </em><em>Magnetic declination is the angle between magnetic north and true north. D is considered positive when the angle measured is east of true north and negative when west.  The magnetic inclination is the angle between the horizontal plane and the total field vector, measured positive into Earth. In older literature, the term “magnetic elements” is often referred to as D, I, and H.</em>
