<span>NASA and the Mad Science Group of Montreal, Canada, have teamed in an effort to spark the imagination of children, encouraging more youth to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math. The two organizations recently signed a Space Act Agreement, officially launching the development of the Academy of Future Space Explorers.</span>
Base on my research, as of 2004 The U.S. devours about 20 million barrels of oil a day, according to the CIA. But base on Wikipedia, it says that a normal large tanker can only carry around 2 million barrels of oil. So to supply the U.S with this oil per day, it needs 10 normal large oil tankers.
Answer:
x = 727.5 km
Explanation:
With the conditions given using trigonometry, we can find the tangent
tan θ = CO / CA
With CO the opposite leg and CE is the adjacent leg which is the distance from the Tierral to Sun
D =150 10⁶ km (1000m / 1 km)
D = 150 10⁹ m.
We must take the given angle to radians.
1º = 3600 arc s
π rad = 180º
θ = 1 arc s (1º / 3600 s arc) (pi rad / 180º) =
θ = 4.85 10⁻⁶ rad
That angle is extremely small, so we can approximate the tangent to the angle
θ = x / D
x = θ D
x = 4.85 10-6 150 109
x = 727.5 103 m
x = 727.5 km
