15+3=18km/hour
Think about it like this. The boat is going 15 faster than the river, and the river is going 3 faster than the bank, so the boat is going 18 faster than the river bank

Why is the solar system commonly represented as a scale model?
topjm [15]
The actual size of the Solar system is too big to show without making a much smaller model. If someone wants to see the orientation of the planets a model has to be made so we can see it without flying out too space.

A model engine accelerated forward from rest along a straight track at 10.0 m/s2 for 3.0 seconds. It then accelerates coward at
Mrac [35]

Answer:

17.2 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 10.0 m/s²

t₁ = 3.0 s

a₂ = 16 m/s²

t₂ = 5.0 s

a₃ = -12 m/s²

v₃ = 0 m/s

Find: t

First, find v₁:

v₁ = a₁t₁ + v₀

v₁ = (10.0 m/s²) (3.0 s) + (0 m/s)

v₁ = 30 m/s

Next, find v₂:

v₂ = a₂t₂ + v₁

v₂ = (16 m/s²) (5.0 s) + (30 m/s)

v₂ = 110 m/s

Finally, find t₃:

v₃ = a₃t₃ + v₂

(0 m/s) = (-12 m/s²) t₃ + (110 m/s)

t₃ = 9.2 s

The total time is:

t = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

t = 3.0 s + 5.0 s + 9.2 s

t = 17.2 s

Round as needed.

Two objects must be in contact for them to exert a force on each other. <br><br> True<br> False
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The given statement "Two objects must be in contact for them to exert a force on each other" is not true as there are many types of forces that doesn't require being in contact for exerting a force.

One such example is the gravitational force acting between two bodies. Gravitational force is the force of pull with which a body pulls another body without being in contact.

For two bodies of masses 'M' and 'm' separated at a distance of 'R', the gravitational force is given as:

Force=\frac{GMm}{R^2}\\Where,G\to \textrm{Universal Gravitational constant}

The gravitational force acts always act between bodies that have mass. The bodies are not in contact yet experience force.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

The magnetosphere of Jupiter is
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

d. a large region outside Jupiter occupied by its magnetic field and filled with high-energy charged particles.  

Explanation:

A magnetic field is generated by the movement of a charged particle in the space around it. For the case of Jupiter its magnetic field is created by the liquid metallic hydrogen in its core.

So the magnetosphere is just the magnetic field around a planet, which interacts with high-energy charged particles (for example: Cosmic Rays).

Magnetospheres protect planets from the extreme radiation coming from stars or another interstellar source.
