Explanation :

It is given that,

The radius of the earth is, r = 3959 mi

From the attached figure, we have to find the distance to the horizon from this point.

So, using Pythagoras theorem:

AP^2=OA^2-OP^2

x^2=(R+h)^2-R^2

x^2=(3959+4.3)^2-(3959)^2

x^2=34065.89\ mi

x=184.57\ mi

The distance to the horizon from this point is 184.57 mi.

Hence, this is the required solution.

An unbalanced force of 500 N is applied to a 75 kg object. What is the acceleration of the object?
NemiM [27]

1. Define Newtons second law of motion (this will help put things into perspective)

2.Get the mass of the object (in this case 75 kg)

3.The net force acting on the object...find it (in this case 500 N)

4.Change the equation to F=ma (500=75a)

5.Divide both sides by 75 and that is the acceleration.

A truck moves 30 km West, and then 40 km North, and then travels in a straight path back to its starting
SpyIntel [72]

Distance = (30+40+50) = 120 km

It's back where it started, so displacement = zero

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Somatic motor neurons originate in the central nervous system, project their axons to skeletal muscles (such as the muscles of the limbs, abdominal, and intercostal muscles), which are involved in locomotion.

Explanation:

Muscles move on commands from the brain. Single nerve cells in the spinal cord, called motor neurons, are the only way the brain connects to muscles. When a motor neuron inside the spinal cord fires, an impulse goes out from it to the muscles on a long, very thin extension of that single cell called an axon.
