Answer:
C. 2 mph
Explanation:
speed equals total distance covered in total time of of travel
since,
total distance = 4 miles
time taken = 2 hrs
speed = 4m / 2hrs =2mph
The motorist travels (a) 58 km/h and (b) ~16.1 m/sec
Answer:
Tidal heating
Explanation:
Tidal force is the ability of a massive body to produce tides on another body. The tidal force depends on the mass of the body that produces the tides and the distance between the two bodies.
Tidal forces can cause the destruction of a satellite that orbits a planet or a comet that is too close to the Sun or a planet. When the orbiting body crosses the "Roche boundary", the tidal forces along the body are more intense than the cohesion forces that hold the body together.
Tidal friction is the force between the Earth's oceans and ocean floors caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon. The Earth tries to transport the waters of the oceans with it, while the Moon tries to keep them under it and on the opposite side of the Earth. In the long term, tidal friction causes the Earth's rotation speed to decrease, thus shortening the day. In turn, the Moon increases its angular momentum and gradually spirals away from Earth. Finally, when the day equals the orbital period of the Moon (which will be about 40 times the length of the current day), the process will cease. Subsequently, a new process will begin when the power to raise tides from the Sun takes angular momentum from the Earth-Moon system. The Moon will then spiral towards Earth until it is destroyed when it enters the "Roche boundary."
<u>Tidal heating
</u>
It is the warming caused by the tidal action on a planet or satellite. The most important example of tidal heating in the Solar System is the effect of Jupiter on its Io satellite, in which the tidal effects produce such high temperatures that the interior of the satellite melts, producing volcanism.
The particles of the liquid inside a thermometer speed up and spread apart when the thermometer is heated. In short, the particles expand from one another when they're heated, and become condensed and compact when chilled.
<span>3.2x10^-2 seconds (0.032 seconds)
This is a simple matter of division. I also suspect it's an exercise in scientific notation, so here is how you divide in scientific notation:
9.6 x 10^6 m / 3x10^8 m/s
First, divide the significands like you would normally.
9.6 / 3 = 3.2
And subtract the exponent. So
6 - 8 = -2
So the answer is 3.2 x 10^-2
And since the significand is less than 10 and at least 1, we don't need to normalize it.
So it takes 3.2x10^-2 seconds for the radio signal to reach the satellite.</span>
