Answer:

Understanding projections and coordinate systems important knowledge to have, especially if you deal with many different sets of data that come from different sources. Projections Distortion Coordinate Systems Datums

A Cartesian coordinate system. Locations on the Earth's surface are measured and represented in terms of coordinates; a coordinate is a set of two or more numbers that specifies the position of a point, line, or other geometric figure in relation to some reference system.

• Check Layer Properties > Source > Spatial Reference to find out what coordinate system your data is in. If it says “Unknown Coordinate System” you definitely want to use the Define Projection tool. • The Define Projection tool will not make a copy of your data.

Math coordinates identify the location of a point on a graph or map. The ordered pair, (x,y) is the address of the point. The Cartesian coordinate system is the graph used to locate the point.

If a system has 225 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 × 102 kj of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in int

vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the system

$Q$ is the heat absorbed by the system

$W$ is the work done by the system on the surrounding

In this problem, the work done by the system is

$W=-225 kcal=-941.4 kJ$

with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is

$Q=-5 \cdot 10^2 kJ=-500 kJ$

with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.

Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find

$\Delta U=Q-W=-500 kJ+941.4 kJ=441.4 kJ$

A force of 20N changes the position of a body. If mass of the body is 2kg, find the acceleration produced in the body.2. A ball

shepuryov [24]

Explanation:

Hello there!!!

You just need to use simple formula for force and momentum, 

F= m.a

and momentum (p)= m.v

where m= mass

v= velocity.

a= acceleration .

And the solutions are in pictures. 

Hope it helps..

If chilled coke and hot tea are kept together tea cools down but ko gets warm why

olga55 [171]

Tea gets cool beacuse of heat tranfer through convenction
Heat transfers from a area of hot region to cold.
The tea is hot in this case, due to taht factor the heat will move towards teh cooler region which is coke and will make the coke warm

Hope this helped!

Within the theory of G relativity what, exactly, is meant by " the speed of light WITHIN A VACUUM" ? & what does that have t

Ber [7]

The speed of light "within a vacuum" refers to the speed of electromagnetic radiation propagating in empty space, in the complete absence of matter. This is an important distinction because light travels slower in material media and the theory of relativity is concerned with the speed only in vacuum. In fact, the theory of relativity and the "speed of light" actually have nothing to do with light at all. The theory deals primarily with the relation between space and time and weaves them into an overarching structure called spacetime. So where does the "speed of light" fit into this? It turns out that in order to talk about space and time as different components of the same thing (spacetime) they must have the same units. That is, to get space (meters) and time (seconds) into similar units, there has to be a conversion factor. This turns out to be a velocity. Note that multiplying time by a velocity gives a unit conversion of
$seconds \times \frac{meters}{seconds} =meters$
This is why we can talk about lightyears. It's not a unit of time, but distance light travels in a year. We are now free to define distance as a unit of time because we have a way to convert them.
As it turns out light is not special in that it gets to travel faster than anything else. Firstly, other things travel that fast too (gravity and information to name two). But NO events or information can travel faster than this. Not because they are not allowed to beat light to the finish line---remember my claim that light has nothing to do with it. It's because this speed (called "c") converts space and time. A speed greater than c isn't unobtainable---it simply does not exist. Period. Just like I can't travel 10 meters without actually moving 10 meters, I cannot travel 10 meters without also "traveling" at least about 33 nanoseconds (about the time it takes light to get 10 meters) There is simply no way to get there in less time, anymore than there is a way to walk 10 meters by only walking 5.
We don't see this in our daily life because it is not obvious that space and time are intertwined this way. This is a result of our lives spent at such slow speeds relative to the things around us.
This is the fundamental part to the Special Theory of Relativity (what you called the "FIRST" part of the theory) Here is where Einstein laid out the idea of spacetime and the idea that events (information) itself propagates at a fixed speed that, unlike light, does not slow down in any medium. The idea that what is happening "now" for you is not the same thing as what is "now" for distant observers or observers that are moving relative to you. It's also where he proposed of a conversion factor between space and time, which turned out to be the speed of light in vacuum.
