Answer:

Earth spins around its axis, just as a top spins around its spindle. This spinning movement is called Earth's rotation. At the same time that the Earth spins on its axis, it also orbits, or revolves around the Sun. ... Hence the length of a day on Earth is actually 24 hours.

Answer:

Earth spins because of the way it was formed. Our Solar System formed about 4.6 billion years ago when a huge cloud of gas and dust started to collapse under its own gravity. As the cloud collapsed, it started to spin. ... The Earth keeps on spinning because there are no forces acting to stop it.

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of HX

marta [7]

Answer:

$M(29, -12)$

Explanation:

Given:

$H(4\frac{1}{2}, -3\frac{1}{4}), X(2\frac{3}{4}, -2\frac{3}{4})$

Required:

Coordinates of the Midpoint of HX

Solution:

Midpoint (M) of HX, for $H(4\frac{1}{2}, -3\frac{1}{4}), X(2\frac{3}{4}, -2\frac{3}{4})$ is given as

$M(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$ .

Let $H(4\frac{1}{2}, -3\frac{1}{4}) = (x_1, y_1)$

$X(2\frac{3}{4}, -2\frac{3}{4}) = (x_2, y_2)$

Thus:

$M(\frac{4\frac{1}{2} + 2\frac{3}{4}}{2}, \frac{-3\frac{1}{4} + (-2\frac{3}{4})}{2})$

Convert to improper fractions

$M(\frac{\frac{9}{2} + \frac{11}{4}}{2}, \frac{-\frac{13}{4} + (-\frac{11}{4})}{2})$

$M(\frac{\frac{18 + 11}{2}}{2}, \frac{\frac{-13 - 11}{4}}{2})$

$M(\frac{\frac{29}{2}}{2}, \frac{\frac{-24}{4}}{2})$

$M(\frac{29}{2}*2, \frac{-24}{4}*2$

$M(29, -12)$

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The most important thing that the designers should take into account are the potential earthquakes - the buildings should be able to withstand the shaking of the ground.

Additionally, Earthquakes often lead to fires, so the buildings should also be fire-proof; especially not made of wood.

Finally, the possibility of a tsunami should be considered.
