I think it is true because the litter one s the one that orbits

<span>The answer to that question is the Earth orbits the sun because every planet that it lighter than the Sun will orbit it. The reason that the moon and satellites we launch orbit Earth because they are so much lighter than our planet. So baisicly it goes by lighter!</span>

A train at a constant 79.0 km/h moves east for 27.0 min, then in a direction 50.0° east of due north for 29.0 min, and then west

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Magnitude of avg velocity, $|v_{avg}| = 18.9 km/h$

$\theta' = 56.85^{\circ}$

Given:

Constant speed of train, v = 79 km/h

Time taken in East direction, t = 27 min = $\frac{27}{60} h$

Angle, $\theta = 50^{\circ}$

Time taken in $50^{\circ}$ east of due North direction, t' = 29 min = $\frac{29}{60} h$

Time taken in west direction, t'' = 37 min = $\frac{27}{60} h$

Solution:

Now, the displacement, 's' in east direction is given by:

$\vec{s} = vt = 79\times \frac{27}{60} = 35.5\hat{i} km$

Displacement in $50^{\circ}$ east of due North for 29.0 min is given by:

$\vec{s'} = vt'sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + vt'cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}$

$\vec{s'} = 79(\frac{29}{60})sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + 79(\frac{29}{60})cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}$

$\vec{s'} = 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km$

Now, displacement in the west direction for 37 min:

$\vec{s''} = - vt''hat{i} = - 79\frac{37}{60} = - 48.72\hat{i} km$

Now, the overall displacement,

$\vec{s_{net}} = \vec{s} + \vec{s'} + \vec{s''}$

$\vec{s_{net}} = 35.5\hat{i} + 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} - 48.72\hat{i}$

$\vec{s_{net}} = 16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km$

(a) Now, average velocity, $v_{avg}$ is given:

$v_{avg} = \frac{total displacement, \vec{s_{net}}}{total time, t}$

$v_{avg} = \frac{16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j}}{\frac{27 + 29 + 37}{60}}$

$v_{avg} = 10.34\hat{i} + 15.83\hat{j}) km/h$

Magnitude of avg velocity is given by:

$|v_{avg}| = \sqrt{(10.34)^{2} + (15.83)^{2}} = 18.9 km/h$

(b) angle can be calculated as:

$tan\theta' = \frac{15.83}{10.34}$

$\theta' = tan^{- 1}\frac{15.83}{10.34} = 56.85^{\circ}$

What happens to the density of a fluid as the substance gains thernal energy

Natalka [10]

Density reduces

Explanation:

The density of a fluid will reduce as a substance gains more thermal energy. Heat is a form of thermal energy usually noticed as temperature differences in a matter.

When thermal energy is gained by a body, the temperature of the body rises.
The particles of the medium gains more kinetic energy.
This causes the substance to expand and it has more volume.
When a substance expands, it occupies more space.
The more the volume a body occupies, the lesser the density.
Expansion does not change the mass of the fluid but the volume changes.
This is why density decreases.

You have been asked to recommend a alternative source of energy that your town could use to generate electricity. Describe the r

snow_tiger [21]

I believe that solar energy would be the best energy for my town. Solar energy is advantageous because the sun is up every day, and because it takes up much less space than than some other sources of renewable energy. Some disadvantages of solar energy are that if there is cloud cover, hardly any energy will be gained at all. Another disadvantage is that it is a long term investment that can take a while for it to pay for itself.

Which best describes a value for density

scoray [572]

Density can be any number, as long as it has the right units.

A unit of density has to be (a unit of mass) divided by (a unit of volume).
The most common one is gram/cm^3.
