The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us. It keeps changing the direction of the Moon's velocity. This means gravity makes the Moon accelerate all the time, even though its speed remains constant.

What is dark energy?
expeople1 [14]
Dark energy is a theoretical repulsive energy that causes the acceleration to the expansion of the universe. Among the choices, the nearest answer would be D. Dark energy can also be defined as a new form of energy, that is a dynamic field that fills up space but has an effect opposite to that of normal energy.

Do the math: How many seconds would it take an echo sounder’s ping to make the trip from a ship to the Challenger Deep (10,994 m
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

<h2>14.66secs</h2>

Explanation:

Given the formula for calculating the depth in metres expressed as

depth in meters = ½ (1500 m/sec × Echo travel time in seconds)

Given depth of the challenger = 10, 994 meters, we will substitute this given value into the formula given to calculate the time take for the echo to travel.

10, 994 = depth in meters = ½ * 1500 m/sec × Echo travel time in seconds

10,994 = 750 * Echo travel time in seconds

Dividing both sides by 750;

Echo travel time in seconds = 10,994 /750

Echo travel time in seconds ≈ 14.66secs (to two decimal places)

Therefore, it would take an echo sounder’s ping 14.66secs to make the trip from a ship to the Challenger Deep and back

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

7,14545 mph and 3,1936 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is calculated by dividing the displacement over time, then it is 26,2 miles/(3 2/3 hours), here 3 (2/3) hours is a mixed number, that represents 11/3 hours or 3,66 hours. Then the average speed is 7,14545 mph, now to turn this into meters per second, we notice as mentioned that 1 mile =1609 meters and 1 hour=3600 seconds. Then 7,14545 miles/hour* (1 hour/3600 seconds) * (1609 meters/1 mile)=3,1936 m/s
