The longitude based on the time difference is 15 degrees.

<h3>Longitude of complete rotation of the Earth</h3>

The longitude of a complete rotation of the earth in a 24 hours is calculated as follows;

$= \frac{360^0}{24} = 15^0 \ of \ longitude$

<h3>Time difference</h3>

The time difference between the local apparent solar time and the Greenwich time is calculated as follows;

$t = 12 pm \ - \ 11 am\\\\t = 1 \ hour$

Since it is one hour time difference, the longitude is 15 degrees.

What role did gravity play in the formation of the planets?

joja [24]

Your answer would be D.
If an object has mass, it has gravity, and the more mass it has, the stronger its gravity. During the formation of planets, essentially, various matter and elements pulled and fused together (because of the gravity), forming planetesimals.

A physics student tests the theory of projectile motion by leaping off a 225 meter tall building. She runs off the building hori

tamaranim1 [39]

In this item, we are given with the x-component of the velocity. The y-component is equal to 0 m/s. The time it takes for it to reach the volume can be related through the equation,

d = V₀t + 0.5gt²

Substituting the known values,

225 = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(9.8)(t²)

Simplifying,

t = 6.776 s

To determine the distance of the student from the edge of the building, we multiply the x-component by the calculated time.

range = (12.5 m/s)(6.776 s)

range = 84.7 m

<em>Answer: 84.7 m</em>

We have that the Number of stitches per sec and he mass of oscillation motion is mathematically given as

a) Nt=25stitches per sec

b) m=2.033e-5kg

<h3>Number of stitches per sec and he mass of oscillation motion</h3>

Question Parameters:

This <u>sewing </u>machine is capable of stitching 1,500 stiches in one minute.

If the <em>sewing </em>machine has a spring constant of 0.5 N/m,

Generally the equation for the Number of stitches per sec is mathematically given as

Nt=N/t

Therefore

Nt=1500/60

Nt=25stitches per sec

Generally the equation for the Time t is mathematically given as

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

Therefore

$0.04=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{0.5}}\\\\m=\frac{0.5*0.04^2}{4\pi^2}$

m=2.033e-5kg
