The food package will strike the ground at 11 degrees below the horizontal.

<h3>Time for the food package to hit the ground</h3>

The time for the food package to hit the ground is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

<em>let the initial velocity be horizontal</em>

4900 = 0(t) + (0.5 x 9.8)t²

4900 = 4.9t²

t² = 4900/4.9

t² = 1,000

t = √1,000

t = 31.62 s

<h3> Final speed of the food package when it hits ground</h3>

vf(y) = vo + gt

vf(y) = 0 + (31.62 x 9.8)

vf(y) = 309.88 m/s

<h3>Angle of projection</h3>

The horizontal component of the speed will be constant, while vertical component will change

tan(\theta ) = \frac{V_y}{V_x} \\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{V_y}{V_x})\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{309.88}{58.1} )\\\\\theta = 79^0

Angle below the horizontal = 90 - 79 = 11⁰

Thus, the food package will strike the ground at 11 degrees below the horizontal.

The transfer of heat from the Sun is in the form of thermal radiation (also called infrared radiation)
The transfer of heat at the person’s feet is by thermal conduction. During the day the sand will be hot so if you step on it with bare feet there will be conduction of heat to the feet.

If C moves to position 5 (60 meters), what is its average velocity during these 5 seconds?
Hoochie [10]

Velocity:

60 meters/ 5 seconds= 12 meters/second

Velocity=12meters/second

(60 meters divided by 5 seconds equals 12 meters per second)

Hope this helps!

Match the geologic time period with its corresponding event.
Mandarinka [93]

The dinosaurs first appeared in the Mesozoic and the first mass extinction occurred during the Paleozoic. Moreover, humans first appeared in the Cenozoic.

<h3>The geological eras and biological events</h3>

The dinosaurs emerged during the Triassic Period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 220-225 million years ago.

The first mass extinction occurred in the Ordovician Period (the second period of the Paleozoic Era).

The Cenozoic is the current geological Era that encompasses the last 60 million years.

Intensity, E follows inverse square law.

E α  1/r²

r is the distance.

So if the distance r is increased by 3, the intensity would be reduced by 3²

3² = 9

So the answer is nines times as low.  C.

The large scale structure of the universe has been carefully mapped using redshift surveys of a very large number of galaxies. A
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

26280

Explanation:

In current time, good telescope can measure redshift to a galaxy in 10 minutes.  

Thus, in one year that has on an average 365 days, the total time taken to  measure redshifts is = ( 365 *12 *60) minute  

= 262800 minutes .

Hence, the number of redshifts observed in a year = (262800/10) = 26280
