Answer is because of the earths rotation on its axis and it’s orbit around the sun. The earth is the one changing positions!

Reason- Diurnal motion is the scientific term referring to the assumed motion of celestial objects around Earth. This motion is actually due to the Earth's rotation on its axis and it’s orbit around the sun.

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air fr
Leviafan [203]

1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s

The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration a=g=9.8 m/s^2 directed downward, initial vertical position d=750 m, and initial vertical velocity v_0 = 0. We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

v_f^2 -v_i^2 =2ad

substituting, we find

v_f^2 = 2ad\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(750 m)}=121.2 m/s

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m

We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

v_f=\frac{121.2 m/s}{2}=60.6 m/s

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting v_f with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:

v_f^2-v_i^2=2ad\\d=\frac{v_f^2}{2a}=\frac{(60.6 m/s)^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=187.4 m

Which means that the heigth of the packet was

h=750 m-187.4 m=562.6 m

Convert to the fractional equivalent and reduce 21.12
nignag [31]

The decimal point is placed after two digits starting from the end. For each decimal place, we can write the number divided by 100.

21.12 can be written as \frac{2112}{100}.

Divide the numerator and denominator by 2:

\frac{2112}{100}= \frac{156}{50}

The numerator and denominator can be divided by 2 again:

\frac{78}{25}

There is no other common factor between numerator and denominator other than 1. Hence, it is the reduced form.
