The vernal equinox in the year AD 10000 will lie in the constellation Scorpio.

Once every 25800 years a full cycle of precession is completed. There are 12 constellations which means it takes 25800 / 12 = 2150 years to move from one constellation to the next one. The order in which the vernal equinox moves from Aquarius is Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra etc.

Now the year is 2022 AD where the vernal equinox just entered constellation Aquarius. In 4172 AD it would have entered constellation Capricorn, then constellation Sagittarius in 6322 AD, then constellation Scorpio in 8472 AD and then constellation Libra in 10622 AD. This means that in 10000 AD it is still in constellation Scorpio and yet to enter constellation Libra.

Therefore, In the year 10000 AD, the vernal equinox will lie in the constellation Scorpio.

ANSWER

Mass: The resistance of an object to acceleration, size-dependent

Volume: The amount of space an object occupies

Boiling point: The temperature at which a liquid boils and turns to vapor.

Melting point: The temperature at which a solid melts and turns to liquid

Density: Size-independent

Solubility: The ability of a substance (solvent) to dissolve when placed in a liquid (solute)

Magnetism: Size-dependent

EXPLANATION:

Mass: the more mass something has, the harder it is to accelerate. This is somewhat intuitive, but is also demonstrated in newton's third law. It's size-dependent because for an object of a given density, the size (volume) will change the mass.

Volume: big objects take up more space. If you put an apple in bucket filled to the brim with water, a little water will splash out, because the apple is now occupying the space that the water used to, but if you put in a watermelon, a lot of water will splash out, because the watermelon is taking up even more space.

Boiling point: when a liquid gets too hot, it will change to gas (example: water to steam)

Melting point: when a liquid gets too cold, it will change to a solid (example: water to ice)

Density: how much mass there is in a given volume. A sphere made of lead will have more mass than a sphere made of wood, even if they are the same size. Size-independent because a big lead sphere has the same density as a small lead sphere, they just have different masses.

Solubility: some substances dissolve in certain solvents, other's don't.

Magnetism: size-dependent because a bigger magnet is stronger than a smaller one if they are identical in every other way. More space means more domains means a stronger magnet.

What type of waves are sound waves, and how do they<br> transfer energy?

klemol [59]

Answer:

Sound wave types - longitudinal waves

Longitudinal waves - Vibrating string the creates sound in the way it moves.

Explanation:

Longitudinal waves have particles of the medium that are displaced in a parallel direction to energy transport.

When an object of weight w is suspended from the center of a massless string?

igomit [66]

I attached a picture of the diagram associated with this question.

Now,
When we check the vertical components of the tension in the rope, we will find that we have two equal components acting upwards.
These two components support the weight and each of them has a value of TcosΘ

The net force acting on the body is zero.
Fnet=Force of tension acting upwards-Force due to weight acting downwards
0 = 2TcosΘ -W
W = 2TcosΘ
T = W / 2cosΘ

Which state of matter takes both the shape and volume of its container?

Tresset [83]

The <em>gaseous state</em> of matter does that. A gas expands to take the shape and volume of whatever you put it into.
