James observes that the Polaris star in the northern hemisphere does not rise and set in the sky. His teacher tells him that thi

Answer:

Just above the axis of the Earth

Explanation:

The pole star is the star that lies just above the axis of the Earth. Contrary to the belief that it is exactly above the axis of Earth it is actually a little bit shifted. But that separation is very small i.e. 0.5°. Also, pole star is just a designation. For northern hemisphere, Polaris is the pole star.

In the diagram, Polaris will be the star just above the axis of Earth.

Just because it lies above the axis of the Earth it doesn't appear to move from its place.

Answer:

Just above the pole (top-most red circle)

Explanation:

Polaris is used to identify North direction. Since, the Earth rotates on its axis which is along North-south, Polaris never seems to rise and set from the Northern hemisphere. This is because Polaris lies above north pole. Thus, in the given diagram, Polaris is above the North pole on the axis represented by top-most red circle.

A small sphere is hung by a string from the ceiling of a van. When the van is stationary, the sphere hangs vertically. However,
olganol [36]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

String makes an angle w.r.t  vertical=\theta=

a.We have to derive an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the van in terms of the angle \theta and magnitude g of the acceleration due to gravity.

According to newton's second law

T sin\theta=ma

Tcos\theta=mg

\frac{Tsin\theta}{Tcos\theta}=\frac{ma}{mg}

tan\theta=\frac{a}{g}

a=gtan\theta

b.\theta=10^{\circ}

g=9.8 m/s^2

a=9.8\times tan10^{\circ}=1.73 m/s^2

c.Velocity=Constant

We have to find the angle \theta

a=0

0=9.8tan\theta

tan\theta=0

tan\theta=tan0

\theta=0^{\circ}

The pump in a water tower raises water with a density of rhow = 1.00 kg/liter from a filtered pool at the base of the tower up h
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the water being lifted per second

m = volume x density

= 6.2 x 1 = 6.2 kg

height by which water being lifted

h = 75 - 21

= 54 m

increase in potential energy of water per second

mgh

6.2 x 9.8 x 54

= 3281.04 J /s

= 3281.04 W.
