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

s is because Earth rotates around an axis that points toward Polaris. Based on this information, identify where Polaris could be located on the diagram.

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.

Find the speed of light in each of the following materials. (a) gallium phosphide m/s (b) carbon disulfide m/s (c) benzene
Oksanka [162]

Explanation:

We need to calculate the speed of light in each materials

(I). Gallium phosphide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 3.50

Using formula of speed of light

v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}....(I)

Where, \mu = index of refraction

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{3.50}

v=8.6\times10^{7}\ m/s

(II) Carbon disulfide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.63

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.63}

v=1.8\times10^{8}\ m/s

(III). Benzene,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.50

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.50}

v=2\times10^{8}\ m/s

Hence, This is the required solution.

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.

Explanation:

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed of the rock at 2m on the way down compare with its speed at 2m on the way up?

It decreases in speed on its way down and increases in speed on its way down.

it decreases in speed on its way up because the the vertical motion is against the earths gravitational pull on an object to the earth's center

.It increases in speed on his way down because its under the influence of gravity

from newton's equation of motion we can check by

using V^2=u^2+2as

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.

Binding of a signaling molecule to which type of receptor leads directly to a change in the distribution of substances on opposi
Mrac [35]

When two sides of a membrane are in contact with each other, the distribution of ions will alter as a result of the binding of a signal molecule to a ligand-gated ion channel.

<h3>What is a ligand-gated ion channel?</h3>

Ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are membrane proteins that are structurally integral and feature a pore that permits the controlled passage of particular ions across the plasma membrane. The electrochemical gradient for the permeant ions drives the passive ion flux.

When a chemical ligand, such as a neurotransmitter, attaches to the protein, ligand-gated ion channels open. Changes in membrane potential cause voltage channels to open and close. When a receptor physically deforms, as in the case of pressure and touch receptors, mechanically-gated channels open.

How can you determine the number of valence electrons in atom without drawing a Bohr model?
grigory [225]
Using your periodic table if you look at it 3-11 are tansition metals so the horizontal Group Number will help if the group number has to digits just remove the one so if it were to be 13, the valence would be 3, if it were 14 the valence would be ,4 if it were 15, the valence would be 5, if it were 16 the valence would be 6, if it were 17 the valence would be 7 if it were group 18 the valence would be 8 so if anymore help needed to explain hit me up

A ball is dropped from a height of 20m and renounce with the velocity which is 3/4 of d velocity with which it hits the ground.
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

1.73 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity the ball first hits the ground with is:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (-10 m/s²) (-20 m)

v = -20 m/s

The velocity it rebounds with is 3/4 of that in the opposite direction, or 15 m/s.

The time it takes to return to the ground is:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = (15 m/s) t + ½ (-10 m/s²) t²

0 = t (15 − 5t²)

t = √3

t ≈ 1.73 seconds
