Does the plane of the ecliptic coincide with the plane of the equator? explain.

1 answer:

3 0

<span>no it doesn't. one way to think of it is that the tropic of capricorn is the furthest south the sun's path goes, and the tropic of cancer is the northern most line that the sun traces out. since neither the tropic of capriforn nor the tropic of cancer are on the equator, the sun must be tracing out a different line and hence be on a different plane. also, if the sun was on the same plane as the equator, then we wouldn't have seasons.</span>

A carbon rod with a radius of 1.9 mm is used to make a resistor. What length of the carbon rod should be used to make a 3.7 Ω re

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Length = 2.32 m

Explanation:

Let the length required be 'L'.

Given:

Resistance of the resistor (R) = 3.7 Ω

Radius of the rod (r) = 1.9 mm = 0.0019 m [1 mm = 0.001 m]

Resistivity of the material of rod (ρ) = $1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m$

First, let us find the area of the circular rod.

Area is given as:

$A=\pi r^2=3.14\times (0.0019)^2=1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2$

Now, the resistance of the material is given by the formula:

$R=\rho( \frac{L}{A})$

Express this in terms of 'L'. This gives,

$\rho\times L=R\times A\\\\L=\frac{R\times A}{\rho}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for length 'L'. This gives,

$L=\frac{3.7\ \Omega\times 1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2}{1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m}\\\\L=\frac{4.181}{1.8}=2.32\ m$

Therefore, the length of the material required to make a resistor of 3.7 Ω is 2.32 m.

In a shipping yard, a crane operator attaches a cable to a 1,400 kg shipping container and then uses the crane to lift the conta

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of crane $m=1400\ kg$

distance moved $d=40\ m$

Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero

Tension force=weight

T=mg

Work done by Tension T is

$W_T=T\cdot d$

$W_T=1400\times 9.8\cdot 40$

$W_T=548.8\ KJ$

Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces

$W_T+W_g=0$

$W_g=-548.8\ KJ$

The composition of the protoplanetary disk varies with distance from the protostar due to temperature.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

b) 1. Iron, silicates, carbon

2. Water

3. Methane, Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide.

Explanation:

Protoplanetry disk is the disk of gases and clouds of dust that rotates around the newly made star. The temperature of the protoplanetry disk actually determines the type of the planet that is to be formed. Inner part of the protoplanetry disk is closer to the sun thats why it is the hottest and denser part and composed of the materials like Iron, silicates, carbon as they have high melting points. Then comes those materials that exist in the solid form at lower temperatures such as the volatile materials like water. Ater that the protoplanetry disk is made of highly volatile materials that exists in solid from only at low coldest temperatures. So the outer part of the protoplanetry disk is made up of the Methane, Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide.
