"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way.
-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down. It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.
-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move. The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.
-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her. If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.
From these examples, you can see a few things:
-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.
-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.
-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.
Explanation:
We know that the sky appears to us like a sphere called as celestial sphere which appears to rotate around an imaginary axis because of Earth's rotation. Since the axis cuts the celestial sphere at celestial poles all the object seems to circle around the celestial poles.
Condition 1: The stars rise and set perpendicular to the horizon
The observer is at the equator
Condition 2: The stars circle the sky parallel to the horizon
The observer is at the Pole of the Earth
Condition 3: The celestial equator passes through the zenith
The observer is at the equator
Condition 4: In the course of a year, all stars are visible
The observer is at the equator
Condition 5: The Sun rises on March 21 and does not set until September 21 (ideally)
The observer is at North Pole
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for the force exerted between two charges is
where k is the Coulomb constant.
The charges are identical, so we can write the formula as
Answer:
The neutrinos are produced in the core of the sun by nuclear fusion and measuring their number helps us confirm that there are enough proton-proton chain reactions of each which produce a neutrino and going on in the Sun's core to explain the energy output of the Sun.
Answer:
Width = 680 [m]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must know the speed of sound in the air, conducting an internet search, we find that this speed has a value of v = 340 [m/s].
We apply the following kinematic equation, which relates space to time, to define speed.
v = x /t
where:
x = distance [m]
t = time [s]
v = velocity [m/s]
Now replacing:
x = 340 * 4
x = 1360 [m]
But the width of the cannon is calculated when the sound wave hits the wall of the canyon, so this width is half the distance.
Width = 1360 / 2 = 680 [m]
