What makes the north star, polaris, special?

Physics

It's the only star in the sky (visible from the northern hemisphere) that never seems to move. It stays at almost exactly the same point in the sky, while the other stars all circle around it once a day.

Define and describe the following terms: amplitude, wavelength, frequency, period, tension.
maw [93]

Answer:

Amplitude—distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave

Frequency—number of waves passing by a specific point per second

Period—time it takes for one wave cycle to complete

wavelength λ - the distance between adjacent identical parts of a wave, parallel to the direction of propagation.

Tension - described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object

Which process is the most scientifically plausible explanation for how the organisms released oxygen into Earth's atmosphere? Gr
Stels [109]

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Studies about the time period of oxygen accumulation suggests that free oxygen was first produced by prokaryotic and then later by eukaryotic organisms in the ocean. These organisms carried out photosynthesis more efficiently, producing oxygen as a waste product.

The organism mainly responsible for this is known as cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. These microbes conduct photosynthesis: using sunshine, water and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates and, oxygen.

3. A certain wire, 3 m long, stretches by 1.2 mm when under tension of 200 N. By how much does
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The extension of the second wire is   e_2 = 0.0024 \  m =  2.4 mm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length of the wire is L  = 3 \ m

     The elongation of the wire is  e =  1.2mm =  \frac{1.2}{1000} =  0.0012 m

        The tension is F  =  200 \ N

       The length of the second wire is  L_2   =  6 \ m

     

Generally the Young's modulus(Y) of this material is  

        Y  = \frac{stress}{strain }

Where stress =  \frac{F}{A}

    Where A is the area which is evaluated as  

           A = \pi r^2

  and   strain = \frac{extention}{length} =  \frac{e}{L}

   So

        Y  = \frac{\frac{F}{\pi r^2 } }{ \frac{e}{L}  }

Since the wire are of the same material Young's modulus(Y)  is constant

So we have  

              \frac{F * L }{r^2 e}  =  \pi * Y = constant

              F * L   =  constant   * r^2 e

Now the ration between the first and the second wire is

         \frac{F_1}{F_2}  * \frac{L_1}{L_2} =  \frac{r*2_1}{r^2}  *  \frac{e_1}{e_2}

Since tension , radius are constant

   We have

           \frac{L_1}{L_2} =   \frac{e_1}{e_2}

substituting values

          \frac{3}{6} =   \frac{0.0012}{e_2}

          0.5 e_2 =  0.0012

         e_2 = \frac{ 0.0012  }{0.5}

          e_2 = 0.0024 \  m =  2.4 mm
