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.

A 1.0-kg block and a 2.0-kg block are pressed together on a horizontal frictionless surface with a compressed very light spring
Lunna [17]

Answer:

statement B is true

Explanation:

since same force is applied by the compressed spring on both masses so their rate of change of momenta must be same and since the lighter block has lesser mass so it must have greater velocity to have an equal change in momentum as of heavier mass.

By relation: KE=\frac{(mv)^{2} }{2m}

KE lighter=\frac{(mv)^{2} }{2(1)} , KEheavier=\frac{(mv)^{2} }{2(2)}

comparing momenta of above two equations we get

KElighter (2) = KEheavier (4)

KElighter = 2 KEheavier

If during the submerged weighing procedure air bubbles were to adhere to the object, how would the experimental results be affec
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

see from this analysis, the apparent weight of the body is lower due to the push created by the air brujuleas

Explanation:

We will propose this exercise using Archimedes' principle, which establishes that the thrust on a body is equal to the volume of the desalted liquid.

          B = ρ g V

The weight of a submerged body is the net force between the weight and the thrust

          F_net = W - B

we can write the weight as a function of the density

          ρ_body = m / V

         m =  ρ_body V

         W = mg

         W =  ρ _body g V

we substitute

         F_net= ( ρ_body -  ρ _fluid) g V

In general this force is directed downwards, we can call this value the apparent weight of the body. This is the weight of the submerged body.

          W_aparente = ( ρ_body -  ρ _fluid) g V

If some air bubbles formed in this body, the net force of these bubbles is

         F_net ’= #_bubbles ( ρ_fluido -  ρ_air) g V’

this force is directed upwards

whereby the measured force is

         F = W_aparente - F_air  

           

As we can see from this analysis, the apparent weight of the body is lower due to the push created by the air brujuleas

You and your friend are stranded on a raft of mass 1000 kg which is not moving, you can neglect friction between the boat and th
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Mass of raft=m1= 1000kg

Mass of paddle=m2=40kg

Speed of paddle=v2=3 m/s

Speed of raft=recoil speed=v1=?

Formula

V1= -(m2/m1)v2= -(40/1000)3= - 0.12m/s

Explanation:

Here the raft has much greater mass as compare the paddle and its velocity will always be negative due to recoil. 1 and 2 with masses and velocities are subscripts.
