What makes the north star, polaris, special?

Physics

Mama L [17]3 years ago

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.

How does the matter and (solar) energy move through the sphere?
Tema [17]
When the Sun's energy moves through space, it reaches Earth's atmosphere and finally the surface. This radiant solar energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This heat energy is transferred throughout the planet's systems in three ways: by radiation, conduction, and convection.

Marcia flew her ultralight plane to a nearby town against a head wind of 15 km/h in 2h 20 min. the return trip under the same wi
insens350 [35]

Let the distance between the towns be d and the speed of the air be s.

distance = speed * time

convert the minutes time into hours.

When flying into the wind, ground speed will be air speed MINUS wind speed, hence the against the wind trip is described by:

d

s−15

=

7

3

return trip is then :

d

s+15

=

7

5

Cross-multiplying both we get the two-variable system:

3d=7∗(s−15)5d=7∗(s+15)

3d=7s−1055d=7s+105

subtract first equation from second equation we get

2d=210d=105km

Substitute the value of d in the above equations for s.

5∗105=7s+1057s=420s=60km/hr

Two large, flat, horizontally oriented plates are parallel to each other, a distance d apart. Half-way between the two plates th
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the potential difference between the plate is V . Then in the first case

Electric field E between plate

E₁ = V / d

where d is separation between plate

When the plate separation becomes d / 2

Electric field E between plate

E₂ = V / d /2

= 2 V / d =2E₁

Or twice the earlier field

A player kicks a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. When the soccer ball reaches its maximum height, how does
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The speed of the soccer ball at height point is less than its initial speed

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the soccer can be written in vector form as

v_{i = v cos θ î + v sin θ j

where v_{i  is initial velocity of the ball

           v is the initial speed of the ball

Assume soccer ball is kicked at an angle θ with an horizontal and initial speed vm/s. Its horizontal component will be as,

v_{x} = v cos θ

v_{y} = v sin θ

At the maximum height, the vertical component becomes zero. therefore, the velocity of the soccer at the maximum point can be written as,

v_{m} = v cos θ j

where, v_{m} is velocity of the soccer ball at maximum height
