From the point of view of the northern hemisphere:

The sun starts out the year at the Spring equinox, March 21,
Right Ascension 0, Declination 0.

3 months later, Summer solstice, June 21
RA = 6 hours, Dec. = +23.5°

3 months later, Fall equinox, September 21,
RA = 12 hours, Dec. = 0

3 months later, Winter solstice, December 21,
RA = 18 hours,  Dec. = -23.5°

A car travels in a straight line covering a total distance of 90.0 miles in 60.0 minutes. Which one of the following statements
andrezito [222]

Answer:

E) The average velocity of the car is 90.0 miles per hour in the direction of motion.

Explanation:

Given;

distance covered by the car, d = 90 miles

time taken, t = 60 minutes = 1 hour

The average velocity of the car is given by change in displacement per change in time;

V = Δd / Δt

V = \frac{x_f - x_o}{t_f -t_o} = \frac{90-0}{1-0} \\\\V = 90 \ miles/hour

Therefore, the average velocity of the car is 90.0 miles per hour in the direction of motion.

a new planet is discovered that has twice the earth’s mass and twice the earth’s radius. on the surface of this new planet, a pe
Irina18 [472]

Answer: 250n

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is: F = (gMm)/r^2

There are two factors at play here:

1) The mass of the planet 'M'

2) The radius 'r'

We can ignore the small M and the g, they are constants that do not alter the outcome of this question.

You can see that both M and r are double that of earth. So lets say earth has M=1 and r=1. Then, new planet would have M=2 and r=2. Let's sub these two sets into the equation:

Earth. F =  M/r^2 = 1/1

New planet. F = M/r^2 = 2/4 = 1/2

So you can see that the force on the new planet is half of that felt on Earth.

The question tells us that the force on earth is 500n for this person, so then on the new planet it would be half! So, 250n!

A ball is thrown from ground level so as to just clear wall 4m height at distance 4m from wall and falls 14 m from wall . Veloci
kolbaska11 [484]
Ok, this is a 2d kinematics problem,  the falls 14 m part is confusing, I think it means in the x direction, but you don't need it anyway.

If we know it goes 4m into the air, we know  d = 4m (height of wall), we also know the acceleration a=-9.8m/s^2 (because gravity) and that the vertical velocity when it just clears the wall will be 0 m/s, which we'll call our final velocity (Vf). Using Vf^2 = Vi^2 +2a*d, we can solve this for Vi and drop Vf because it's zero to get: Vi = sqrt(-2ad), plug in numbers (don't forget a is negative) and you get 8.85 m/s in the vertical direction. The x-direction velocity requires that we solve the y-direction for time, using Vf= Vi + at, we solve for t, getting t= -Vi/a, plug in numbers t= -8.85/-9.8 = 0.9 s. Now we can use the simple v = d/t (because x-direction has no acceleration (a=0)), and plug in the distance to the wall and the time it takes to get there v = (4/.9) = 4.444 m/s, this is the velocity in the x direction, we use Pythagoras' theorem to find the total velocity, Vtotal = sqrt(Vx^2 + Vy^2), so Vtotal = sqrt(8.85^2+4.444^2) = 9.9m/s. Yay physics!
