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°

     Your answer would be true. Because if we didn't have those pieces of evidence, we wouldn't know about a lot of the ancient civilizations that we know today without that. Small pieces of evidence like that can help us to determine how they lived, or what they used to do, or even what they ate.

An insulated beaker with negligible mass contains 0.250 kg of water at 75.0C. How many kilograms of ice at -20.0C must be droppe
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The amount of kilograms of ice at -20.0°C that must be dropped into the water to make the final temperature of the system 40.0°C = 0.0674 kg

Explanation:

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = Heat lost by the water

Total Heat gained by ice = Heat used by ice to move from -20°C to 0°C + Heat used to melt at 0°C + Heat used to reach 40°C from 0°C

To do this, we require the specific heat capacity of ice, latent heat of ice and the specific heat capacity of water. All will be obtained from literature.

Specific heat capacity of ice = Cᵢ = 2108 J/kg.°C

Latent heat of ice = L = 334000 J/kg

Specific heat capacity of water = C = 4186 J/kg.°C

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = mCᵢ ΔT + mL + mC ΔT = m(2108)(0 - (-20)) + m(334000) + m(4186)(40 - 0) = 42160m + 334000m + 167440m = 543600 m

Heat lost by water = mC ΔT = 0.25 (4186)(75 - 40) = 36627.5 J

543600 m = 36627.5

m = 0.0674 kg = 67.4 g of ice.

The angular speed of the hour hand of a clock, in rad/min, is:___________
lapo4ka [179]

The angular speed is defined as:

<h2>                                      ω=\frac{2\pi}{T}</h2>

        where

                                     T=12*60=720min

                                     \omega=\frac{2\pi}{720}

                                     \omega=4.4**10^{-3} rad/min

a ball is thrown striaght up in the air and then falls back to earth. if the downward fall takes 2.2s, how fast is the ball trav
lapo4ka [179]

The velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground, given the data is 21.56 m/s

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Time to reach ground from maximum height (t) = 2.2 s
  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Final velocity (v) =?

<h3>How to determine the velocity when the ball strikes the ground</h3>

The velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground can be obtained as illustrated below:

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 2.2)

v = 0 + 21.56

v = 21.56 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground is 21.56 m/s
