Answer:

This is due to the apparent movement of the celestial bodies, seen from an observer centered on the Earth. If we did not have knowledge of the advances of science and the latest discoveries, we would think that the Earth is the center of the universe.

For example, for an observer on Earth as a reference system, the Sun moves every day from east to west, as do the planets and all the stars that we observe at night, which leads the observer to believe that those in motion are these bodies outside in the sky while the earth is still and fixed in the universe.

Keep in mind that this theory of geocentrism was widely accepted for a long time in antiquity, until the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a completely different and opposite idea, heliocentrism (universe centered on the Sun).

However, at present it is known and accepted that the universe has no center, that the Earth revolves around the Sun and that in reality all the bodies of the universe are in movement.

One beam of electrons moves at right angles to a magnetic field. the force on these electrons is 4.9 x 10-14 newtons. a second b

diamong [38]

Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

A. (4.9 × 10-14 newtons) · tan(30°)
B. (4.9 × 10-14 newtons) · sin(30°) 
C. (4.9 × 10-14 newtons) · cos(30°) 
D. (4.9 × 10-14 newtons) · arctan(30°) 
E. (4.9 × 10-14 newtons) · arccos(30°)

Force is proportional to the angle made by the velocity with respect to the magnetic field. It is maximum when velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field and minimum when the velocity is parallel to the magnetic field. It is proportional to sin of the angle. In this problem it will be proportional to sin(30)

Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .

What determines if a star turns into a red giant or a red supergiant?

mixer [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

As stars age, they evolve away from the main sequence to become red giants or supergiants. The core of a red giant is contracting, but the outer layers are expanding as a result of hydrogen fusion in a shell outside the core. The star gets larger, redder, and more luminous as it expands and cools.
