The ecliptic is the line in the celestial sphere traced out by the sun as the rotates (the path in the sky that the sun takes over head during one 24hr day). The celestial equator is just the extension of the regular equator on the surface of the earth.

This means that there will be a "tilt" between the ecliptic and the celestial equator that depends on your latitude of the observers location on the earths surface.

The atlas stone’s is a strong man competition where athletes have to load 5 stones of masses 100kg, 120kg, 140kg, 160kg and 180k
lyudmila [28]

Answer: 6250 joules

Explanation:

The work needed to lift an object of mass M by a height H is equal to:

w = M*g*H

where h = 10m/s^2

then the total work that he did is equal to the sum of the work for every stone:

W = (100kg*g*H) + (120kg*g*H) + (140kg*g*H) + (160kg*g*H) + (180kg*g*H)

 = (100kg + 120kg + 140kg + 160kg + 180kg)*g*H

= (500kg)*g*H

and now we can repalce g by 10m/s^2 and H by 125cm

But you can notice that we have two different units of distance, so knowing that 100cm = 1m

we can write H =  125cm = (125/100) m = 1.25 m

Then we have:

H = 500kg*10m/s^2*1.25m = 6250 J

What velocity does a 2kg mass have when its kinetic energy is 16 J
alexandr402 [8]
We can use the equation for kinetic energy, K=1/2mv².
Your given variables are already in the correct units, so we can just plug in the variables and solve for v. 

K = 1/2mv²
16 = 1/2(2)v²
16 = (1)v²
√16 = v
v = 4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of a 2 kg mass with 16 J of kinetic energy is 4 m/s.
Hope this is helpful!
