What is the ecliptic, and why is it tilted with respect to the celestial equator?

Physics

Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago

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.

An automobile has a mass of 1200 kg. what is its kinetic energy, in kj, relative to the road when traveling at a velocity of 50
snow_lady [41]
One thing you should notice. It is kind of weird. Ke has no direction so that fact that it has velocities associated with it does not matter. It becomes a scaler (something measured by amount alone).

General Formula
Ke = 1/2 m v^2
Formula for this problem
Ke = 1/2 m (v2)^2 - 1/2 m (v1)^2

Givens
m = 1200 kg
v2 = 100 km/hr = 100 km/h * [1 hour / 3600 sec] * [1000 m/ 1km] = 27.8 m/s
v1 = 50 km / hr = 13.9 m/s

Substitution and work.
================
delta Ke = 1/2 1200 (27.8)^2 - 1/2 1200 (13.9)^2
delta Ke = 463704 - 115926
delta Ke = 34778 Joules
delta Ke = 34.8 kJ

The change is 34.8 kJ which means that the vehicle gains 34.8 kJ

A flat screen is located 0.55 m away from a single slit. Light with a wavelength of 544 nm (in vacuum) shines through the slit a
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern is given as

Sinθ = mλ/ω

Where m=1,2,3,4....

Now, when m=1

Sinθ = λ/ω

Then,

ω = λ/Sinθ

The width of the central bright fringe is given as

y=2Ltanθ. From trigonometric

Then,

θ=arctan(y/2L)

Given that,

y=0.052m

L=0.55m

θ=arctan(0.052/2×0.55)

θ=arctan(0.0473)

θ=2.71°

Substituting this into

ω = λ/Sinθ

Since λ=544nm=544×10^-9m

Then,

ω = 544×10^-9/Si.2.71

ω = 1.15×10^-5m.
