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.

A bullet of mass 6.20 10-3 kg, moving at 1320 m/s impacts a tree stump and penetrates 11.00 cm into the wood before coming to re
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

  F = -49.1   10³ N

Explanation:

Let's use the kinematics to find the acceleration the acceleration of the bullet that they tell us is constant

   v_{f}² = v₀² + 2 a x

Since the bullet is at rest, the final speed is zero

    x = 11.00 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.110 m

    0 = v₀² + 2 a x

   a = -v₀² / 2 x

   a = -1320²/(2 0.110)

   a = -7.92 10⁶ m / s²

With Newton's second law we find the force

   F = m a

   F = 6.20 10⁻³ (-7.92 10⁶)

   F = -49.1   10³ N

The sign means that it is the force that the tree exerts to stop the   bullet

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A) T.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the orbital period (T) of a satellite is related with the radius (R) and the mass of the object (M) it orbits:

T=\frac{2\pi R^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}  

So the orbital period is independent of the mass of the satellite, that means no matter the mass every satellite at a radius R around the earth have an orbital period A.
