<u>Answer:</u>

The spinning of the earth around its own axis causes day and night.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth has two types of motions. It spins around its own axis causing day and night every 12 hours and completes a rotation in 23.93 hours that make a full day. The part of the earth that faces sunlight during spinning experiences day and the other part has night.  It also rotates around the sun and completes one rotation in 365 days that makes a year.

Hunter-Best [27]
Heat energy caused by friction is usually a waste product that results when energy is destroyed or dissappears.
Friction converts useful kinetic energy into thermal energy or heat. Friction gets a bad rap for turning useful energy into useless energy.

A 1.1-kg object is suspended from a vertical spring whose spring constant is 120 N/m. (a) Find the amount by which the spring is
andriy [413]

Answer:

e = 0.0898m

v = 2.07m/s

Explanation:

a) According to Hooke's law

F = ke

e is the extension

k is the spring constant

Since F = mg

mg = ke

e = mg/k

Substitute the given value

e = 1.1(9.8)/120

e = 10.78/120

e = 0.0898m

Hence it is stretched by 0.0898m from its unstrained length

2) Total Energy = PE+KE+Elastic potential

Total Energy = mgh +1/2mv²+1/2ke²

Substitute the given value

5.0= 1.1(9.8)(0.2)+1/2(1.1)v²+1/2(120)(0.0898)²

Solve for v

5.0 = 2.156+0.55v²+0.48338

5.0-2.156-0.48338= 0.55v²

2.36 =0.55v²

v² = 2.36/0.55

v² = 4.29

v ,= √4.29

v = 2.07m/s

Hence the required velocity is 9.28m/s

Earl is using his hands to hold a metal pan 10 centimeters above a hot burner. How can this scenario be changed to demonstrate c
Olenka [21]

Answer: touch the pan to the burner

Explanation:

There are three modes of heat transfer:

conduction, convection and radiation.  

For conduction, the heat transfers from a hot object to a cold object when the two are in contact.

For convection there is bulk motion of fluid occurs which transfers the heat.

For heat transfer by radiation, medium is not required.

Thus, to demonstrate conduction between pan and burner, the pan must touch the burner.

If Star A is magnitude 1.0 and Star B is magnitude 9.6 , which is brighter and by what factor?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Star A is brighter than Star B by a factor of 2754.22

Explanation:

Lets assume,

the magnitude of star A = m₁ = 1

the magnitude of star B = m₂ = 9.6

the apparent brightness of star A and star B are b₁ and b₂ respectively

Then, relation between the difference of magnitudes and apparent brightness of two stars are related as give below: (m_{2} - m_{1}) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

The current magnitude scale followed was formalized by Sir Norman Pogson in 1856. On this scale a magnitude 1 star is 2.512 times brighter than magnitude 2 star. A magnitude 2 star is 2.512 time brighter than a magnitude 3 star. That means a magnitude 1 star is (2.512x2.512) brighter than magnitude 3 bright star.

We need to find the factor by which star A is brighter than star B. Using the equation given above,

(9.6 - 1) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

\frac{8.6}{2.5}  = \log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 3.44

Thus,

(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 2754.22

It means star A is 2754.22 time brighter than Star B.
