Earth's rotational axis completes one precession every _____.

Physics
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]3 years ago
6 0

A). Earth completes one rotation on its rotation axis
every (3 minutes and 56 seconds less than 24 hours).
This causes night and day.  It's rotation, not precession.

B).  Earth completes one orbital revolution around the sun
every (365 plus a little bit) days.  It's revolution, not precession.

C).  I'm not sure what happens on a cycle of 512 years.
It may have something to do with the moon.  But whatever
it is, it's not precession.

D).  When you spin a top and it starts to run down, the first
thing that happens is that the handle of the top, or the point
on top of the top, starts moving in a circle.  That's precession.
That's what the Earth's axis is doing.  The north pole points
toward the north star (Polaris) now.  But the north pole is
actually drawing out a big circle in the sky, and other stars
will become the "north star" far in the future.
The north pole draws out a full circle in the sky, roughly
once every 26,000 years.  That's precession.

Andreyy89

Answer:

A)T=209.94N

B) F=75.24N

Explanation:

Using the free body diagram and according to Newton's first law, we have:

\sum F_y=Tcos(21^\circ)-mg=0(1)\\\sum F_x=F-Tsin(21^\circ)=0(2)

A) Solving (1) for T:

T=\frac{mg}{cos(21^\circ)}\\T=\frac{20kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}{cos(21^\circ)}\\T=209.94N

B) Solving (2) for F:

F=Tsin(21^\circ)\\F=(209.94N)sin(21^\circ)\\F=75.24N

How to calculate displacement in physics?
Dmitry [639]
Here ya go (: In physics, you find displacement by calculating the distance between an object’s initial position and its final position. In physics terms, you often see displacement referred to as the variable s. The official displacement formula is as follows: s = sf – si.

What would the weight of an astronaut be on Saturn if his mass is 68 kg and acceleration of gravity on Saturn is 10.44 m/s2? Ple
alex41 [277]

Here's the part you need to know:

       (Weight of anything) =

                 (the thing's mass)
times
                 (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

                 Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

                   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

                
  Weight =  (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

                        
      =    709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only  9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

                                   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                               =    666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes. 

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.
