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.

What type of front involves fast moving thunderstorms and severe weather?
Lapatulllka [165]
The answer is "Cold Front".

A cold front is characterized as the change zone where a cool air mass is supplanting a hotter air mass. Cold fronts for the most part move from northwest to southeast. The air behind a cold front is recognizably colder and drier than the air in front of it.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

v = 11.0 m/s at 198.6° (18.6° south of west)

ΔKE = -145 kJ

Explanation:

I assume you want to find the final velocity and the change in kinetic energy.

Take east to be +x and north to be +y.

Momentum is conserved in the x direction:

(1050 kg) (0 m/s) + (750 kg) (-25.0 m/s) = (1050 kg + 750 kg) vₓ

vₓ = -10.4 m/s

Momentum is conserved in the y direction:

(1050 kg) (-6.00 m/s) + (750 kg) (0 m/s) = (1050 kg + 750 kg) vᵧ

vᵧ = -3.50 m/s

The magnitude of the final velocity is:

v² = (-10.4 m/s)² + (-3.50 m/s)²

v = 11.0 m/s

The direction of the final velocity is:

θ = atan(-3.50 m/s / -10.4 m/s)

θ = 198.6°

The initial kinetic energy is:

KE₀ = ½ (1050 kg) (6.00 m/s)² + ½ (750 kg) (25.0 m/s)²

KE₀ = 253,275 J

The final kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ (1800 kg) (11.0 m/s)²

KE = 108,682 J

The change in kinetic energy is:

ΔKE = 108,682 J − 253,275 J

ΔKE ≈ -145,000 J
