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.

An electron in a cathode-ray beam passes between 2.5cm long parallel-plate electrodes that are 6.0mm apart. A 2.1mT, 2.5-cm-wide
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

(a). The speed of electron is 1.56\times10^{7}\ m/s.

(b). The radius of electron is 4.2\ cm

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 2.5 cm

Distance = 6.0 mm

Magnetic field = 2.1 T

Potential difference = 700 V

(a). We need to calculate the electron's speed

Using formula of speed

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2eV}{m}}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times700}{9.1\times10^{-31}}}

v=15689290.81\ m/s

v=1.56\times10^{7}\ m/s

(b). We need to calculate the radius of electron

Using formula of centripetal force

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=qvB

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

Where,

m = mass of electron

v = speed of electron

r = radius

q = charge of electron

B = magnetic field

Put the value into the formula

r=\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}\times1.56\times10^{7}}{1.6\times10^{-19}\times2.1\times10^{-3}}

r=0.042\ m

r=4.2\ cm

Hence, (a). The speed of electron is 1.56\times10^{7}\ m/s.

(b). The radius of electron is 4.2 cm

Answer:

In a third class lever, the effort is located between the load and the fulcrum. ... If the fulcrum is closer to the effort, then the load will move a greater distance. A pair of tweezers, swinging a baseball bat or using your arm to lift something are examples of third class levers.

When the wind kicks up dust and sand, the dust grains are charged. The small grains tend to get a negative charge, and the large
diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Small grains are negatively charged by the wind while big grains is positively charged and remains at the ground . This process creates an electric field due to the presence of oppositely charged particles.

When ever electric field exists it is directed from a positive charge to a negative charge so the here electric field is towards an upwards direction.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

it helps you estimate how hard you're working (your activity intensity). <u>perceived exertion</u> is how hard you think your body is exercising. ratings on the scale are related to heart rate (how hard your heart is working to move blood through your body).
