Earth's rotational axis completes one precession every _____.

Physics
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]4 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.

A floating leaf oscillates up and down two complete cycles in one second as a water wave passes by. The wave's wavelength is 10
postnew [5]

Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s

Why can't heat be transferred between two objects that have the same temperature
Inessa [10]

Answer: Because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in the system. The zeroth law of thermodynamics says that no heat is transferred between two objects in thermal equilibrium; therefore, they are the same temperature.

. Assume you have a dot grid with 36 dots per sq.in. How many acres are represented by each dot using the following map scales:
elixir [45]

Answer:

a) 0.069 acres

b) 0.114acres

c) 17.78acres

Explanation:

1 dot=1/36sqin

a) 1 sqin= 330×330=108900ft^2

1 dot=108900/36 =3025ft^2

Converting to acre,divide by43560

3025/43560 =0.069acre

b) 1 chain =22 yards

25×22=550yards

Converting to acre divide by 4840

550/4840 =0.114acre

c)1 sqmile =640acres

(1/36) ÷ 640

640/36

17.78acres

How often must you check the temperature of food that is being held with temperature control?.
loris [4]

You need to check the temperature of food being stored in a temperature-controlled environment every four hours. The process of changing a space's temperature is called temperature control.

Cooking food alone may not be enough to avoid food poisoning, though, if the bacteria in food are allowed to grow to large numbers. When the temperature is between 5°C and 63°C, bacteria can grow. The risk zone is the range between 5°C and 63°C.

Temperature control is a process where the passage of heat energy into or out of a space or substance is adjusted to achieve the desired temperature. This process involves measuring or otherwise detecting changes in the temperature of the space (and all of the objects contained therein) or of the substance.
