I'm sure you've noticed that an airplane high in the sky, far away
from you, looks like it's moving very slowly. At the same time,
somebody passing you on a skateboard whizzes past you at
high speed. The farther away something is from you, the slower
it appears to move.
The nearest star outside the solar system is almost 32 thousand times
as far away from us as the farthest visible planet (Saturn) is, and all of the
other stars are farther than that.
That's why you have to wait a few thousand years before you notice
that the shape of a constellation has changed.
To put it a slightly different way . . . Everything is in motion. The motion is
more noticeable for nearby things, and less noticeable for farther-away things.
Objects within our solar system are the only ones near enough so that a human
lifetime is a long enough period in which to notice the change in their position.
Even Pluto moves less then 1.5° against the 'background' stars in a whole year.
This all makes me feel small. How about you ?
Pretty sure it’s C. all the others are speeding up. acceleration means gradually (over time) getting faster. So it’s C.
Answer: The theory of Plate Tectonics is now widely accepted because there is sufficient proof to support it, and it is an important aspect of geology, oceanography, geophysics and even paleontology.
Explanation: In places where a plate faced resistance to its movement, it would fold upward and create mountains. Hope this helped! :)
Answer:
The velocity of the motorboat after 6s is 24 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
acceleration of the motorboat, a = 4.0 m/s²
initial velocity of the motorboat, u = 0
time of motion of the motorboat = 6s
Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the velocity of the motorboat after 6 ;
v = u + at
v = 0 + (4 x 6)
v = 24 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the motorboat after 6s is 24 m/s.
Answer:
129.74 Hz
Explanation:
Given:
Wave velocity ( v ) = 346 m / sec
wavelength ( λ ) = 2.69 m
We have to calculate Frequency ( f ) :
We know:
v = λ / t [ f = 1 / t ]
v = λ f
= > f = v / λ
Putting values here we get:
= > f = 346 / 2.69 Hz
= > f = 34600 / 269 Hz
= > f = 129.74 Hz
Hence, frequency of sound is 129.74 Hz.
