( Science ) If the sun is far away then why does it look like we get higher than it when we lift a camera high in the sky?

Because the sun stays in the same place but your brain makes you think the sun is descending so your eyes think you're higher than the sun

A figure skater skates across a rink of length 50 m in 12.1 seconds. a. What is the average speed of the skater? (2 points) b. I

melamori03 [73]

(a) The skater covers a distance of S=50 m in a time of t=12.1 s, so its average speed is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{50 m}{12.1 s}=4.13 m/s$

(b) The initial speed of the skater is
$v_i = 4 m/s$
while the final speed is
$v_f = 5.3 m/s$
and the time taken to accelerate to this velocity is t=2 s, so the acceleration of the skater is given by
$a= \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}= \frac{5.3 m/s-4.0 m/s}{2.0 s}=0.65 m/s^2$

(c) The initial speed of the skater is
$v_i = 13.0 m/s$
while the final speed is
$v_f=0$
since she comes to a stop. The distance covered is S=8 m, so we can use the following relationship to find the acceleration of the skater:
$2aS=v_f^2 -v_i^2$
from which we find
$a= \frac{-v_i^2}{2S}= \frac{-(13.0m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 8.0 m}=-10.6 m/s^2$
where the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

Difference between rest and motion

creativ13 [48]

Rest - it is the state in which body doesn’t move from it’s place

motion - it is the state in which body moves from it’s place

You are driving at the speed of 27.7 m/s (61.9764 mph) when suddenly the car in front of you (previously traveling at the same s

densk [106]

Here when car in front of us applied brakes then it is slowing down due to frictional force on it

So here we can say that friction force on the car front of our car is given as

$F_f = \mu m g$

So the acceleration of car due to friction is given as

$F_{net} = - \mu mg$

$a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}$

$a = -\mu g$

now it is given that

$\mu = 0.868$

$g = 9.81 m/s^2$

so here we have

$a = -0.868 * 9.81$

$a = -8.52 m/s^2$

so the car will accelerate due to brakes by a = - 8.52 m/s^2

Which causes the thermocline?

Igoryamba

<span>Thermocline is a layer between warm water from the ocean’s surface and cool water from below the ocean. In here, the temperature decreases rapidly from the warmer layer to the colder layer. A thermocline forms due to the heat of the sun heating the ocean’s surface. Because of the difference in density between warm and cooler ocean water, cooler ocean water sinks and warmer ocean water floats. This is caused due to the heat and mass transfer between particles of the ocean. The answer is letter C. The sun’s radiation does not extend below a certain depth; therefore, deeper ocean water is colder than surface water.</span>
