21. light changes its direction when travelling through a new medium because denser mediums have a higher angle of refraction.
Answer:
While the bus is moving, luggage tends to remain in inertia of motion state. When the bus stops, the luggage tends to resist the change and due to inertia of motion it moves forward and may fall off. That's why it is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope.
Gravitational force is given by,
Where, m and M are the masses of the objects, R is the distance between them and G gravitational constant.
Gravitational force of the star on planet 1,
Gravitational force of the star on planet 2,
Ratio,
Therefore, the gravitational force of the star on the planet 1 is three times that on planet 2.
Answer:
1. The precession of the equinoxes.
2. Changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun.
3. Variations in the eccentricity
Explanation:
These variations listed above; the precession of the equinoxes (refers, changes in the timing of the seasons of summer and winter), this occurs on a roughly about 26,000-year interval; changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, this occurs roughly in a 41,000-year interval; and changes in the eccentricity (that is a departure from a perfect circle) of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, occurring on a roughly 100,000-year timescale. which influences the mean annual solar radiation at the top of Earth’s atmosphere.
