Why do astronomers use the word on to describe angles on the sky rather than angles in the sky?

Physics
1 answer:
Sever21 [200]3 years ago
8 0
<span>The use of the word on instead of the word in when referring to the angular distance between celestial objects comes about because all of the objects appear to be on the celestial sphere and at an indeterminable distance. While we know that objects are at different distances in the sky, their distance from Earth is irrelevant in determining the angular distance between the two objects as viewed from Earth.</span>

A child is riding in a wagon. What reference frame might have been used if an observer said the child was not moving.
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

the wagon should be used as frame of reference if an observer said the child was not moving.

Explanation:

The state of motion of a body depends upon the frame of reference. It is the set of co-ordinates according to which the motion is analyzed. If a child is riding in a wagon, then he will be considered in motion to a person standing outside the wagon. Hence, if we take a frame of reference outside the wagon then the child must be in motion with respect to the observer. On the other hand if the observer is inside the wagon, then the child must be in rest with respect to the observer. Hence, if we take the wagon to be the frame of reference, then the child will be at rest with respect to the observer.

<u>Therefore, the wagon should be used as frame of reference if an observer said the child was not moving.</u>

A boy wants to measure the depth of a well. When he drops a stone from the top of the well, he hears the sound made by the stone
Alexus [3.1K]

To solve the problem we apply the motion kinematic equations as well as the techniques used to solve second order polynomial equations.

By definition we know that the height of a body is given by the function

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_i*t+h-0

As there is no initial speed or a distance previously traveled, the equation is:

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where,

g = Gravitational acceleration

t = time

h= Height

Rearranging to find the time we have,

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Then, the sound of the splash take a time \frac{h}{v} to travel back, therefore, in time, it is necessary to adhere the new term, which converts the final time into:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\frac{h}{v}

If we make a similarity to the polynomial equation of the second degree where x = \sqrt {h}> 0 we have to:

\frac{1}{v} x^2 +\sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}x-t = 0

Solving to find x (which is equivalent to x ^ 2) we have to:

x = \pm 3.253

Since the positive distance is what allows us to find the actual distance traveled we have finally to

h = x^2 = 10.58 m

The correct answer is B.
