Answer:
A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth
Explanation:
The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.
Let's see instead the names of the other options:
B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth --> this point is called apogee
C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun --> this point is called perihelion
D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name
Answer:
Explanation:
given,
side slope = 1 : 1
hydraulic depth(y) = 5 ft
bottom width (b)= 8 ft
x = 1
Q = 2,312 ft³/s
n = 0.013
slope of channel = ?
R = 4.69 m
using manning's equation
S = 0.406
Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.
Hope this help
Look at the title of the graph, in small print under it.
Each point is "compared to 1950-1980 baseline". So the set of data for those years is being compared to itself. No wonder it matches up pretty close !
Answer:
Star A is closer than Star B
Explanation:
As we know that in parallax method of distance measurement the angle subtended by the star when it covers a distance of one Parsec arc length, it is known as parallax angle
Here we can say
so we have
so here we have
angle subtended by Star A = 1 arc sec
angle subtended by star B = 0.75 arc sec
now we have
distance for star A is given as
distance of star B is given as
So star A is closer than star B
