The answer is axial precession. Axial precession refers to
the very slow motion of the Earth’s axis, which almost requires twenty-six
thousand (26,000) years to complete a full rotation. This Axial Precession is
caused by the effects of gravitational pull from the Sun and the Moon towards
the Earth.
Answer:
pressure= force/area
A solid resting on a horizontal surfaceexerts a normal contactforce equals to its weight. The pressure of the solid on the surface depends on the area of contact. (b) the area of contact between the two surfaces. The greater the force or the smaller the area the greater the pressure.
Yes, it is because gravity is a force of attraction to the center of our planet, Earth. If we drop a pencil, the pencil will go on the floor. Gravity is pulling the pencil down.
Answer:
v_f = 0.87 m/s
Explanation:
We are given;
F_avg = -17700 N (negative because it's backward)
m = 117 kg
Δt = 5.50 × 10^(−2) s
v_i = 7.45 m/s
Now, formula for impulse is given by;
I = F•Δt = - 17700 x 5.50 × 10^(−2) = - 973.5 kg.m/s
From impulse momentum theory, we know that;
Change in momentum of particle is equal to impulse.
Thus,
Δp = I = m•v_f - m•v_i
Thus,
-973.5= 117(v_f - 7.45)
Thus,
-973.5/117 = (v_f - 7.45)
-8.3205 + 7.45 = v_f
v_f = - 0.87 m/s
We'll take absolute value as;
v_f = 0.87 m/s
