If you are standing at Earth’s North Pole, which of the following will be directly overhead?
1 answer:
The north celestial pole (and also the south) are described as two imaginary points that project on the axis of rotation of the earth, indefinitely towards space and that intersects with the celestial sphere (Remember that the earth has a slight inclination with respect to to its axis of rotation). The north and south celestial poles are directly above the head of someone located at the north or south pole of the earth.

Answer:
26.8 seconds
Explanation:
To solve this problem we have to use 2 kinematics equations: *I can't use subscripts for some reason on here so I am going to use these variables:
v = final velocity
z = initial velocity
x = distance
t = time
a = acceleration
First let's find the final velocity the plane will have at the end of the runway using the first equation:
Now we can plug this into the second equation to find t:
Then using 3 significant figures we round to 26.8 seconds
