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.

What is the leading hypothesis for the origin of short gamma-ray bursts?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Gamma rays are the most energetic form of rays. A gamma ray burst can emit a large amount of energy in a very short interval of time. In fact, a short gamma-ray burst occurs in less than 2 seconds.  A leading hypothesis states that when two neutron stars merge or when a neutron star merges with a black hole, short gamma-ray burst originates. Such merger are expected to produce kilonovoe.

A wave emitted from a source has a frequency of 10 Hz and wavelength 2.5 m. How much time will it take to reach a person located
const2013 [10]

Answer:

time taken by the wave to reach the person is 0.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as

v = \lambda f

here we know that the wavelength of the wave is

\lambda = 2.5 m

f = 10 Hz

now speed of the wave is given as

v = 10(2.5)

v = 25 m/s

Now time taken by the wave to reach 5 m distance is

t = \frac{L}{v}

t = \frac{5}{25}

t = 0.2 s

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use which type of satellite system?
inessss [21]

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use "Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The umbrella term for all global satellite tracking systems is GNSS i.e Global Satellite Navigation System. This involves satellite constellations circulating over the surface of the earth and continuous signal transmission that allow users to evaluate their location.

A satellite array of 18–30 medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites distributed across several orbital planes typically achieves greater coverage for each network. The specific systems differ, but use > 50 ° orbital inclinations and approximately twelve hours orbital cycles.
