Answer: orbit

Explanation:

Our sky is divided into 88 areas known as constellations. These constellations are identified by the brightest stars of these areas forming a recognizable pattern. As the Earth travels in its orbit around the Sun, different constellations are visible at different times of the year. This is because different part of the sky is visible as earth goes around the Sun.

Thus, As Earth travels in its orbit different constellations are visible at different times of the year.

A student says that a speed of 50 m/s is faster than a speed of 140 km/h because the number is bigger. What would you say to the

ladessa [460]

The units are not consistent - 1 m/s is not the same as 1 km/h.

First thing to do would be to convert from one unit of speed to the other, say km/h to m/s. There are 1000 meters (m) for every kilometer (km) and 3600 seconds (s) for every hour (h), so

$1\,\dfrac{\mathrm{km}}{\mathrm h}\cdot\dfrac{10^3\,\mathrm m}{\mathrm{km}}\cdot\dfrac{\mathrm h}{3600\,\mathrm s}\approx0.278\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

So in fact 1 km/h is about 4 times slower than 1 m/s.

earth orbits the sun once every 365.25 days. Find the average angular. speed of Earth about the sun.Answer in units of rad/s.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

$1.99\cdot 10^{-7} rad/s$

Explanation:

The average angular speed of the Earth about the Sun is given by:

$\omega = \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

where

$2 \pi$ rad is the total angle corresponding to one revolution of the Earth around the Sun

T is the orbital period of the Earth

The orbital period of the Earth is 365.25 d. We must convert it into seconds first:

$T=365.25 d \cdot (24 h/d) \cdot (60 min/h) \cdot (60 s/min)=3.16\cdot 10^7 s$

And by substituting into the equation above, we find the average angular speed:

$\omega=\frac{2 \pi rad}{3.16\cdot 10^7 m/s}=1.99\cdot 10^{-7} rad/s$
