What is the difference between a constellation and an “asterism”? Name at least one commonly known asterism.

A "constellation" is the total, full, complete thing in the night sky ...
ALL of the stars that go together to make up the complete dog or
the queen or the fish or the bear, or whatever else the story of
that particular part of the sky involves.

An "asterism" is a small, easily recognized group of stars, that
can be spotted right away, although they're only a small part
of a constellation.

The Big Dipper, the Little Dipper, Orion's Belt, and the Great Square
are asterisms. They're parts of the constellations of the Big Bear,
the Little Bear, Orion the Great and Mighty Hunter, and Pegasus,
respectively.

A person strikes a ball with a bat. The temperature of the ball increases by 0.06ᵒC. What accounts for the increase?

marusya05 [52]

The increase in the average kinetic energy of the ball causes the increase in the temperature of the ball.

Kinetic energy of a particle is directly proportional to its temperature.

A ball initially at rest acquires kinetic energy when an external force is applied to it. As the person strikes the ball with a bat, the ball gains momentum which increases its kinetic energy of the ball.

Temperature on the other hand, is the measure of the average kinetic energy of a particle. Consequently, as the kinetic energy of the ball increases, the temperature of the ball increases as well.

Thus, we can conclude that the increase in the average kinetic energy of the ball causes the increase in the temperature of the ball.

An unbanked circular highway curve on level ground makes aturn

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Velocity of traffic $v=60\ mi/hr\approx 26.82\ m/s$

Maximum value of Centripetal force is one-tenth of weight

such that $(F_c)_{max}=\frac{mg}{10}$

to make a safe turn centripetal force with radius of curvature r is given by

$F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$(F_c)_{max}=\frac{mg}{10}=F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$\frac{mg}{10}=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$r=\frac{10v^2}{g}$

$r=\frac{10\times 26.82^2}{9.8}$

$r=733.99\approx 734\ m$

A metal rod has a length of 123. cm at 200°C. At what temperature will the length be 92.6 cm if the coefficient of linear expans

mestny [16]

Answer:

$\theta_{2} = 15400^0 C$

Explanation:

The formula for linear expansivity, $\alpha = \frac{l_{2} - l_{1} }{l_{1} ( \theta_{2} - \theta_{1} )}$

original length, l₁ = 123 cm = 1.23 m

final length, l₁ = 92.6 cm =0.926 m

original temperature, θ₁ = 200°C

Linear expansivity, α = 2 * 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹

Putting these values into the formula:

$2 * 10^{-5} = \frac{1.23 - 0.926 }{l_{1} ( \theta_{2} -200 )}\\ \theta_{2} -200 = \frac{0.304}{2 * 10^{-5} } \\\theta_{2} = 15200 + 200\\\theta_{2} = 15400^0 C$
