Answer:

b) the earth did not orbit the sun

Explanation:

The sun appears to move through the background stars due to parallax . Parallax is a phenomenon when the near object appears to move faster than the distant object . If we travel in a train , the near object like electric poles on rail track or trees and fields nearby appear to move faster against the distant background .

Hence when the earth moves around the sun , the sun appears to move against the background the stars which are far away . Had earth remained stationary at a place on its orbit around the sun , the sun would have appeared stationary against the background the   stars .

An 67-kg jogger is heading due east at a speed of 2.3 m/s. A 70-kg jogger is heading 61 ° north of east at a speed of 1.3 m/s. F
ololo11 [35]

Answer

given,

mass of jogger  = 67 kg

speed in east direction = 2.3 m/s

mass of jogger 2 = 70 Kg

speed  = 1.3 m/s  in  61 ° north of east.

jogger one

P_1 = m_1 v_1 \hat{i}

P_1 = 67 \times 2.3\hat{i}

P_1 = 154.1 \hat{i}

P_2 = m_2 v_2 \hat{i} +m_2 v_2 \hat{j}

P_2 = 70\times v cos \theta \hat{i} +70\times v sin \theta \hat{j}

P_2 = 70\times 1.3 cos 61^0 \hat{i} +70\times 1.3 sin 61^0\hat{j}

P_2 = 44.12\hat{i} +79.59\hat{j}

now

P = P₁ + P₂

P = 198.22 \hat{i} +79.59 \hat{j}

magnitude

P = \sqrt{198.22^2 + 79.59^2}

P =213.60 kg.m/s

\theta = tan^{-1}\dfrac{79.59}{198.22}

\theta = 21.87

the angle is \theta = 21.87 north of east

Explanation:

Calculation for the depreciation on the building for 2021

First step is to calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2019 and 2020 using this formula

Depreciation expense = (Purchase price - Residual value) ÷ (Useful life)

Let plug in the formula

Depreciation expense= ($9,300,000 - $1,300,000) ÷ (20 years)

Depreciation expense= ($8,000,000) ÷ (20 years)

Depreciation expense= $400,000

Second step is to calculate the book value for the year 2021 using this formula

Book value = Purchase price - Depreciation expenses *2 years

Let plug in the formula

Book value= $9,300,000 - $400,000 × 2

Book value= $8,500,000

Last step is to calculate the depreciation for 2021 using this formula

2021 Depreciation=(Book value-Residual value)÷Useful life

2021 Depreciation= ($8,500,000 - $530,000) ÷ (15 years - 2 years)

2021 Depreciation=$7,970,000÷13 years

2021 Depreciation= $613,077

Therefore the depreciation on the building for 2021 will be $613,077
