Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.
Hubble noticed that the galaxies were moving away from us, which meant the universe was expanding.
This is why constellations change over time. In some years, the Big Dipper won't actually look like a dipper anymore.
The category of galaxy which does not have a distinctive shape is D. an irregular galaxy.
A spiral galaxy has a spiral shape, an elliptical galaxy has an elliptical shape, and a barred-spiral galaxy has a barred-spiral shape. The only galaxy type which does not have a constant shape is an irregular galaxy.
Answer: Acceleration will have 2 components, vertical and horizontal.
Net-vertical component can be positive, zero or negative depending upon the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration.
Net-horizontal acceleration will be equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration.
Explanation:
Since acceleration is a vector quantity and the cart is being pushed up the ramp, the ramp would be at some angle to the horizontal and hence there will be vertical and horizontal components of acceleration.
<u>For vertical acceleration:</u>
If the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration is greater than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be upward because it will overtake the value of acceleration due to gravity.
In case the upward component of the applied acceleration is lesser than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be downward.
<u>For horizontal acceleration:</u>
This component remains unaffected and is equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration because there is no other acceleration acting in the horizontal direction.
But the net acceleration will not be solely in the vertical or horizontal direction because the block has to move forward on the inclined ramp so there will always exist a horizontal and a vertical component making the net acceleration to parallel to the ramp in upward direction if the body is going up the ramp.
