Explain the difference between rotation and revolution. Then use these terms to explain how earth

Physics
1 answer:
natima [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The difference between rotations and revolutions is , when an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an object circles an external axis (like the Earth circles the sun) it is called a revolution.

Explanation:

While rotation means spinning around its own axis, revolution means to move around another object. Taking the example of the Earth, which rotates 366 times to complete one revolution around the Sun.

g (12 points) The time between incoming phone calls at a call center is a random variable with exponential density p(x) = 1 r e
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

(1)p(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x) dx=0

Explanation:

A function f(x) is a Probability Density Function if it satisfies the following conditions:

(1)f(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} f(x) dx=0

Given the function:

p(x)=\dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r} \: on\: [0,\infty), where\:r=\dfrac{20}{ln(2)}

(1)p(x) is greater than zero since the range of exponents of the Euler's number will lie in [0,\infty).

(2)

\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=\int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r}\\=\dfrac{1}{r} \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x/r}\\=-\dfrac{r}{r}\left[e^{-x/r}\right]_{0}^{\infty}\\=-\left[e^{-\infty/r}-e^{-0/r}\right]\\=-e^{-\infty}+e^{-0}\\SInce \: e^{-\infty} \rightarrow 0\\e^{-0}=1\\\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=1

The function p(x) satisfies the conditions for a probability density function.

A spaceship moves radially away from Earth with acceleration 29.4 m/s 2 (about 3g). How much time does it take for sodium street
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

doppler shift's formula for source and receiver moving away from each other:

<em>λ'=λ°√(1+β/1-β)</em>

Explanation:

acceleration of spaceship=α=29.4m/s²

wavelength of sodium lamp=λ°=589nm

as the spaceship is moving away from earth so wavelength of earth should increase w.r.t increasing speed until it vanishes at λ'=700nm

using doppler shift's formula:

<em>λ'=λ°√(1+β/1-β)</em>

putting the values:

700nm=589nm√(1+β/1-β)

after simplifying:

<em>β=0.17</em>

by this we can say that speed at that time is: v=0.17c

to calculate velocity at an acceleration of a=29.4m/s²

we suppose that spaceship started from rest so,

<em>v=v₀+at</em>

where v₀=0

so<em> v=at</em>

as we want to calculate t so:-

<em>t=v/a</em>                                                v=0.17c      ,c=3x10⁸           ,a=29.4m/s²

putting values:

=0.17(3x10⁸m/s)/29.4m/s²

<em>t=1.73x10⁶</em>

Milk with a density of 1020 kg/m3 is transported on a level road in a 9-m-long, 3-m-diameter cylindrical tanker. The tanker is c
jeka57 [31]

Solution :

Given data is :

Density of the milk in the tank, $\rho = 1020 \ kg/m^3$

Length of the tank, x = 9 m

Height of the tank, z = 3 m

Acceleration of the tank, $a_x = 2.5 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the pressure difference between the two points is given by :

$P_2-P_1 = -\rho a_x x - \rho(g+a)z$

Since the tank is completely filled with milk, the vertical acceleration is $a_z = 0$

$P_2-P_1 = -\rho a_x x- \rho g z$

Therefore substituting, we get

$P_2-P_1=-(1020 \times 2.5 \times 7) - (1020 \times 9.81 \times 3)$

           $=-17850 - 30018.6$

           $=-47868.6 \ Pa$

           $=-47.868 \ kPa$

Therefore the maximum pressure difference in the tank is Δp = 47.87 kPa and is located at the bottom of the tank.

The same ball is shot straight up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far befor
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The new height the ball will reach = (1/4) of the initial height it reached.

Explanation:

The energy stored in any spring material is given as (1/2)kx²

This energy is converted to potential energy, mgH, of the ball at its maximum height.

If the initial height reached is H

And the initial compression of the spring = x

So, mgH = (1/2)kx²

H = kx²/2mg

The new compression, x₁ = x/2

New energy of loaded spring = (1/2)kx₁²

And the new potential energy = mgH₁

mgH₁ = (1/2)kx₁²

But x₁ = x/2

mgH₁ = (1/2)k(x/2)² = kx²/8

H₁ = kx²/8mg = H/4 (provided all the other parameters stay constant)

What tells you the strength of a wave?​
castortr0y [4]
The first factor is wind speed, the second factor is wind duration, and the last factor is the fetch, the distance over which the wind blows without a change in direction.

all these factors determines the strength of a wave.

hope this helps :)
