Earth’s axis slowly but continuously points in different directions. True or False

Physics

True

Earth’s axis slowly but continuously points in different directions in a phenomenon called <u>axial precession</u>.

Explanation:

The tilt of the earth is not constant at 23.5 degrees.  Rather the earth's axis precesses in a cycle of approximately 25,772 years. This slow precession can have an apparent effect on climate on earth, especially in conjunction with <em>Milankovitch cycles</em> like aphelion and perihelion. Due to the axial precession, the poles can be facing to or away from the sun during aphelion or perihelion. This consequently can affect the cover ice sheet and glacier in the poles due to the time of exposure to sun rays.

Heating gas to create plasma can yield?
leva [86]
When a gas is heated to become a plasma, the atoms (or the molecules) of the gas become ionised. In the ionisation, the atoms loose electrons from the exterior energy levels and thus heating to achieve a plasma will create free electrons and ionized atoms (or ionized molecules).

A plasma can not contain neutrons, because neutrons together with protons make the nuclei of the atoms. To free the neutrons from the atomn nuclei there would be necessary HUGE temperatures.

Also a plasma does not contain neutral elements (atoms) or (neutral) molecules, but Ionized atoms and/or molecules and free electrons.

Thus the good answer is d)

A truck has a velocity of 25 m/s and a momentum of 25.000 kg*m/s. What is its<br> mass?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

1000kg

Explanation:

We can use the equation "p=mv"

  • p is the momentum in kg m/s
  • m is the mass measured in kg
  • v is the velocity measured in m/s

If we rearrange the equation to find mass (m), then the equation becomes:

m=p/v

We can substitute in the values of p and v as they are already given in the question.

  • p=25,000 kg m/s
  • v= 25 m/s

So, now we just substitute in the values to get our answer.

m=p/v

m=25,000/25

m=1000kg
