True

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

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 Milankovitch cycles 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.

Answer:

5.3 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for him to fall 7m.

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 7 + (0) t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 7 − 4.9 t²

t ≈ 1.20 s

Now find the velocity he needs to travel 6.3m in that time.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

6.3 = 0 + v₀ (1.20) + ½ (0) (1.20)²

v₀ ≈ 5.27 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the man must run with a speed of 5.3 m/s.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

15.19°, 31.61°, 51.84°

Explanation:

We need to fin the angle for m=1,2,3

We know that the expression for wavelenght is,

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

Substituting,

$\lambda = \frac{344}{1250}$

$\lambda = 0.2752m$

Once we have the wavelenght we can find the angle by the equation of the single slit difraction,

$sin\theta = \frac{m \lambda}{W}$

Where,

W is the width

m is the integer

$\lambda$ the wavelenght

Re-arrange the expression,

$\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{m\lambda}{W}$

For m=1,

$\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{1 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 15.19\°$

For m=2,

$\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{2 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 31.61\°$

For m=3,

$\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{3 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 51.84\°$

The angle of diffraction is directly proportional to the size of the wavelength.
