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

Physics

Dafna11 [192]4 years ago

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.

claculate the pressure exerted by the water on the bottom of a deep dam of 12m from its surface .(density of water =1000kg/m sqa
Rudiy27

Explanation:

We know that,

hydrostatic \: pressure (p) =   \alpha hg

Where,

\alpha  = density \: of \: water \:  = 1000

h = Height at which pressure is to be calculated

p = 1000 \times 12 \times 9.8 = 117600 \:

А geostationary satellite moves in an orbit of radius 6300km. Calculate the speed with which it moves in the orbit [π=22÷7]​
azamat

Answer:

15.3 m/s

Explanation:

Radius of orbit= 6400+6300 = 12700 km

Circumference of orbit= 2*(22/7)*12700 =79796.45*10^3 m

Now,

       Speed= Distance / Time

                  = 79796.45*10^3/(24*60*3600)

                  = 15.3 m/s

The mass of 1 dozen dimes is 27.22 g. the numerical value of the mass of 5 dozen dimes can be obtained by
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

by obtaining the total mass of the dimes present:

d = 27.22 g / dozen       the density of dimes

M = n * d = 5 dozen * 27.22 g / dozen = 126.1 g

A bullet is dropped into a river from a very high bridge. At the same time, another bullet is fired from a gun straight down tow
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

As a ball dropped into a river, its initial velocity is zero and then it is moving under the acceleration due to gravity. That means the acceleration on the ball is in vertically downwards direction which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity that means - 9.8 m/s^2.

When a bullet is fired from a gun straight downwards direction, the acceleration on the bullet is again acceleration due to gravity and it is acting acting downwards. In this case the initial velocity os not zero but acceleration is - 9.8 m/s^2.
