The invisible line in which the object rotates or spins is called an axis, which runs through its center of mass. Every planet in our solar system rotates on its axis and has their own North and South Poles, where an axis meets the planet's surface.

The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees relative to our orbital plane around the sun. This gives the Earth it's season, depending on the location and the amount of sunshine it receives from the sun.

Just like Earth, Saturn's axis is also tilted at an angle of about 26.7 degree that also gives the planet its season.

Meanwhile Mercury is known to have the smallest tilt compared to any of the planets in our Solar System. It has an angle of about 1/30 degree and because the planet is gravitationally locked with the Sun in a 3:2 spin orbit-resonance, it's rotation is also unique to the Solar System.

On the other hand, of the four planets being considered, Uranus rotates on an axis that is about 98 degrees away from the line perpendicular to its orbit and (only a few degrees out of parallel to its orbit.).

What enabled the coastal people to develop their culture
liberstina [14]

For more than 10,000 years, Native peoples of the Northwest Coasthave enriched their communities by exchange. From Yakutat Bay in Alaska to the Columbia River in Washington state, Native fishermen and sea hunters traveled north and south by water and east into the interior over mountain passes to trade commodities such as oolichan oil, dentalium shells, copper, and mountain goat wool. In a region of great natural resources, this economy enabled Northwest Coast peoples to develop comfortable and sophisticated societies marked by social ranking, elaborate ceremonial life, and spectacular art created to celebrate the history and prestige of families, clans, and lineages. At feasts, or potlatches—a word from the region’s trading jargon—the status of chiefly families was confirmed by their generosity to their guests. Through lavish gifts of staples and luxuries—including, eventually, non-Native trade goods—communities shared their wealth and maintained social balance.

Encountering the Russians, French, Spanish, English, and Americans who arrived in the 18th century, experienced Native traders were quick to exchange local sea otter and other furs for guns, iron tools, and new materials used to create innovative styles of ceremonial regalia. As the fur trade declined and tourism began to increase, Native people produced objects to appeal to foreign tastes. Miniature versions of the giant totem poles that had captured the imagination of visitors to the coast, argillite carvings, and other new arts entered a collectors’ market, and Northwest Coast artists became known and admired in countries far from their homes.

A company borrows $21,000 to purchase a new piece of equipment. The loan will be repaid in one lump sum at the end of 8 years. T
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

$509

Explanation:

First, we find the lump sum to pay under the bank terms. The interest rate is 0.5% monthly, which is equivalent to 6.2% annually.

The formula is:

P (1 + i)^{n} = X

Where:

  • P = Present value
  • i = interest rate
  • n = number of compounding periods of the interest rate
  • X = lump sum we need to find

Now, we simply plug the amounts into the formula:

$21,000 (1 + 0.062)^{8} = X\\

33,979 = X

Next, we find the value of the lump sum under the company's preferred terms:

21,000 (1 + 0.06)^{8} = X

33,470 = X

Finally, we susbtract the two figures to find the difference:

39,979 - 33,470 = 509
