<h2>Answer: twinkling of stars</h2>

The twinkling of the stars is because the light that comes from them is distorted by our planet's atmosphere before it reaches our eyes. As they are very far away and we only see small points of light, this distortion occurs, which is also accentuated the closer an observer on Earth looks towards the horizon.

In general, any light that crosses our atmosphere suffers the consequences of atmospheric turbulence, being the stars more sensitive to this phenomenon due to their incredible distance compared to the planets, whose light does not "flicker".

So, it could be say this phenomenon <u>is a kind of optical illusion</u> because <u>what we really see is a continuous change of position of the star in a tiny region of the sky</u>, which is what makes us perceive that twinkling.

Q 24, 25, 26 i dont get them and need answers for it
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

24) W = 75 [J]; 25) W = 1794[J]; 26) n = 8.8 (times) or 9 (times)

Explanation:

24) This problem can be solved by means of the following equation.

DU = Q-W\\

where:

DU = internal energy difference [J]

Q = Heat transfer [J]

W = work [J]  

Since there are no temperature changes the internal energy change is equal to zero

DU = 0

therefore:

Q = W\\

The work is equal to the heat transfered, W = 75 [J].

25) The heat transfer can be calculated by means of the following equation.

Q = m*c_{p}*DT\\where:\\m = mass = 0.4[kg]\\c_{p} = specific heat = 897[J/kg*K]\\DT= 5 [C]

Q = 0.4*897*5 = 1794[J]

Work is equal to heat transfer, W = 1794[J]

26) Each time the bag falls the potential energy is transformed into heat energy, which is released into the environment. In this way the potential energy is equal to the developed heat.

E_{p}=Q\\\\E_{p}=m*g*h

where:

m = mass = 0.5[kg]

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

h = 1.5 [m]

E_{p}=0.5*9.81*1.5\\E_{p}=7.36[J]

The heat developed can be calculated by means of the following equation.

Q=m*c_{p}*DT\\Q=0.5*130*1\\Q=65[J]

The number of times will be calculated as follows

n = 65/7.36

n = 8.8 (times) or 9 (times)

An object in circular motion has velocity that is constantly changing. The direction of the acceleration is
Keith_Richards [23]
<h2>Answer: Toward the center of the circle.</h2>

This situation is characteristic of the uniform circular motion , in which the movement of a body describes a circumference of a given radius with constant speed.  

However, in this movement the velocity has a constant magnitude, but its direction varies continuously.

Let's say \vec{V} is the velocity vector, whose direction is perpendicular to the radius r of the trajectory, therefore   the acceleration \vec{a} is directed toward the center of the circumference.
