I'm sure you've noticed that an airplane high in the sky, far away
from you, looks like it's moving very slowly. At the same time,
somebody passing you on a skateboard whizzes past you at
high speed. The farther away something is from you, the slower
it appears to move.
The nearest star outside the solar system is almost 32 thousand times
as far away from us as the farthest visible planet (Saturn) is, and all of the
other stars are farther than that.
That's why you have to wait a few thousand years before you notice
that the shape of a constellation has changed.
To put it a slightly different way . . . Everything is in motion. The motion is
more noticeable for nearby things, and less noticeable for farther-away things.
Objects within our solar system are the only ones near enough so that a human
lifetime is a long enough period in which to notice the change in their position.
Even Pluto moves less then 1.5° against the 'background' stars in a whole year.
This all makes me feel small. How about you ?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a) The initial velocity (u) = 24 m/s
We can solve this problem using the formula:
v² = u² - 2gh
where v = final velocity, g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height.
At maximum height, the final velocity = 0 m/s
v² = u² - 2gh
0² = 24² - 2(9.8)h
2(9.8)h = 24²
2(9.8)h = 576
19.6h = 576
h = 29.4 m
b) The time taken to reach the maximum height is given as:
v = u - gt
0 = 24 - 9.8t
9.8t = 24
t = 2.45 s
The total time needed for the apple to return to its original position = 2t = 2 * 2.45 = 4.9 s
Answer
The intensity of a sound wave depends on the pressure of the wave,density of the medium and speed of sound in the medium. Higher density and higher sound speed both give a lower intensity. and may be it is because that sound wave is more characterize by wavelength than frequency..explanation
Explanation:
As decibel levels get higher, sound waves have greater intensity and sounds are louder. For every 10-decibel increase in the intensity of sound, loudness is 10 times greater. Intensity of sound results from two factors: the amplitude of the sound waves and how far they have traveled from the source of the sound.
Answer:
Explanation:
The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.
So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.
force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so
k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²
8x² = 3 (L+x)²
2√2 x = √3 (L+x)
2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L
x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L
x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )
Let us consider the balancing force on 3q
force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal
kQ . 3q / x² = k3q 8q / L²
Q = 8q (x² / L²)
so charge required = - 8q (x² / L²)
and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )
We are given the gravitational potential energy and the height of the ball and is asked in the problem to determine the mass of the ball. the formula to be followed is PE = mgh where g is the gravitational acceleration equal to 9.81 m/s^2. substituting, 58.8 J = m*9.8 m/s^2 * 30 m; m = 0.2 kg.
