Earth's rotation is the rotation of the planet Earth around its own axis. The Earth rotates from the west towards east. As viewed from North Star or polestar Polaris, the Earth turns counter-clockwise.

The North Pole, also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is the point in the Northern Hemisphere where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface. This point is distinct from the Earth's North Magnetic Pole. The South Pole is the other point where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface, in Antarctica.

The Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the sun and once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds with respect to the stars (see below). Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation. Atomic clocks show that a modern-day is longer by about 1.7 milliseconds than a century ago,[1] slowly increasing the rate at which UTC is adjusted by leap seconds. Analysis of historical astronomical records shows a slowing trend of 2.3 milliseconds per century since the 8th century BCE.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The ball impact velocity i.e(velocity right before landing) is 6.359 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is related to parabolic motion and can be solved by the following equations:

x=V_{o}cos \theta t----------------------(1)

y=y_{o}+V_{o} sin \theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}---------(2)

V=V_{o}-gt ----------------------- (3)

Where:

x = m is the horizontal distance travelled by the golf ball

V_{o} is the golf ball's initial velocity

\theta=0\° is the angle (it was  a horizontal shot)

t is the time

y is the final height of the ball

y_{o} is the initial height of the ball

g is the acceleration due gravity

V is the final velocity of the ball

Step 1: finding t

Let use the equation(2)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (12.5 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}

t=1.597s

Substituting (6) in (1):

67.1 =V_{o} cos(0\°) 1.597-------------------(4)

Step 2:  Finding V_{o}:

From equation(4)

67.1 =V_{o}(1) 1.597

V_0 = \frac{6.71}{1.597}

V_{o}=42.01 m/s (8)  

Substituting V_{o} in (3):

V=42.01 -(9.8)(1.597)

v =42 .01 - 15.3566  

V=26.359 m/s

Explain the importance of measurement<br>Physics.<br><br>​
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Measurements are an important part of comparing things, as they provide the basis on comparing objects to other objects. Measurements allow us to recognize three hours and see how it's shorter than five hours, without having to observe the hours passing by themselves.

3. How much work is done when you pull a 6 N wagon for 5 meters?
8090 [49]

Answer:

<h2>30 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question

force = 6 N

distance = 5 m

We have

workdone = 6 × 5 = 30

We have the final answer as

<h3>30 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
