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.

The radius of a small ball is around 3.79747 cm. The radius of a basketball is about 3.16 times larger. What is the ratio of the
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Explanation:

The ratio of the areas is the square of the ratio of the radii.

A/A = 3.16² = 9.99

The ratio of the volumes is the cube of the ratio of the radii.

V/V = 3.16³ = 31.6

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!
gladu [14]

Here given that x is inversely depends of y

so as we increase the value of y so due to inverse dependency it will decrease the value of x

So here we can also say that when x inversely depends on y

so the product of x and y will remain constant here

so here the graph should be like this that if we increase the quantity on x axis then it will decrease the other quantity on y axis

<u><em>So here best appropriate graph must be option A</em></u>

Vlada [557]

Answer:

T = 3.23 s

Explanation:

In the simple harmonic movement of a spring with a mass the angular velocity is given by

               w = √ K / m

With the initial data let's look for the ratio k / m

The angular velocity is related to the frequency and period

           w = 2π f = 2π / T

            2π / T = √ k / m

            k₀ / m₀ = (2π / T)²

            k₀ / m₀ = (2π / 3.0)²

            k₀ / m₀ = 4.3865

The period on the new planet is

          2π / T = √ k / m

           T = 2π √ m / k

In this case the amounts are

           m = 6 m₀

           k = 10 k₀

We replace

            T = 2π√6m₀ / 10k₀

            T = 2π √6/10 √m₀ / k₀

            T = 2π √ 0.6  √1 / 4.3865

            T = 3.23 s
