Why does the Polaris appear to remain stationary in the night sky when other stars show an apparent pattern?

Physics

Because one pole of the Earth's axis of rotation (the North one) points
almost exactly toward Polaris.

If Polaris had a pimple or a bump somewhere on its edge, you'd see
the bump rotate around the whole edge, like a clock, once a day.  But
the whole star appears to stay in one place, because our axis points to it.

A major difference between AC and DC electricity is that A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction. B)
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

In DC current and voltage the direction of current will not change with time and it always remains the same.

So here in DC voltage and DC current the magnitude may change with time but the direction will always remain same

While in AC voltage and AC current the direction of AC will change with time

periodically.

So here magnitude and direction both will change in AC current and AC voltage.

so the correct answer is

A)     the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

A 2100 g block is pushed by an external force against a spring (with a 22 N/cm spring constant) until the spring is compressed b
Vilka [71]

Answer:

6.5e-4 m

Explanation:

We need to solve this question using law of conservation of energy

Energy at the bottom of the incline= energy at the point where the block will stop

Therefore, Energy at the bottom of the incline consists of the potential energy stored in spring and gravitational potential energy=\frac{1}{2} kx^{2} +PE1

Energy at the point where the block will stop consists of only gravitational potential energy=PE2

Hence from Energy at the bottom of the incline= energy at the point where the block will stop

⇒\frac{1}{2} kx^{2} +PE1=PE2

⇒PE2-PE1=\frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

Also PE2-PE2=mgh

where m is the mass of block

g is acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/s

h is the difference in height between two positions

⇒mgh=\frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

Given m=2100kg

k=22N/cm=2200N/m

x=11cm=0.11 m

∴2100*9.8*h=\frac{1}{2}*2200*0.11^{2}

⇒20580*h=13.31

⇒h=\frac{13.31}{20580}

⇒h=0.0006467m=6.5e-4
