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

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.

Now, consider whether the following statements are true or false:_____________________________________.
Igoryamba

Answer:

A)F

B)F

C)T

Explanation:

A)

This is not always true that the product of the two vector's always non-negative .It may be positive or negative.

That is why this statement is false.

B)

The unit vectors in three perpendicular direction is i ,j and k.

We know that for unit vectors

i.i=j.j=k.k= 1

i .j= j.k=k.i=0

Therefore only  parallel component of the force will contribute in the integral part instead of perpendicular component of the force.

That is why this statement is false.

C)

This statement is True.

A)F

B)F

C)T

a deer with a mass of 176 kg is running head-on towards you with a velocity of 19 m/s. you are going north. find the magnitude a
Igoryamba

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

According to this formula,

Momentum of deer = 176 × 19 = 3344 kg•m/s.

Since you are heading north and the deer is running towards you, the direction of the deer' s momentum is north as well.

Urgent! Based on the diagram below, what color will each pigmented paper appear to be to an observer?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Example A will appear green, while Example B will appear greenish-blue.

Explanation:

The color of an object depend on which part of the visible light it reflects towards the observer. Visible light is made up of seven colors: Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red (VIBGYOR). If all the colors will be reflected object will appear white. If all the colors are absorbed the object appears black. In example A, only green color is being reflected so it will appear <em>Green</em>.

In example B, green and blue are being reflected so the object will appear a mix of green and blue. This color is cyan (greenish blue).

A typical wall outlet voltage in the United States is 120 volts. Personal MP3 players require much smaller voltages, typically 4
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Number of turns on the secondary coil of the adapter transformer is 10.

Explanation:

For a transformer,

    \frac{V_{s} }{V_{p} } = \frac{N_{s} }{N_{p} }

where V_{s} is the voltage induced in the secondary coil

           V_{p} is the voltage in the primary coil

          N_{s} is the number of turns of secondary coil

         N_{p} is the number of turns of primary coil

From the given question,

    \frac{487*10^{-3} }{120} = \frac{N_{s} }{2464}

⇒    N_{s} = \frac{2462*487*10^{-3} }{120}

            = 9.999733

  ∴   N_{s} = 10 turns
