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

Physics
1 answer:
yanalaym [24]3 years ago

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.

4. If you swing wide to the left before turning right, another driver may try to pass you on the right. True or False
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Don't turn wide to the left as you start the turn. A driver behind may think you are turning left and try to pass you on the right. You may crash into the other vehicle as you complete your turn.

Instead, slowly give yourself and others more time to avoid problems, keep the rear of the vehicle close to the curb. This will stop other drivers from passing you on the right. This is called (button Hook)

If you are driving a truck or bus that cannot make the right turn without swinging into the other lane, turn wide as you complete the turn.

Which of the following is an example of acceleration?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

When a satellite is orbiting the earth , a constant force is being applied on it which means it must has acceleration. Also the direction of satellite is always being changed when it is orbitting to there is always change in the velocity vector which means acceleration.

You can view in the attached diagram to understand how the velocity is being changed.

Use a(t) = -32 feet per second per second as the acceleration due to gravity. (Neglect air resistance.) -With what initial veloc
Kitty [74]

Answer:

u= 187.61 ft/s

Explanation:

Given that

g= - 32 ft/s²

The maximum height ,h= 550 ft

Lets take the initial velocity = u ft/s

We know that

v²=u² + 2 g s

v=final speed ,u=initial speed ,s=height

When the object reach at the maximum height then the final speed of the object will become zero.

That is why

u²= 2 x 32 x 550

u²= 35200

u= 187.61 ft/s

That is why the initial speed will be 187.61 ft/s

Where is UTC the local time?
Dmitrij [34]

UTC is generally adopted as the local time at Prime Meridian (PM).

<h3>What is UTC?</h3>

UTC is an abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time and it can be defined as a local time standard by which all clocks, time and time zones are regulated around the world.

This ultimately implies that, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is generally adopted as the local time at Prime Meridian (PM) because it nominally reflects mean solar time.
