Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s

ame location as Rock X. Both rocks fall for several seconds before landing on the ground directly below the cliff. Frictional forces are considered to be negligible. After Rock Y is released from rest several seconds after Rock X is released from rest, what happens to the separation distance S between the rocks as they fall but before they reach the ground, and why? Take the positive direction to be downward.
A) Sis constant because at the moment Rock Y is released, the only difference between the rocks is their difference in height above the ground.
B) S is constant because the difference in speed between the two rocks stays constant as they fall.
C) S increases because the difference in speed between the two rocks increases as they fall.
D) S increases because at all times Rock X falls with a greater speed than Rock Y

Answer:

<h2>D) S increases because at all times Rock X falls with a greater speed than Rock Y</h2>

Explanation:

As we know that Stone X is dropped first and then after some time stone Y is dropped

Now we have

v_x = gt_1

similarly for Y

v_y = g(t_1 - \Delta t)

now the relative acceleration of two stones while they are in air is ZERO

also we know from above equations

v_x > v_y

so the separation between two stones will keep on increasing as the speed of X is more than the speed of Y

The slow coning pattern of the spin axis of the Earth's precession will move the end of this axis in a complete circle in a peri
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

26000 years

Explanation:

Precession describes the angular motion of the Earth's body. Since the attitude of telescopes relative to the Earth's body can be controlled with high accuracy, and telescopes can measure the direction of incoming light also with high accuracy, the motion of Earth is under permanent high precision monitoring. Thus the basic numerical descriptor of precission, an angular rate of 5029.0966 seconds of arc per Julian century, traditionally denoted p (for precession) is a measured value from observed coordinate changes of thousands of stars over, say, two centuries. The understanding of this value in terms of forces acting on an oblate Earth from the Moon is well understood so that an extrapolation back and forth over a few full cycles contains little uncertainties. Of course, you can find details on the coordinate transformations mentioned above (the direct observational effect of precession) on the net. I was surprised to see that the Wikipedia article on precession covers the astronomical aspect very poorly. You thus better look for other sources.

What scientists do that is the basis of their investigations
matrenka [14]
<span>The "scientific method" consists of forming a hypothesis (a statement about what the researchers think is true), collecting data that might confirm or refute the hypothesis, and then examining the data to see how well or poorly they support the original hypothesis.</span>

What does the vibrating object do to the air particles around it ?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

When an object vibrates, it causes movement in surrounding air molecules. These molecules bump into the molecules close to them, causing them to vibrate as well. This makes them bump into more nearby air molecules.
