Why do the planets appear in different locations in the night sky while the pattern of stars in a constellation stays the same?
Goshia [24]
I'm sure you've noticed that an airplane high in the sky, far away
from you, looks like it's moving very slowly.  At the same time,
somebody passing you on a skateboard whizzes past you at
high speed.  The farther away something is from you, the slower
it appears to move.

The nearest star outside the solar system is almost 32 thousand times
as far away from us as the farthest visible planet (Saturn) is, and all of the
other stars are farther than that. 

That's why you have to wait a few thousand years before you notice
that the shape of a constellation has changed.

To put it a slightly different way . . . Everything is in motion.  The motion is
more noticeable for nearby things, and less noticeable for farther-away things. 
Objects within our solar system are the only ones near enough so that a human
lifetime is a long enough period in which to notice the change in their position.
Even Pluto moves less then 1.5° against the 'background' stars in a whole year.

This all makes me feel small.  How about you ?

When a hot and cold object are placed in contact, the hot one loses energy. Does this violate energy conservation? Why or why no
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

This does not violate the conservation of energy.

Explanation:

This does not violate the conservation of energy because the hot body gives energy in the form of heat to the colder body, this second absorbs energy. This will be the case until both bodies reach the same temperature, reaching thermal equilibrium and reducing the transfer of thermal energy. In this way the energy was only transferred from one body to another but the total energy of the system (body 1 plus body 2) will be the same as in the beginning, respecting the principle of conservation of energy or also called the first principle of thermodynamics .

The part of physics that studies these processes is in turn called heat transfer or heat transfer or thermal transfer. Heat transfer occurs whenever there is a thermal gradient or when two systems with different temperatures come into contact. The process persists until thermal equilibrium is reached, that is, until temperatures are equalized. When there is a temperature difference between two objects or regions close enough, the heat transfer cannot be stopped, it can only be slowed down.

Calculate the total resistance in a series circuit made up of resistances of 3Ω, 4Ω, and 5Ω.
-BARSIC- [3]
The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of all resistors (R total = ΣRi).

R total = R1 + R2 + R3 = (3 + 4 + 5) Ω = 12 Ω

Answer:

Impulse = 322.5[kg*m/s], the answer is D

Explanation:

This method  it is based on the principle of momentum and the amount of movement; and  used to solve problems involving strength, mass, speed and time.

If units of the SI are used, the magnitude of the impulse of a force is expressed in N * s. however, when remembering the definition of the newton.

N*S=(kg*m/s^{2} )*s = kg*m/s

Now replacing the values on the following equation that express the definition of impulse

Impulse = Force * Time\\\\Impulse = 215 * 1.5 = 322.5 [kg*m/s]

Estimate how much solar energy reaches the earth per year (in Joule).
Alexxandr [17]

Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth.

In a year it is very hard to determine because of the night and different light levels.
