Actually, they're not. There's a group of stars and constellations arranged
around the pole of the sky that's visible at any time of any dark, clear night,
all year around. And any star or constellation in the rest of the sky is visible
for roughly 11 out of every 12 months ... at SOME time of the night.
Constellations appear to change drastically from one season to the next,
and even from one month to the next, only if you do your stargazing around
the same time every night.
Why does the night sky change at various times of the year ? Here's how to
think about it:
The Earth spins once a day. You spin along with the Earth, and your clock is
built to follow the sun . "Noon" is the time when the sun is directly over your
head, and "Midnight" is the time when the sun is directly beneath your feet.
Let's say that you go out and look at the stars tonight at midnight, when you're
facing directly away from the sun.
In 6 months from now, when you and the Earth are halfway around on the other
side of the sun, where are those same stars ? Now they're straight in the
direction of the sun. So they're directly overhead at Noon, not at Midnight.
THAT's why stars and constellations appear to be in a different part of the sky,
at the same time of night on different dates.
The steps in the heating of a metal seat in a park are:
Step 1: Heat travels from the sun to Earth
Step 2: Heat travels through atmosphere to the top of the seat
Step 3: Heat from the top of the seat travels through the seat to the lower parts of the seat.
-- Heat is transferred by radiation in Step 1 and Step 2. <em>(B)</em>
-- From the top of the seat to the bottom, heat is transferred by conduction.
There's no convection happening anywhere in the park-hot-seat scenario.
Answer:
a) a = 4.9 m / s², N = 16.97 N and b) F = 9.8 N
Explanation:
a) For this exercise we will use Newton's second law, we write a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane, see attached, in this system the only force we have to break down is weight, let's use trigonometry
sin 30 = Wx / W
cos 30 = Wy / W
Wx = W sin30
Wy = W cos 30
Let's write the equations on each axis
X axis
Wx = ma
Y Axis
N- Wy = 0
N = Wy = mg cos 30
N = 2.0 9.8 cos 30
N = 16.97 N
We calculate the acceleration
a = Wx / m
a = mg sin 30 / m
a = g sin 30
a =9.8 sin 30
a = 4.9 m / s²
b) For the block to move with constant speed, the acceleration must be zero, so the force applied must be equal to the weight component
F -Wx = 0
F = Wx
F = m g sin 30
F = 2.0 9.8 sin 30
F = 9.8 N
