Hipparchus could have warned us that the dates associated with each of the natal astrology sun signs would eventually be wrong.

Explain why.

Explanation:

Hipparchus had observed and discovered the precession motion of Earth. Due to the precession the axis of the Earth will gradual shift in a cycle of  25772 years. That means the axis will point towards different stars in the celestial sphere and our pole stars will change.

Because of this change in the axis the apparent position of Sun with respect to the background constellation (sun signs) regresses. Because of which the dates associated with the sun signs will be wrong.

How is it possible to get three precise but inaccurate measurements of the same volume of water
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The inaccurate measurements must be similar to the other two measurements (ex; 590, 589, 599), but different from the actual volume of water. (Ex; the actual volume is let say.. 100, but you measured 50, 49, 40)

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules
