What is the highest degrees above the horizon the moon ever gets during the year in the Yakima Valley ?

Physics

Ivahew [28]3 years ago

The trickiest part of this problem was making sure where the Yakima Valley is.
OK so it's generally around the city of the same name in Washington State.

Just for a place to work with, I picked the Yakima Valley Junior College, at the
corner of W Nob Hill Blvd and S16th Ave in Yakima.  The latitude in the middle
of that intersection is 46.585° North.  <u>That's</u> the number we need.

Here's how I would do it:

-- The altitude of the due-south point on the celestial equator is always
(90° - latitude), no matter what the date or time of day.

-- The highest above the celestial equator that the ecliptic ever gets
is about 23.5°. 

-- The mean inclination of the moon's orbit to the ecliptic is 5.14°, so
that's the highest above the ecliptic that the moon can ever appear
in the sky.

This sets the limit of the highest in the sky that the moon can ever appear.

90° - 46.585° + 23.5° + 5.14° = 72.1° above the horizon .

That doesn't happen regularly.  It would depend on everything coming
together at the same time ... the moon happens to be at the point in its
orbit that's 5.14° above ==> (the point on the ecliptic that's 23.5° above
the celestial equator).

Depending on the time of year, that can be any time of the day or night.

The most striking combination is at midnight, within a day or two of the
Winter solstice, when the moon happens to be full.

In general, the Full Moon closest to the Winter solstice is going to be
the moon highest in the sky.  Then it's going to be somewhere near
67° above the horizon at midnight.

While eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich peanut butter drips on Dana shirt she tries to remove the peanut butter from her
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The water does not remove the peanut butter because the peanut butter is thicker substance than the water is, therefore it would not remove immediately.. It could also be because the brown dye or color in the peanut butter color or the peanut butter itself has already gone through her clothing Dana would have to remove it as much as she could with a towel water and some soap then throw it to the washer afterward.

Hope this helps, good luck:)

what is the force per meter on a straight wire carrying 5.0 a when it is placed in a magnetic field of 0.020 t
Dvinal [7]

The Force per meter on a straight wire carrying current in a magnetic field is<u>  0.045 N/m.</u>

<u>Calculation:-</u>

       F/ℓ = B I sin θ

  Where B – Magnetic field = 0.02 T I – Current = 5 A          

Substituting the values

F/ℓ = (0.02) (5) (sin 27 deg)

F/ℓ = <u>0.045 N/m</u>

A force is an influence that can alternate the motion of an item. A force can cause an item with mass to trade its pace, i.e., to boost up. force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A pressure has both value and course, making it a vector quantity.

The push or pull on an item with mass causes it to change its velocity. force is an external agent capable of converting a frame's nation of relaxation or motion. It has significance and a path. A force is a push or pulls among gadgets. it is called an interplay because if one object acts on some other, its movement is matched with the aid of a reaction from the alternative object.
