Answer:

The International Astronomical Union (IAU)  has accepted 88 constellations in the sky.

Explanation:

Constellations has been used since the beginnings of civilizations and each one of them named them as they considered appropiate. It means Greeks' constellations were different than the ones described by Chinese, so it was necessary to gather all these constellations and make a great record with all of them, but there was a problem: Some constellations from different civilizations overlaped because they shared the same stars. There was necessary to put some order on this and that is when in 1922 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defned a set of 88 moderm constellations  that would become the international standard to look at the night sky. Each one of them is unique and does not share stars with the other constellations.

A4 kg bowling ball begins rolling down a at bowling alloy at 6 m/s . When it strikes the pins, it is estimated to be moving at 5
Paul [167]

Answer:

Energy lost due to friction is 22 J      

Explanation:

Mass of the ball m = 4 kg

Initially velocity of ball v = 6 m/sec

So kinetic energy of the ball KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 6^2=72J

Now due to friction velocity decreases to 5 m/sec

Kinetic energy become

KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 5^2=50J

Therefore energy lost due to friction = 72 -50 = 22 J
