A solar day is the time it takes Earth to rotate on its axis between two consecutive solar positions (for example, high noon to

high noon or sunset to sunset). A sidereal day is the time it takes Earth to rotate on its axis between two consecutive positions of a distant star (Vega on the eastern horizon to Vega again on the eastern horizon). Which is longer?

Answer: Solar Day

Explanation: As explained above, a Solar Day is the time it takes to the earth to rotate between to Solar Position. This time is taken as reference to calculate the day, so this times equals to 24 hours.}

However the Sideral Day is the time on which the Eart rotates between two consecutives position on a distant star. The Sideral day is shorter because both Earth Rotanting Movements are counter-clockwise.

The Earth moves around the sun and around his own axis. Because of this, the earth after doing a full rotation, needs to compensate a extra degree to face the sun at the same spot, so the movement is longer.

Where in the motion is the magnitude of the force from the spring on the object zero? Where in the motion is the magnitude of th
kkurt [141]

<em></em>

Answer:

1. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is zero on <em>Equilibrium.</em>

2. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is a maximum on <em>The top and bottom.</em>

3. The magnitude of the net force on the object is zero on <em>The Bottom.</em>

4. The magnitude of the force on the object is a maximum on <em>the Top.</em>

Explanation:

<em>1. Because the change in position delta X is zero.</em>

<em>2. Because of delta X.</em>

<em>3. Beacuse, the force of gravity and the force of the spring oppose each other to keep the block at rest, away from the equilibrium position.</em>

<em>4. Because, the force of the spring from compressiom and the force of gravity both act on the mass.</em>

The particles of the medium (slinky in this case) move up and down (choice #2) in a transverse wave scenario.

This is the defining characteristic of transverse waves, like particles on the surface of water while a wave travels on it, or like particles in a slack rope when someone sends a wave through by giving it a jolt.

The other kind of waves is longitudinal, where the particles of the medium move "left-and-right" along the direction of the wave propagation. In the case of the slinky, this would be achieved by giving a tensioned slinky an "inward" jolt. You would see that such a jolt would give rise to a longitudinal wave traveling along the length of the tensioned slinky. Another example of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

An eagle is flying horizontally 16.4 meters above a lake at a speed of 9.3 m/s, carrying a small pumpkin in its talons. The pump
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m

Explanation:

Given;

height above the ground, h = 16.4 m

speed of the eagle, v = 9.3 m/s

The time it will take the pumpkin to fall at the given height is calculated as;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t =  \sqrt{\frac{2*16.4}{9.8} }\\\\t = 1.83 \ s

The horizontal distance traveled at this time is given by;

x = vt

x = (9.3)(1.83)

x = 17.02 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m
