Because Polaris known as the North Star does not rotate due to it's exact location so everything else rotates around it.

<span>The star Polaris is almost in line with the axis of earth. So when earth rotates it does not appear to rotate in circles.</span>

What is the current in a series circuit that has two resistors (4.0 ohms and 7.5 ohms) and a power source of 9.0 volts?
Olin [163]

-- First, we have to decide how to handle the two resistors.

The effective resistance of resistors in series is the sum
of their individual resistances.  That is, they act like a single
resistor, whose resistance is the sum of all of them.

So in this question, the 4.0 ohms and the 7.5 ohms act like a
single resistor of 11.5 ohms.

-- The current in the circuit is

                       (the supply voltage) / (the total resistance)

                   =                (9.0 volts)  /  (11.5 ohms)

                   =                      0.783... Ampere        (rounded)

Read the scenario and solve these two problems.
Burka [1]

Answers:

a) 5400000 J

b) 45.92 m

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy K of an object is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}

Where:

m=12000 kg is the mass of the train

V=30 m/s is the speed of the train

Solving the equation:

K=\frac{1}{2}(12000 kg)(30 m/s)^{2}

K=5400000 J This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed

b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:

E_{i}=E_{f}

K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}

Where:

K_{i}=5400000 J is the train's initial kinetic energy

P_{i}=0 J is the train's initial potential energy

K_{f}=0 J is the train's final kinetic energy

P_{f}=mgh is the train's final potential energy, where g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity and h is the height.

Rewriting the equation with the given values:

5400000 J=(12000 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})h

Finding h:

h=45.918 m \approx 45.92 m

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

For the first blank, the answer is decreases. For the second blank, the answer is increases. And finally for the third blank, the answer is decreases.

Explanation:

For the first blank, the answer is decreases. For the second blank, the answer is increases. And finally for the third blank, the answer is decreases.

When a liquid is cooled, the kinetic energy of the particles decreases. The force of attraction between the particles increases, the space between the particles decreases, and the matter changes its state to solid.
