Star Twinkle but planet do not why​

Physics
1 answer:
V125BC [204]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:The total variation in the amount of light entering our eye is not dectiable therefore planets do not twinkle.

Explanation:Stars twinkle, while planets (usually) shine steadily. Why? Stars twinkle because … they're so far away from Earth that, even through large telescopes, they appear only as pinpoints. ... Planets shine more steadily because … they're closer to Earth and so appear not as pinpoints, but as tiny disks in our sky.As light from a star races through our atmosphere, it bounces and bumps through the different layers, bending the light before you see it. Since the hot and cold layers of air keep moving, the bending of the light changes too, which causes the star's appearance to wobble or twinkle.

What is also known as watered carbons
faltersainse [42]
The name carbohydrate means "watered carbon" or carbon with attached water molecules. Many carbohydrates have empirical formuli which would imply about equal numbers of carbon and water molecules. For example, the glucose formula C6H12O6 suggests six carbon atoms and six water molecules.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Force exerted = 25.41 kN

Explanation:

We have equation of motion

      v² = u²+2as

u = 345 m/s, s = 8.9 cm = 0.089 m, v = 0 m/s

     0² = 345²+2 x a x 0.089

       a = -668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = Mass x Acceleration

Mass of bullet = 38 g = 0.038 kg

Acceleration = 668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = 25409.83 N = 25.41 kN
