What happens during the apparent retrograde motion of a planet?

Physics
1 answer:
anygoal [31]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The planet will move from east to west for a couple of months in the night sky.

Explanation:

Retrograde motion is an optical effect due to the fact that Earth rotates more quickly than the planet that apparently has a retrograde motion in the sky.

For example, Saturn has a slower speed in its orbit around the Sun. That means that the Earth will pass it, and that will give the effect that the planet is moving backward. That same scenario can be seen between two cars on a highway, the faster car will see the slower car when it passes as it is moving for a short fragment of time in backward.

Remember that the planets in the night sky move from west to east, in the case of a planet with retrograde motion, it will move from east to west for a couple of months.

A man at point A directs his rowboat due north toward point B, straight across a river of width 100 m. The river current is due
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.35208 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of the boat = 0.75 m/s

Distance between the shores = 100 m

Time = Distance / Speed

Time=\frac{100}{0.75}=133.33\ s

Time taken by the boat to get across is 133.33 seconds

Point C is 150 m from B

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed=\frac{150}{\frac{100}{0.75}}=1.125\ m/s

Velocity of the water is 1.125 m/s

From Pythagoras theorem

c=\sqrt{0.75^2+1.125^2}\\\Rightarrow c=1.35208\ m/s

So, the man's velocity relative to the shore is 1.35208 m/s

They have the same velocity because their displacements (shortest line from point A to point B, which is a straight line) are the same and they meet at the same time.
