Actually, they're not. There's a group of stars and constellations arranged
around the pole of the sky that's visible at any time of any dark, clear night,
all year around. And any star or constellation in the rest of the sky is visible
for roughly 11 out of every 12 months ... at SOME time of the night.
Constellations appear to change drastically from one season to the next,
and even from one month to the next, only if you do your stargazing around
the same time every night.
Why does the night sky change at various times of the year ? Here's how to
think about it:
The Earth spins once a day. You spin along with the Earth, and your clock is
built to follow the sun . "Noon" is the time when the sun is directly over your
head, and "Midnight" is the time when the sun is directly beneath your feet.
Let's say that you go out and look at the stars tonight at midnight, when you're
facing directly away from the sun.
In 6 months from now, when you and the Earth are halfway around on the other
side of the sun, where are those same stars ? Now they're straight in the
direction of the sun. So they're directly overhead at Noon, not at Midnight.
THAT's why stars and constellations appear to be in a different part of the sky,
at the same time of night on different dates.
Answer:
16. 68.18 Km/h
17. 3 miles.
Explanation:
16. Determination of the speed
Distance travelled = 150 Km
Time = 2.2 hours
Speed =?
Speed is simply defined as the distance travelled with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
Speed = Distance / time
With the above formula, we can obtain the speed as follow:
Distance travelled = 150 Km
Time = 2.2 hours
Speed =?
Speed = Distance /time
Speed = 150 / 2.2
Speed = 68.18 Km/h
17. Determination of the distance.
Speed = 3 mph
Time = 1 hour
Distance =?
Speed = Distance /time
3 = distance / 1
Distance = 3 miles
Mass (kg) = force (N) / acceleration (m/s).
200/2.5 = 80
Answer:
E = 1440 kJ
Explanation:
It is given that,
Power of a cooker oven is 800 W
Voltage at which it is operated is 230 V
Time, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds
We need to find the electrical energy used by the cooker oven. The product of power and time is equal to the energy consumed. So,
So, electrical energy of 1440 kJ is consumed by the cooker oven.
