Answer:

The object is not still as it observe from the outer space.

Explanation:

Our earth is not stationary.

It rotates about its own axis with the period of 24 hours and it revolves around the sun with the period of 1 year.

An object is said to be at rest if the position of the object with respect to time changes.

An object is said to be in motion when the position of the object changes with respect to time.

Both the terms rest and motion are relative to each other.  

If an observer observe an object on the earth from the outer space, he observe that the object s not still it is also moving as the earth is moving.

So, the object is not still as it observe from the outer space.

Answer:

Explanation:

AB = 110 miles

Let the distance of the western station from fire is d.

As according to the diagram, use Sine law

\frac{d}{Sin 15}=\frac{110}{Sin 133}

d = 110 x 0.2588 / 0.73

d = 39 miles

When a cannon fires a cannonball, the cannon will recoil backward because the:
gulaghasi [49]

C) total linear momentum of the ball and cannon is conserved.

Basically it happens that in the beginning before there is a momentum acting on the two bodies, these are a unique system. Here the total momentum of the System is 0. However, when the positive momentum of the cannonball is added, the system will be immediately affected by a negative momentum which will pull back the cannon. Could this be extrapolated as a condition of Newton's third law.
