Answer:

An asteroid impact could affect the tilt of the Earth due to the force it applies onto the planet. This would change Earth's seasons due to the fact that Earth's tilt causes seasons.

Answer:

  • <u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>

Explanation:

For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf

  • Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2

Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:

  • Average speed = distance / time

Then:

  • (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:

  • Vf = Vi + a×t

Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)

Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:

From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s

  • Vf + Vi = 90.634      equation 1

From Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)

  • Vf - Vi = 64.876     equation 2

Adding the two equations:

  • 2Vf = 155.510

  • Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)

In the national grid,what does the step up transformer do?
amm1812
In the National Grid, the Step Up Transformer increases the amount of voltage that is passing through the grid at any one time. These are used at power stations, as without them, there would not be enough power to transport the electricity around the national grid.
Hope this helps :)

A space shuttle with a mass of approximately 7.08 E5 kg is sitting on the launch pad. What would be the weight of the space shut
Afina-wow [57]

The weight of the shuttle is 6.94\cdot 10^6 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The magnitude of the weight of an object is given by:

W=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on Earth's surface

And the direction is downward (towards the Earth's centre).

For the shuttle in this problem, its mass is

m=7.08\cdot 10^5 kg

So, its weight is

W=(7.08\cdot 10^5)(9.8)=6.94\cdot 10^6 N

Note that while the mass of an object (m) does not change, its weight (W) changes according to the location, since the value of g can be different at different location (for example, on the Moon, the value of g is about 1/6 the value of g on the Earth).

The Michelson-Morley experiment a) confirmed that time dilation occurs. b) proved that length contraction occurs. c) verified th
hram777 [196]

Answer:

e) indicated that the speed of light is the same in all inertial reference frames.

Explanation:

In 18th century, many scientists believed that the light just like air and water needs a medium to travel. They called this medium <em>aether</em>. They believed that even the space is not empty and filled with aether.

Michelson and Morley tried to prove the presence and speed of this aether through an interference experiment in 1887. They made an interferometer in which light was emitted at various angles with respect to the supposed aether. Both along the flow and against the flow to see the difference in the speed of light. But they did not find no major difference and thus it became the first proof to disprove the theory of aether.

It thus proved that the speed of light remains same in all inertial frames.

Also, it became a base for the special theory of relativity by Einstein.
