Answer:

Without any external forces a moving object will continue to move in a straight line. The gravitational force between the two objects will provide the centripetal force to keep the objects moving around one another.

1. satellite in orbit around the earth (motion of earth is negligible)

2. moon in orbit around the earth (center of motion several thousand miles

from center of earth)

3. earth in orbit around sun (center of rotation close to center of sun)

4. binary stars (if masses of stars are equal center of rotation is in middle)

Reil [10]

Answer:

i = 61 degree

Explanation:

Given,

$\alpha =45^{o}$

Now, by the snell's law

$sin\theta_c=\frac{1}{n}\\sin\theta_c=\frac{1}{2.450}\\\theta_c=24.09^o$

Now,

Sin i / sin r = n 2 / n 1

sin i / sin r (45 - 24.09) = 2.45 / 1

i = 60.97 degree

Traveler A starts from rest at a constant acceleration of 6 m/s^2. Two seconds later, traveler B starts with an initial velocity

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3. 3.5 s

Explanation:

The position of traveller A is given by the equation:

$x_A(t) = \frac{1}{2}a t^2$

where

$a = 6 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of A

t is the time measured from when A started the motion

The position of traveller B instead is given by

$x_B(t) = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2$

where a (acceleration) is the same as traveller A, and

$u_B = 20 m/s$

is B's initial velocity. We can verify that the formula is correct by substituting t=2, and we get $x_B=0$ , which means that B starts its motion 2 seconds later.

Traveller B overtakes traveller A when the two positions are the same, so:

$x_A = x_B\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B t - 2u_B +\frac{1}{2}at^2 +2a-2at\\u_Bt-2at = 2u_B-2a\\t=\frac{2u_B-2a}{u_B-2a}=\frac{2(20)-2(6)}{20-2(6)}=3.5 s$

If you were to move to the Canadian North Woods, what adaptations or behavioral changes would you make?

iragen [17]

Adaptation will mean taking action to minimize the negative effects of change. ... the use of new tools and techniques for decision-making, For example, projected increases in drought, fire, windstorms, and insect and disease outbreaks are expected to result in greater tree mortality. Fewer trees will reduce Canada’s timber supply, which in turn will affect the economic competitiveness of Canada’s forest industry. This would leave forestry-dependent communities vulnerable to job losses, closure of forestry processing facilities and an overall economic slump.
