A sidereal day is the time it takes for

Physics

ch4aika [34]3 years ago

Answer:

B. the stars to come back to the same positions in the sky.

Explanation:

In fact, the solar day is equivalent to more than a rotation, because when the point has turned completely, it is not, as it should, in the same position with respect to the Sun.

The reason for this is that while performing the rotation, the Earth simultaneously moved following its orbit around the Sun.

When the reference point completed its rotation, the Earth already moved almost 2,500,000 km., So that to see the Sun again it will be necessary to turn a little more.

Solar day is more than a rotation. The sidereal or sidereal day, commonly used by astronomers, is also based on the rotation of the Earth; but in this case a distant star is taken as a reference (sidereal comes from the Latin sidus which means "star").

Ber [7]

Answer: D. 1,2,3 

The paper pots used in steamboat restaurants will not catch fire when in contact with the flame for the heat is conducted quickly to the water because the paper is thin and the burning temperature of the paper is much higher than the boiling point of water. Lastly, the texture of the paper is thick that it can withstand the temperature of the flame.

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 3.33 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a
Troyanec [42]

Answer: 6.47m/s

Explanation:

The tangential speed can be defined in terms of linear speed. The linear speed is the distance traveled with respect to time taken. The tangential speed is basically, the linear speed across a circular path.

The time taken for 1 revolution is, 1/3.33 = 0.30s

velocity of the wheel = d/t

Since d is not given, we find d by using formula for the circumference of a circle. 2πr. Thus, V = 2πr/t

V = 2π * 0.309 / 0.3

V = 1.94/0.3

V = 6.47m/s

The tangential speed of the tack is 6.47m/s

A 0.90-kg falcon is diving at 28.0 m/s at a downward angle of 35° . It catches a 0.325-kg pigeon from behind in midair. What is
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

22.11 m / s

Explanation:

The falcon catches the prey from behind means both are flying in the same direction ( suppose towards the left )

initial velocity of falcon = 28 cos 35 i - 28 sin 35 j  

( falcon was flying in south east direction making 35 degree from the east )

momentum = .9 ( 28 cos 35 i - 28 sin 35 j  )

= 20.64 i - 14.45 j

initial velocity of pigeon

= 7 i

initial momentum = .325 x 7i

= 2.275 i

If final velocity of composite mass of falcon and pigeon be V

Applying law of conservation of momentum

( .9 + .325) V = 20.64 i - 14.45 j +2.275 i

V = ( 22.915 i - 14.45 j ) / 1.225

= 18.70 i - 11.8 j

magnitude of V

= √ [  (18.7 )² + ( 11.8 )²]

= 22.11 m / s

Describe free fall and weightlessness ?<br>​
yaroslaw [1]

weightlessness is the complete or near complete absense of the sensation of weight.

when in freefall,the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity a noun contact force.since the gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces,you would have no sensation of it.you would feel weightless when in a state of freefall.
