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").

Lance Armstrong bikes at a constant speed up the Col d’Izoard, a famous mountain pass. Assume his teammates do such a good job r

svetoff [14.1K]

Work done against gravity to climb upwards is always stored in the form of gravitational potential energy

so we can say

$W = mgh$

here h = vertical height raised

so here we know that

$h = 14.1 sin7.3 km$

here we have

$h = 1.79 km$

now from above equation

$W = (83 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.79 \times 10^3 m)$

$W = 1.46 \times 10^6 J$

so work done will be given by above value

Newer telephone circuits, built during the last decade, offer higher quality because they were built using analog transmission.

hammer [34]

Answer:

Well, newer telephone circuits built during the last decade are based on the digital transmission, not on the analog transmission. So it's the digital transmission circuit that has made the higher quality. Digital circuits converts the voice signals into the binary codes which is then translated again into the voice signal at the receiving end.

The answer is false.

You have a pendulum clock made from a uniform rod of mass M and length L pivoting around one end of the rod. Its frequency is 1

drek231 [11]

The new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.

The given parameters;

Mass of the pendulum, = M
Length of the pendulum, = L
Initial angular speed, $\omega _i$ = 1 rad/s

The moment of inertia of the rod about the end is given as;

$I_i = \frac{1}{3} ML^2$

The moment of inertia of the rod between the middle and the end is calculated as;

$I_f = \int\limits^L_{L/2} {r^2\frac{M}{L} } \, dr = \frac{M}{3L} [r^3]^L_{L/2} = \frac{M}{3L} [L^3 - \frac{L^3}{8} ] = \frac{M}{3L} [\frac{7L^3}{8} ]= \frac{7ML^2}{24}$

Apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below;

$I _i \omega _i = I _f \omega _f\\\\\frac{ML^2}{3} (1 \ rad/s)= \frac{7ML^2}{24} \times \omega _f\\\\\frac{24 \times ML^2}{3 \times 7 ML^2} (1 \ rad/s)= \omega _f\\\\1.14 \ rad/s = \omega _f$

Thus, the new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.
