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").

victus00 [196]

Answer:

0.695s

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, the restoring force is given has

F = -ky .......1

Where F is the force, y is the spring displacement and k force constant of the spring.

Also recall,

F=mg ............ 2

Where m is the mass of object, g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Equating 1 and 2

Ky = mg

Given that g=9.8m/s2 , y is 3.4cm and g is 8g

K×3.4/100m =8/1000kg × 9.8m/s2

K= ( 0.008kg × 9.8m/s2 ) ÷ 0.034

K= 0.0784÷0.035

K=2.24N/m

Mass ofvthe second object is 25g =0.025kg

Period of oscillation T

T=2π√m/k

T=2×3.142√0.025/2.24

T=6.284√0.0111

T=0.659seconds

A solid block is attached to a spring scale. When the block is suspended in air, the scale reads 20.1 N; when it is completely i

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

A) $V = 4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3} = 492 cm^{3}$

B) $d = 4181.49 kg/m^{3} = 4.18 g/cm^{3}$

Explanation:

A) Using the Archimedes' force we can find the weight of water displaced:

$W_{d} = W_{a} - W_{w}$

Where:

$W_{a}$ : is the weight of the block in the air = 20.1 N

$W_{w}$ : is the weight of the block in the water = 15.3 N

$W_{d} = W_{a} - W_{w} = 20.1 N - 15.3 N = 4.8 N$

Now, the mass of the water displaced is:

$m = \frac{W_{d}}{g} = \frac{4.8 N}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 0.49 kg$

The volume of the block can be found using the mass of water displaced and the density of the water:

$V = \frac{m}{d} = \frac{0.49 kg}{997 kg/m^{3}} = 4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3} = 492 cm^{3}$

B) The density of the block can be found as follows:

$d = \frac{W_{a}}{g*V} = \frac{20.1 N}{9.81 m/s^{2}*4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3}} = 4181.49 kg/m^{3} = 4.18 g/cm^{3}$

I hope it helps you!

Name TWO WEAKNESSES of the model pictured below

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Here are a few:

1) The orbital radius of these planets is ridiculously small an in no way representative of their actual radii.

2) The planets will only line up like that once every 5200 years, making this very unrepresentative of their usual relations - although this does make their order in distance from the sun.

3) The nebulae, comet, lens flare, and other junk in the background is incorrect.

4) If this is meant as a representation of the planets, then Pluto should not be there as it is now considered a planetoid.

5) The planets are incorrectly scaled both to each other and to the sun.
