Answer:

The Earth spins on its axis once a day.

Explanation:

In simple words,The Earth revolves on its axis once every 24 hours and circles the sun once every 365 days. The Earth's rotation on its axis, not its orbit throughout the sun causes day as well as night. The word 'one day' refers to the period it requires the Earth to spin entirely on its axis, which involves both day as well as night.

PLEASE PRESS THE “Thanks!” BUTTON! :)
13 g —> 0.013 kg
KE = 1/2(m)(v)^2
KE = 1/2(0.013)(8.5)^2
KE = 0.47 J

Please. Physics is so difficult.
Softa [21]

Answer:

0.010 m

Explanation:

So the equation for a pendulum period is: y=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} where L is the length of the pendulum. In this case I'll use the approximation of pi as 3.14, and g=9.8 m\s. So given that it oscillates once every 1.99 seconds. you have the equation:

1.99 s = 2(3.14)\sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8 m\backslash s^2}}\\

Evaluate the multiplication in front

1.99 s = 6.28\sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8m\backslash s^2}

Divide both sides by 6.28

0.317 s= \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8 m\backslash s^2}}

Square both sides

0.100 s^2= \frac{L}{9.8 m\backslash s^2}

Multiply both sides by m/s^2  (the s^2 will cancel out)

0.984 m = L

Now now let's find the length when it's two seconds

2.00 s = 6.28\sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8m\backslash s^2}}

Divide both sides by 6.28

0.318 s = \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8 m\backslash s^2}

Square both sides

0.101 s^2 = \frac{L}{9.8 m\backslash s^2}

Multiply both sides by 9.8 m/s^2 (s^2 will cancel out)

0.994 m = L

So to find the difference you simply subtract

0.984 - 0.994 = 0.010 m

Tema [17]
By definition, the momentum is given by:
 p = m * v
 Where,
 m = mass
 v = speed.
 On the other hand,
 F = m * a
 Where,
 m = mass
 a = acceleration:
 For the boy we have:
 p1 = m * v
 p1 = (F / a) * v
 p1 = ((710) / (9.81)) * (0.50)
 p1 = 36.19 Kg * (m / s)
 For the girl we have:
 p2 = m * v
 p2 = (F / a) * v
 p2 = ((480) / (9.81)) * (v)
 p2 = 48.93 * v Kg * (m / s)
 Then, we have:
 p1 + p2 = 0
 36.19 + 48.93 * v = 0
 Clearing v:
 v = - (36.19) / (48.93)
 v = -0.74 m / s (negative because the velocity is in the opposite direction of the boy's)
 Answer:
 the girl's velocity in m / s after they push off is -0.74 m / s

The Earth is constantly spinning on its axis, like you might spin a basketball on your finger. It is this spinning of the Earth
mash [69]

<u>Answer:</u>

The spinning of the earth around its own axis causes day and night.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth has two types of motions. It spins around its own axis causing day and night every 12 hours and completes a rotation in 23.93 hours that make a full day. The part of the earth that faces sunlight during spinning experiences day and the other part has night.  It also rotates around the sun and completes one rotation in 365 days that makes a year.
