Why does the North star not move but the other stars move

Physics
1 answer:
blsea [12.9K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

it's the star in the center of the star field

Explanation:

Why Doesn't Polaris Move? Polaris is very distant from Earth, and located in a position very near Earth's north celestial pole. ... Polaris is the star in the center of the star field; it shows essentially no movement. Earth's axis points almost directly to Polaris, so this star is observed to show the least movement

What is the first semiconductor

English "natural philosopher" (the contemporary term for physicist) Michael Faraday is renowned for his discovery of the principles of electro-magnetic induction and electro-magnetic rotation, the interaction between electricity and magnetism that led to the development of the electric motor and generator. The unit of measurement of electrical capacitance - the farad (F) - is named in his honor. Faraday's experimental work in chemistry, which included the discovery of benzene, also led him to the first documented observation of a material that we now call a semiconductor. While investigating the effect of temperature on "sulphurette of silver" (silver sulfide) in 1833 he found that electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperature. This effect, typical of semiconductors, is the opposite of that measured in metals such as copper, where conductivity decreases as temperature is increased. In a chapter entitled "On Conducting Power Generally" in his book Experimental Researches in Electricity Faraday writes "I have lately met with an extraordinary case ... which is in direct contrast with the influence of heat upon metallic bodies ... On applying a lamp ... the conducting power rose rapidly with the heat ... On removing the lamp and allowing the heat to fall, the effects were reversed." We now understand that raising the temperature of most semiconductors increases the density of charge carriers inside them and hence their conductivity. This effect is used to make thermistors - special resistors that exhibit a decrease in electrical resistance (or an increase in conductivity) with an increase in temperature. <span> Next Milestone </span> Contemporary Documents <span> <span>Faraday, M.

An object experiences an impulse, moves and attains a momentum of 200 kg·m/s. If its mass is 50 kg, what is its velocity?
Nady [450]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the object in this problem, we know:

p = 200 kg m/s is the momentum

m = 50 kg is the mass

Solving for the velocity, we find:

v=\frac{p}{m}=\frac{200}{50}=4 m/s
