From the diagram we have that

sin\theta = \frac{2}{4}

\theta = sin^{-1} (\frac{1}{2})

\theta = 30\°

Therefore the direction is 30° from east of south

What causes the apparent motions of stars across the sky each night
densk [106]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

for the motion every night, it is because the Earth spins on its axis.

for the changes over a year, this is because the Earth rotates around the sun.

for the changes over hundreds, thousands or millions of years, this is because the whole solar system (including the Earth, of course) rotates with all the other stars in our galaxy around the center of the galaxy. and each star system has its own orbit (similar to the planets in our solar system).

it is very rare to see objects outside of our galaxy without a telescope, but they change too over a long period of time, because our galaxy not only rotates by also moves through the universe, and these other objects move on their own too.

A cannonball is fired vertically upwards at 100.0 m/s a) How long will it take to return to the cannon? b) what is it's maximum
V125BC [204]
Answer:
a) 20s
b) 500m

Explanation:
Given the initial velocity = 100 m/s, acceleration = -10m/s^2 (since it is moving up, acceleration is negative), and at the maximum height, the ball is not moving so final velocity = 0 m/s.

To find time, we apply the UARM formula:

v final = (a x t) + v initial

Replacing the values gives us:

0 = (-10 x t) + 100

-100 = -10t

t = 10s

It takes 10s for the the ball to reach its max height, but it must also go down so it takes 2 trips, once going up and then another one going down, both of which take the same time to occur

So 10s going up and another 10s going down:

10x2 = 20s

b) Now that we have v final = 0, v initial = 100, a = -10, t = 10s (10s because maximum displacement means the displacement from the ground to the max height) we can easily find the displacement by applying the second formula of UARM:

Δy = (1/2)(a)(t^2) + (v initial)(t)

Replacing the values gives us:

Δy = (1/2)(-10)(10^2) + (100)(10)

= (-5)(100) + 1000

= -500 + 1000

= 500 m

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)

The brakes application to a car produce an acceleration of 6ms2 in the opposite direction to the motion .If the car takes 2 seco
Anna [14]

Answer:12 meter

Explanation:

acceleration(a)=6m/s^2

Time(t)=2 seconds

Distance =(a x t^2)/2

Distance =(6 x 2^2)/2

Distance=(6 x 2 x 2)/2

Distance=24/2

Distance =12

Distance is 12 meters
