Day and night are caused by

Physics
1 answer:
JulijaS [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

How is the rotation of the earth responsible for causing day and night?

We get day and night because the Earth spins (or rotates) on an imaginary line called its axis and different parts of the planet are facing towards the Sun or away from it. It takes 24 hours for the world to turn all the way around, and we call this a day.

A 3.0-kg block starts at rest at the top of a 37° incline, which is 5.0 m long. Its speed when it reaches the bottom is 2.0 m/s.
Mama L [17]

Answer: f_{r} = 16.49N

Explanation: The object is placed on an inclined plane at an angle of 37° thus making it weight have two component,

W_{x} = horizontal component of the weight = mgsinФ

W_{y} = vertical component of weight = mgcosФ

Due to the way the object is positioned, the horizontal component of force will accelerate the object thus acting as an applied force.

by using newton's law of motion, we have that

mgsinФ - f_{r} = ma

where m = mass of object=5kg

a = acceleration= unknown

Ф = angle of inclination = 37°

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^{2}

f_{r} = frictional force = unknown

we need to first get the acceleration before the frictional force which is gotten by using the equation below

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2aS

where v = final velocity = 2m/s

u = initial velocity = 0m/s (because the object started from rest)

a= unknown

S= distance covered = length of plane = 5m

2^{2} = 0^{2} + 2*a*5\\\\4= 10 *a\\\\a = \frac{4}{10} \\a = 0.4m/s^{2}

we slot in a into the equation below to get frictional force

mgsinФ - f_{r} = ma

3 * 9.8 * sin 37 - f_{r} = 3* 0.4

17.9633 - f_{r} =  1.2

f_{r} = 17.9633 - 1.2

f_{r} = 16.49N

if a spring has a spring constant of 2 N/m and it is stretched 5 cm, what is the force of the spring?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

0.1 N

Explanation:

Considering the relationship between force,

spring constant and extension as defined by Hook's law

The force F=xk as from Hooke's law where F is the force of the spring, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression. Substituting 2 N/m for k and 5cm which is equivalent to 0.05 m for extention x then the force will be

F=2*0.05=0.1 N

The angle between the axes of two polarizing filters is 45.0^\circ45.0 ​∘ ​​ . By how much does the second filter reduce the int
suter [353]

Answer

given,                                                                      

angle between two polarizing filters = 45°

filter reduce intensity = ?                          

a) I = I₀ Cos² θ                                

here θ = 45⁰                                

I = \dfrac{I_0}{2}                      

intensity of the light is reduced by 0.500

correct answer from the given option D

b) direction of the polarization                    

                        θ = 45°

How do you change matter into other phases of matter?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Hey there!

There's many ways to do it - like melting and evaporating.

For example, we'll use water. Plain old water in a water bottle. Right now, it's in its liquid state of matter, but say you put it in the freezer for an hour. That would change its state of matter to solid, since it would be solid ice. Now, if you were to put it out in the sun on a blazing hot day for a couple of hours, it would evaporate and become water vapor, a gas. Lastly, if you can cool that water vapor it becomes a liquid again.

Hope this helps!
