Answer:

c. earth rotates on it tilted axis and orbit around the sun at the same time

Explanation:

Earth rotation can be defined as the amount of time taken by planet earth to complete its spinning movement on its axis.

This ultimately implies that, the rotation of earth refers to the time taken by earth to rotate once on its axis. One spinning movement of the earth on its axis takes approximately 24 hours to complete with respect to the sun. Thus, this makes us to experience day and night (sun rise and sun set) due to the rotation of planet about its axis.

Hence, the sun rise and set because the earth rotates on it tilted axis and orbit around the sun at the same time

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. By doing this, you make the time o

Answer:

c. about 1/10 as great.

Explanation:

While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.

This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.

Mathematically:

$F\propto\frac{d}{dt} (p)$

$\Rightarrow F=\frac{d}{dt} (m.v)$

since mass is constant

$F=m\frac{d}{dt}v$

when $dt=10t$

then,

$F'=m.\frac{v}{10\times t}$

$F'=\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{m.v}{t}$

$F'=\frac{F}{10}$ the body will experience the tenth part of the maximum force.

where:

$\frac{d}{dt} =$ represents the rate of change in dependent quantity with respect to time

$p=$ momentum

$m=$ mass of the person jumping

$v=$ velocity of the body while hitting the ground.

In a city grid, each block on the east-west streets is 100 meters long. Each block on the north-south streets is 20 meters long.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

72.1 m

Explanation:

Hello!

When the walker walks west, each block he walks will be of 100 m, so the walker walked 4*100m = 400 m west.

Similarly, when the walker walks south, he walks 20 meters per block, therefore, the walker walked 4*20 m = 80 m south.

Since the directions west and south are perpendicular, the distance between the start ad end point is:

d = √(400^2 + 80^2) m = 407.92 m

However the walker traveled 480 m

Therefore, the walker traveled 480 - 407.9 m = 72.1 m farther than the actual distance

What is the force of gravity (from the Earth) on the 700kg satellite if it’s 10km above the Earths surface?

joja [24]

Answer:

The force of gravity on a 700 kg satellite if its 10 km above Earth's surface is given by

= ${\frac{(6.674\times 10^{-11}N. m^2/kg^2)(5.97\times 10^{24}kg) }{(10\times10^3)^2}$ = 3984378 m / $s^{2}$

IM SO CONFUSED HELP! What makes the light react the way it does? (Other than the fact that it’s shining on different things)

xenn [34]

This is because, different colored object absorbs differnt wavelenght of light making it appears with different color. There is a spectrum of white light in which red have the longest wavelength.
Hope this will help.
