The equinox

Physics
1 answer:
allochka39001 [22]3 years ago
7 0

The equinoxes (from Latin aequinoctium (aequus nocte), "equal night") are the times of the year when the Sun is located in the plane of the celestial equator and comes from the Latin aequinoctium (aequus nocte), "equal night". It occurs twice a year: between March 19 and 21 and between September 21 and 24 of each year. As the name implies, on the dates on which the equinoxes occur, the day lasts approximately equal to that of the night in all places on Earth.

The equinoxes are used to set the beginning of spring and autumn in each hemisphere.

Therefore the correct answer is D.

An airplane went from 120 m/s to 180 m/s in 4.0 seconds. What was its acceleration?
scoundrel [369]
<span>15 m/s^2 The first thing to calculate is the difference between the final and initial velocities. So 180 m/s - 120 m/s = 60 m/s So the plane changed velocity by a total of 60 m/s. Now divide that change in velocity by the amount of time taken to cause that change in velocity, giving 60 m/s / 4.0 s = 15.0 m/s^2 Since you only have 2 significaant figures, round the result to 2 significant figures giving 15 m/s^2</span>

Can one individual represent and entire population? Why or why not
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

A representative does his/her utmost to convey the feelings of the majority of the group they speak for, and stands up for their interests. This might be for negotiation, voting, litigation, diplomacy, etc.  

A leader, ideally, inspires their constituents and brings out the best in them, as in strength, ethics, spirituality, and so on.  

Short version: a rep is an agent or conduit. A leader is a catalyst. Either job can be hard. And yes, it can be done for most of a population. Maybe not all, but not everyone can fit into the same mold.

Viewed at night from the high diving board at a swimming pool, the light from an underwater bulb forms a bright, 10-ft diameter
ycow [4]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

diameter of circle = 10 ft

refractive index of the water = n = 1.33

let the inclined surface of the cone makes an angle θ with vertical line then

tan \theta = \dfrac{radius\ of\ circle}{verticle\ length}

h= \dfrac{radius}{tan\theta }

we know,

sin \theta = \dfrac{1}{n}

sin \theta = \dfrac{1}{1.33}

\theta =sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{1.33})

from this θ = 48.75°

substitute this in eq ( 1 ) we have  

h= \dfrac{5}{tan 48.75}

h = 4.38

h = 4.4 (approx.)

Hence, the correct answer is option A
