Why do stars twinkle​

Physics

As light from a star races through our atmosphere, it bounces and bumps through the different layers, bending the light before you see it. Since the hot and cold layers of air keep moving, the bending of the light changes too, which causes the star's appearance to wobble or twinkle.

a body of mass 0.2kg is whirled round a horizontal circle by a string inclined at 30 degrees to the vertical calculate <br /&
Katen [24]

Answer:

a)  T = 2.26 N, b) v = 1.68 m / s

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law

Let's set a reference system where the x-axis is radial and the y-axis is vertical, let's decompose the tension of the string

        sin 30 = \frac{T_x}{T}

        cos 30 = \frac{T_y}{T}

        Tₓ = T sin 30

        T_y = T cos 30

Y axis  

       T_y -W = 0

       T cos 30 = mg                     (1)

X axis

        Tₓ = m a

they relate it is centripetal

        a = v² / r

we substitute

         T sin 30 = m\frac{v^2}{r}            (2)

a) we substitute in 1

         T = \frac{mg }{cos 30}

         T = \frac{ 0.2 \ 9.8}{cos  \ 30}

         T = 2.26 N

b) from equation 2

           v² = \frac{T \ sin 30 \ r}{m}

If we know the length of the string

          sin 30 = r / L

          r = L sin 30

we substitute

          v² = \frac{ T \ sin 30 \ L \ sin 30}{m}

          v² = \frac{TL \ sin^2  30}{m}

For the problem let us take L = 1 m

let's calculate

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{2.26 \ 1 \ sin^230}{0.2} }

          v = 1.68 m / s

Which layer would a person drilling a well most likely reach after drilling through the unsaturated zone?
Flauer [41]

An aquifer is the most expected feature that is likely to be reach after drilling through the unsaturated zone. Aquifer has tendency to transform ground water to the surface through voids. The depth of aquifer varies.

Pls help me solve this<br><br><br><br>​

Answer:

a) The uniform velocity travelled by the car is 10 meters per second.

(Point b has been erased by the user)

c) The distance travelled by the car with uniform velocity is 100 meters.

Explanation:

a) Calculate the uniform velocity travelled by the car:

The uniform velocity is the final velocity (v), in meters per second, of the the uniform accelerated stage:

v = v_{o} + a\cdot t (1)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial velocity, in meters per second.

a - Acceleration, in meters per square second.

t - Time, in seconds.

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and t = 5\,s, then the uniform velocity is:

v = 0\,\frac{m}{s} + \left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (5\,s)

v = 10\,\frac{m}{s}

The uniform velocity travelled by the car is 10 meters per second.

(Point b has been erased by the user)

c) The distance travelled by the car (\Delta x), in meters, with uniform velocity is calculated by the following kinematic expression:

\Delta x = v\cdot t (2)

If we know that v = 10\,\frac{m}{s} and t = 10\,s, then the distance travelled is:

\Delta x = \left(10\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (10\,s)

\Delta x = 100\,m

The distance travelled by the car with uniform velocity is 100 meters.
