Yes because anyone from anywhere can see the star but you have to be in a certain spot

Answer:

If conditions are just right, you can see Polaris from just south of the equator. Although Polaris is also known as the North Star, it doesn't lie precisely above Earth's North Pole. If it did, Polaris would have a declination of exactly 90 degree.

The movement of a magnetic pole away from the actual pole

Lunna [17]

The North Magnetic Pole is the point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate about a horizontal axis, it will point straight down). There is only one location where this occurs, near (but distinct from) the Geographic North Pole and the Geomagnetic North Pole.

Suppose a plane accelerates from rest for 30 s, achieving a takeoff speed of 80 m/s after traveling a distance of 1200 m down th

Margaret [11]

Answer:

300 m

Explanation:

The train accelerate from the rest so u = 0 m/sec

Final speed that is v = 80 m/sec

Time t = 30 sec

The distance traveled by first plane = 1200 m

We know the equation of motion $S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ where s is distance a is acceleration and u is initial velocity

Using this equation for first plane $1200=0\times 30+\frac{1}{2}a30^2$

$a=2.67\frac{m}{sec^2}$

As the acceleration is same for both the plane so a for second plane will be 2.67 $\frac{m}{sec^2}$

The another equation of motion is $v^2=u^2+2as$ using this equation for second plane $40^2=0+2\times 2.67\times s$

s = 300 m

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

dsp73

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.
