Answer:

Planets that are farther from the sun than the earth (all but Mercury and Venus) will exhibit retrograde motion.

If the position of the planet is observed relative to the background stars, the planet will appear to move backward relative to the stars when the earth is moving in an Eastward direction faster than the planet, and the planet appears to move backwards relative to the stars

(The planet will be on the side of the earth that is opposite that of the sun)

A 250 kg flatcar 25 m long is moving with a speed of 3.0 m/s along horizontal frictionless rails. A 61 kg worker starts walking

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

x=31.09m

Explanation:

p1=p2

The momentum of flatcar and the momentum of the worker so

The velocity of the worker is:

$m_{f}*v_{f}=m_{w}*v_{w}\\\\v_{f}=\frac{m_{f}*v_{f}}{m_{w}}\\v_{f}=\frac{61kg*3.0\frac{m}{s}}{250kg}\\v_{f}=0.732\frac{m}{s}$

The total motion has a total velocity and is

$Vt=v_{w}+v_{f}\\Vt=0.732\frac{m}{s}+3.0\frac{m}{s}\\Vt=3.732\frac{m}{s}$

The time the worker take walking is

$t=\frac{x}{v_{w}}\\t=\frac{25m}{3\frac{m}{s}}=8.33s$

Now the total time and the total velocity determinate the motion of tha flatcar how far has moved

$x=t*Vt\\x=8.33s*3.732\frac{m}{s} \\x=31.09m$

EARTH SCIENCE PLEASE ANSWER

Rzqust [24]

The Earth Science answers are shown below.

Explanation:

1. The movement of the sun will change the angle it has on the sky in 30 minutes, it is always moving from the east to the west, so in 30 minutes it would move more west, no matter at what time you make the experiment. From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles

2. No, both marks are the same distance from the ground. the amount of stick above the mark will not affect the distance that the shadow of the mark moves at all. The Sun's clockwise motion is an apparent motion caused by the rotation of the Earth. The counterclockwise rotation of the Earth in the Sun's light causes the shadow of the gnomon to move clockwise. As the Sun appears to move higher above the horizon before solar noon, the shadow grows shorter and shorter.

3. In the summer the shadows are shorter, and in the winter the shadows are longer. In the morning your shadow will point west and in the afternoon it will point east. If your shadow is long, it is near sunrise or sunset. Your shadow is shortest around noon.

4. If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, then the Earth should rotate in the opposite direction from west to east (anti-clockwise). Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.

Light propagating in the glass n1= 1.65 wall of an aquarium tank strikes the interior edge of the wall with incidence angle 19.0

jonny [76]

We can solve this using Snell's Law which is represented by the equation:
sin θ₁ / sin θ₂ = n₂ / n₁

From the problem, we can substitute values and solve for the angle of refraction.
sin 19 / sin θ₂ = 1.65 / 1
θ₂ = 11.38°

The angle of refraction would be 11.38°.
