Answer:

The point straight overhead on the celestial sphere for any observer is called the zenith and is always 90 degrees from the horizon. The arc that goes through the north point on the horizon, zenith, and south point on the horizon is called the meridian.

From any location on Earth you see only half of the celestial sphere, the half above the horizon.

If you stood at the North Pole of Earth, for example, you would see the north celestial pole overhead, at your zenith. The celestial equator, 90° from the celestial poles, would lie along your horizon.

Science question: How do humans use the magnetic field for navigation?

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Magnetoreception (also magnetoception) is a sense which allows an organism to detect a magnetic field to perceive direction, altitude, or location. This sensory modality is used by a range of animals for orientation and navigation, and as a method for animals to develop regional maps.

A rod has a radius of 10 mm is subjected to an axial load of 15 N such that the axial strain in the rod is ????௫ = 2.75*10-6, de

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Knowing we only have one load applied in just one direction we have to use the Hooke's law for one dimension

ex = бx/E

бx = Fx/A = Fx/π $r^{2}$

Using both equation and solving for the modulus of elasticity E

E = бx/ex = Fx / π $r^{2}$ ex

E = $\frac{15}{pi (10 * 10^{-3})^{2} * 2.75 * 10^{-6} } = 17.368 * 10^{9} Pa = 17.4 GPa$

Apply the Hooke's law for either y or z direction (circle will change in every direction) we can find the change in radius

ey = $\frac{1}{E}$ (бy - v (бx + бz)) = $-\frac{v}{E}$ бx

= $\frac{vFx}{Epir^{2} }$ = $\frac{0.23 * 15}{pi (10 * 10^{-3)^{2} } * 17.362 * 10^{9} } = -0.63 *10^{-6}$

Finally

ey = Δr / r

Δr = ey * r = 10 * $-0.63* 10^{-6} mm = -6.3 * 10^{-6} mm$

Δd = 2Δr = $-12.6 * 10^{-6} mm$

Dalton’s completing an investigation in the science lab. He observes that a sample of liquid turns to gas at 135°C. What’s this

artcher [175]

The temperature at which the sample of liquid turns to gas at 135 °C is termed as boiling point.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The observation of conversion of liquid to gas indicates that there is occurrence of change in the state of matter. The inter-conversion from one state to another can be done by either varying the temperature or by varying the pressure.

In this case, the liquid on heating gets converted to gaseous state after attaining a particular temperature say 135 °C. So, this process of conversion from liquid to gaseous state on heating is termed as boiling.

The temperature at which a liquid converts to gas is termed as the boiling point of that liquid.
