The trickiest part of this problem was making sure where the Yakima Valley is.
OK so it's generally around the city of the same name in Washington State.
Just for a place to work with, I picked the Yakima Valley Junior College, at the
corner of W Nob Hill Blvd and S16th Ave in Yakima. The latitude in the middle
of that intersection is 46.585° North. <u>That's</u> the number we need.
Here's how I would do it:
-- The altitude of the due-south point on the celestial equator is always
(90° - latitude), no matter what the date or time of day.
-- The highest above the celestial equator that the ecliptic ever gets
is about 23.5°.
-- The mean inclination of the moon's orbit to the ecliptic is 5.14°, so
that's the highest above the ecliptic that the moon can ever appear
in the sky.
This sets the limit of the highest in the sky that the moon can ever appear.
90° - 46.585° + 23.5° + 5.14° = 72.1° above the horizon .
That doesn't happen regularly. It would depend on everything coming
together at the same time ... the moon happens to be at the point in its
orbit that's 5.14° above ==> (the point on the ecliptic that's 23.5° above
the celestial equator).
Depending on the time of year, that can be any time of the day or night.
The most striking combination is at midnight, within a day or two of the
Winter solstice, when the moon happens to be full.
In general, the Full Moon closest to the Winter solstice is going to be
the moon highest in the sky. Then it's going to be somewhere near
67° above the horizon at midnight.
Answer:
10 ms⁻¹
Explanation:
The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two factors
- mass of the moving object
- speed of motion
In terms of an equation,
Momentum (P) = Mass(m)×velocity(v)
P = m×v
600 = 60 × v ⇒ v = 10 ms⁻¹
Answer:
1) In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it converges at F and 2F.
Explanation:
Spherical mirrors can be used for magnification of images. There are basically two types of spherical mirrors and they are converging mirror and diverging mirrors. The converging mirrors are also termed as concave mirrors and its basic work is to converge or combine light rays coming from a larger distance to a single point. Mostly the light beams falling parallel to the principle axis of the concave mirror will be acting as parallel rays. And when these parallel rays fall on the mirror, the converging point can be the focal point of the mirror.
Thus the location of converging point in concave mirrors will be based on the position or distance of object from the mirror. If the object distance is very far from the twice the focal length distance of mirror, then the converging point will be the focal point or F. And if the object is placed slightly greater than twice the distance of focal point, then the image will be obtained at 2F. But the parallel beams will be converging at F and 2F.
The behavior of an ideal gas at constant temperature obeys Boyle's Law of
p*V = constant
where
p = pressure
V = volume.
Given:
State 1:
p₁ = 10⁵ N/m² (Pa)
V₁ = 2 m³
State 2:
V₂ = 1 m³
Therefore the pressure at state 2 is given by
p₂V₂ = p₁V₁
or
p₂ = (V₁/V₂) p₁
= 2 x 10⁵ Pa
Answer: 2 x 10⁵ N/m² or 2 atm.
