Answer:
rotation and revolution
Explanation:
out of the four motions the earth is subject to which are: rotation about its axis, revolution around the Sun, processional motion (a slow conical movement
) of the axis, and the solar motion (this refers to the
movement of the whole solar system with space), only two are of any
importance to meteorology as this two causes changes in weather and seasons. The first motion is rotation. Earth rotates on its axis
once every 24 hours. One-half of the Earth’s surface is
therefore facing the Sun at all times. The second motion of Earth is its revolution around the Sun. The revolution around the Sun and the earth tilt on its axis are responsible for changes in seasons. The Earth
makes one complete revolution around the Sun in
approximately 365 1/4 days.

-- Two satellites at the same distance, different masses:
The forces of gravity between two objects are directly
proportional to the product of the objects' masses. In
other words, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and an object on its surface are proportional to the mass of
the object. In other words, people with more mass weigh more
on the Earth, and the Earth weighs more on them.
If the satellites are both at the same distance from Earth,
then the Earth pulls on the one with more mass with greater
force, and also the one with more mass pulls on the Earth
with greater force.
-- Two satellites with the same mass, at different distances:
The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.
In other words, the gravitational
forces between the Earth
and an object are inversely proportional
to the square of
the distance between the object and the center of the Earth.
If
the satellites both have the same mass, then the Earth
pulls on the nearer one with greater force, and also the
nearer one pulls on the Earth with greater force.
-- Resistor in a circuit when the voltage changes:
The resistance depends on how the resistor was manufactured.
Its resistance is marked on it, and doesn't change. It remains
the same whether the voltage changes, the current changes,
the time of day changes, the cost of oil changes, etc.
If you increase the voltage in the circuit where that resistor is
installed, the current through the resistor increases. If the current
remains constant, then you can be sure that somebody snuck over
to your circuit when you weren't looking, and they either installed
another resistor in series with the original one to make the total
resistance bigger, or else they snipped the original one out of the
circuit and quickly connected one with more resistance in its place.
Answer:
v = -14 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial location of the ball, X₁ = 10 m
Final position of the ball, X₂ = -25 m
Time taken to travel is, t = 2.5 s
The average velocity of the ball is given by the formula,
V = X₂ - X₁ / t m/s
Substituting the values in the above equation,
V = -25 - 10 / 2.5
= -14 m/s
The negative sign in the velocity indicates that ball rolls in the opposite direction.
Hence, the average velocity of the ball is v = -14 m/s
