What is the meant when a planet rotates?
When a planet spins on its axis it is said to rotate. (Think of a top.)
What can you conclude about the state of motion of an object if displacement time graph is parallel to the time axis?
Said object is not moving
Which scientist said the earth spins?
Thomas Edison.
What quadrant would a point be located in if it is on an axis or both?
It won't be located on any of the axis. It would be said to be on x-axis or on y-axis (or) it would be said to be the origin accordingly.
Which scientist said an orbital must have opposite spins?
I believe no scientist said exactly this. It is the (two) electrons in the same orbital that must have opposite spins. And the scientist who said that was Wolfgang Pauli in 1925. (Pauli exclusion principle)
Why is Uranus nicknamed the sideways planet?
Uranus is sometimes referred to as the "sideways planet" because it spins on an axis that is tilted almost 98 degrees
What is the definition of vertical axis?
The vertical axis is a reference axis usually denoted as y-axis in Cartesian co-ordinate system. It can be said that a vertical axis is the axis perpendicular to a reference horizontal surface.
What is when the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be what?
Such an object is said to be in free fall.
The only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be?
The object is said to be in free fall.
When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is to be said?
The object is said to be in free fall, such as in orbit.
What does space planetary wobble means?
Wobble refers to the rotary motion of an object - on a axis of any angle, has a lopsided or off-balenced hemisphere or side(or multiple sides). When this object is in motion it will move in an uneven fashion everytime this particular hemishere(s) travels around said axis. This is probably the true reason the Earth has tides in its oceans, due to "planitary wobble". kiss me you fool
Do all planets spin?
Absolutely. Spin creates centrifugal force, which actually works against gravity. When a object on a planet spins with the planet, the spin of the planet is constantly trying to fling said object off into space, where as gravity is constantly forcing the object toward the spinning body. If the spin became so great that it overcame the gravitational pull, the object would be flung into space. While spin does not actually affect the gravity of an object, it can reduce the amount of gravity an object on the surface experiences.
