What else can I help you with?
What is the thing that moves in an orbit around something?
An object that orbits around another - is called a satellite.
How do shadows help us tell time?
A sundial is a perfect example of using a shadow to tell the time during the day. As the Sun moves across the sky, the shadow cast by the sundial moves round in a circle, and the circle is marked in hours and minutes.
What is the name of the special path that moves around the sun?
The Earth moves round the Sun in a path called an orbit. All the planets go round the Sun in their own orbits, that way they do not collide. For the Earth, one whole circle round the Sun takes exactly one year.
Who taught that the Earth is stationary and at the center of the universe with the Sun the Moon and the planets moving around Earth in perfect circles?
It was mentioned byEudoxus at first,thenanswer 2: The ancient Greeks knoew that planets do not move in simple circles and Ptolemy's model explains the orbits, which are slightly elliptical, by using circles on circles, in other words the Earth (for example) goes once round a small circle called an epicycle each year, while the centre of the epicycle, called the deferent, moves in a circle. In Ptolemy's theory the Sun moves round the Earth in that manner, while in Copernicus's theory the Sun stays still and the Earth moves.
A week after the new Moon we see half the moons face lit up it looks like a semi circle this phase is called what?
A week after the new Moon, when half of the Moon's face is illuminated, it is called the First Quarter phase. During this phase, the Moon appears as a semi-circle, with the right half lit up in the Northern Hemisphere. This occurs as the Moon moves in its orbit and more of its surface becomes visible from Earth.
Examples of linear motion?
Linear motion is something that moves in a straight line like a car moving straight on a road .
What moves in an orbit or circle around something?
The verb is also "orbit".
Uniform linear motion vs uniform circular motion?
Linear motion goes in a straight line (apply laws of physics: a body in motion will stay in motion unless otherwise impeded, most often by some type of friction or another body). Circular motion (or non-linear motion) involves revolutions and creates centrifigal force (measured in G's if you're in the air force)
What is non-uniform circular motion?
That means that something moves in a circle, but that the velocity is not uniform.
When something moves by itself What is it called?
It is called self-propulsion when something moves by itself, typically using its own energy or mechanism to generate motion.
What is a rotary motion?
That refers to something that moves around in a circle.
What is the apparent path of a moving object due to the earths rotation called?
An object that is stationary on the earth's surface moves in a small circle, unless it's on the equator when it moves in a great circle.
What is the curved path of a moving object due to the earth's rotation called?
An object that is stationary on the earth's surface moves in a small circle, unless it's on the equator when it moves in a great circle.
What is non uniform circular motion?
Non-uniform circular motion occurs when an object moves in a circle at varying speeds. This means the object's velocity changes in magnitude and/or direction as it moves around the circle. It is caused by an external force that is not perfectly balanced or directed towards the center of the circle.
When something moves back and forth quickly what is it called?
It is called vibrations.
What is apparent curved path of a moving object due to earths rotation called?
An object that is stationary on the earth's surface moves in a small circle, unless it's on the equator when it moves in a great circle.
What is centripetal acceration in physics?
That means acceleration towards the center. For example, this happens any time something moves in a circle.
