What is the pin of a sundial whose shadow points to the hour called?
The pin of a sundial where the shadow falls is called the gnomon. It is typically a thin, straight rod that extends vertically from the sundial's base. The shadow cast by the gnomon is used to indicate the time of day on the sundial's face.
Is the sun considered an average star?
The Sun is actually relatively small, but recently discovered to be brighter than 85% of stars in the Milky Way. It is classed as a Yellow Dwarf.
Why a space shuttle take off vertically?
Because if it took off horizontally, it would continue to circle the earth, hitting all those people in the boats that are watching the take-off, then continue until it came to a land mass and possibly strike buildings, vehicles, people...until it exploded into a fireball of great magnitude. So, to avoid this, NASA decided to have the shuttles take off vertically. < It takes off vertically to reach less dense air ( less drag and aerodynamic heating ), and then begins a pitch maneuver to increase its tangential ( to the Earth) velocity; which eventually leads to a continuous orbit about the Earth. This procedure reduces the necessary on board mass of propellant on the spacecraft. The shuttle is essentially in free fall around the Earth ( imagine a cannon being fired at such a speed that it as it falls, the curvature of the Earth decreases in a proportional manner).>
Is slenderman in gravity falls?
No.
What is it called when liquid water falls from the atmosphere?
When liquid water falls from the atmosphere, it is called rain.
How high can a tiger be trained to jump vertically?
Question is not clear. Vertically down or up? Up -> may be to 16ft, I guess.. Down -> depends on where it falls from
Removing the restrictor on a moen shower head?
Sometimes you have to drill them out by drilling from the bottom so the excess falls out of the head vertically.
Does rain fall vertically?
Not always. Rain often falls diagonally due to the wind. In very strong wind rain can be nearly horizontal.
Which direction does the rain fall when falling to the earth?
Rain typically falls vertically from the sky to the earth. The direction is influenced by gravity and wind patterns in the atmosphere.
Where is sun rays falls vertically on the earth?
Sun rays fall vertically on the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn twice a year during the summer solstice and winter solstice, respectively. This is when these locations experience either the longest or shortest day of the year.
What is the cheapest way to get from NYC to Niagara Falls?
you would rather drive there
What are the forces acting on a shuttlecock when it falls vertically downward through the air?
The main forces acting on a shuttlecock falling vertically downward through the air are gravity pulling it down and air resistance pushing against its motion. Gravity accelerates the shuttlecock downward while air resistance slows its descent by pushing against its surface. These forces will determine the shuttlecock's acceleration and terminal velocity as it falls.
When a bullet is fired upwards vertically it gains?
When a bullet is fired upwards vertically, it gains potential energy as it rises due to the increase in its height above the ground. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the bullet falls back to the ground. The total mechanical energy of the bullet remains constant neglecting air resistance.
What is the graph of the motion of a body falling vertically that reaches a terminal speed?
The graph of the motion of a body falling vertically that reaches a terminal speed would show an initial acceleration until the body reaches its terminal velocity. At this point, the graph would level off, showing constant velocity as the body falls continuously.
What are the differences between projectile motion and free fall?
Projectile motion involves an object moving both horizontally and vertically, while free fall is when an object falls only vertically due to gravity. In projectile motion, the object has an initial horizontal velocity, while in free fall, the object is only affected by gravity.
Do dark colors attract more light than light colors?
The don't exactly "attract" the light; rather, if light falls on them, a larger percentage of the light will be absorbed.
What angle does rain fall at in a wind of 45 miles per hour?
Rain typically falls vertically due to gravity, regardless of wind speed. The angle at which rain falls may vary slightly depending on wind direction and intensity, but it is generally close to vertical.
