Obviously we all know the sun generally rises in the east and sets in the west. But due to axial tilt, it is only really due east and due west at the equinoxes. At other times of the year, the sunrise will be somewhat north of east or south of east (and likewise for the sunset, but let's focus...

Which table will be more difficult to tilt? ~ PLEASE HELP!? Hi, I'm very confused to answer this question, please somebody help. I need an exact scientific reason as well. The question goes like: There are three tables of different shapes: triangular, rectangular and circular. Which one will...

Homework Statement Give two reasons why the cooling water is led into the lower end rather than the upper end of the condenser? Homework Equations We were distilling a Cobalt III solution. The Attempt at a Solution I think one reason may be to prevent air pockets forming in the...

In the Northern Hemisphere of North America is the sun closest in the elliptical motion in the winter but the tilt is away from its intensity at the Tropic Of Capricorn? In the summer is the sun farthest in the elliptical motion but the tilt is toward the Tropic of Cancer and North America?

The Earth revolves 360 degrees around the sun and its tilt changes from 23.5 to -23.5 and then back to 23.5 degrees. My question is whether the Earth axis tilt is linearly propotional to its position in the orbit? We know that at 4 positions : 0o, 90o, 180o and 270o , it fits. Thanks for any...

Specially in a fighter airplane. We don't feel much of the tilt as the plane tilts or flips, even though its velocity is not too high at that time?

mercury tilt switch? hi...is mercury switch available in stores and can be easily found?? also is there some circuit that functions same as the mercury switch?

Hi all! I'm working on some gravity expiraments with my professor and he's put me on the task of building a tilt sensor (to measure at any given time the tilt of the foundation with the center of the earth). I've been looking for schematics online, but I haven't had a ton of luck unless I...

Hello, I am new to this forum so not sure if this is the correct place for this post. How do I calculate the combined tilt of three axes? Please. Imagine a cube standing vertical on one corner, from the point where it touches the surface you have three angles x1, y1, z1. (Its initial...

Homework Statement figure attached: Uniform beam with mass M,is placed horizontally,pivoted about it's center on the beam there are two small masses m1 and m2,connected by a spring,the system is in equilibrium,and at t=0 the spring is cut,and m1 and m2 slide on the beam.(their speed is not...

I still cannot find any concrete explanation for tilt of planets like Mars and neptune. These planets must be taken into account to make theory much stable regarding tilt of planets.

i was wondering what causes the Earth's tilt on its axis. i was thinking that it might be from einsteins theory of gravity, in which a large object, such as the sun, causes a bend in space time forming gravity and causing Earth to rotate around it. any info would be great, thanks

I have a circuit that I am going to use as a bike alarm. The problem is that I will need a tilt switch which acts like a push-to-break switch :confused: ...is it possible to get a switch like that? ...or are there any alternatives?please reply...

Does anyone know how to calculate the angle at which the box will tilt, if the center of mass is above the center of buoyancy? Suppose we have a box with the dimensions: W:15.4 inches L:27.4 inches H:27 inches With the weight 2796,5 grams Center of mass is 8 inches from the bottom of the...
