If tonight were clear and you went out to find the star Polaris, how many degrees would it be above the northern horizon?
Position of polaris above the horizon is equal to the latitude of the location. My latitude is 26.7271° N. So, the polarish is seen above the horizon at 26.7271°.

1. Seen from the northern latitudes on the Earth, the altitude of the star Polaris a) is never above the horizon during the day b) always sets directly in the west c) is equal to your latitude on the Earth d) is never visible during the winter e) is the brightest star in the sky 2. On March 21/22, the sun shines most directly on the Earth’s surface… a) 23 ½ degrees north of the equator. b) 23 ½ degrees...
Lance Lopez went to his bank to find out how long it take for $2100 to amount to $2225 at 5% simple interest. Can you solve lances problem?
2. In the mixing process you analyzed, the inner calorimeter cup started how many degrees below room temperature and ended how many degrees above room temperature? Explain why using water from the water cooler, rather than tap water (or hot water or ice water or water from a bottle in your backpack) is a good choice for an accurate experiment. 3. Suppose that a student stirs the calorimeter very zealously, rather than gently, in step 5. Suppose the student exerts...
Gordon Rosel went to his bank to find out how long it will take for $2,200 to amount to $3,150 at 12% simple interest. Calculate the number of years. (Round time in years to the nearest tenth.) Number of years
People at a shopping mall were asked how many times they went to the movies in the last month. The results are listed in the table below. Use that information for parts a and b. х 0 1 P(x) 0.453 0.102 0.239 0.071 0.249 2 3 4 a. Does the table represent a probability distribution? (2 points) A. Yes B. No b. If "yes", give the mean (1) and standard deviation (o), if "no", give at least one requirement that...
Suppose you were to look at a star in the sky with your naked eye. The star's light enters your eye's pupil, which has a diameter of 0.6 cm. Now suppose you look at the same star through the Carleton observatory 14-inch (35.6 cm) diameter telescope. How many times larger is the light gathering power of the telescope compared to that of your naked eye?
How many observers would it take to cancel out the number of photons produced in a medium sized star like our Sun, thus making it dark? (I want to consume more photons than the star is generating)
how would you calculate degrees of freedom if you were given an spss table? very confused thank you
3.) If you were somehow able to stand on the surface of a neutron star, you would experience acceleration due to gravity of about 1.3 x 10^12 m/sec^2. [If you dropped a ball while standing there, the ball would quickly approach the speed of light in less than one second!] What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a neutron star in \english" units of miles/hr^2? Explicitly show how you converted the units. 4.) There are three...
If I had a normal population, and I went out and got bunch of sample pairs (lets pretend it was a thousand)... If were to do an F test for an variance eqaulity... and lets say I wanted a 95% confidence... how many times do I expect to reject my null? I'm not sure how I would go about this? How would i know with out actual data to plug into my numbers?
