Answer:

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Hope it helps..

Answer:

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Explanation:

It's all about Earth's tilt!

Claim:- Many people believe that Earth is closer to the Sun in the summer and that is why it is hotter. And, likewise, they think Earth is farthest from the Sun in the winter.

Although this idea makes sense, it is incorrect.

It is true that Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle. It is a bit lop-sided. During part of the year, Earth is closer to the Sun than at other times. However, in the Northern Hemisphere, we are having winter when Earth is closest to the Sun and summer when it is farthest away! Compared with how far away the Sun is, this change in Earth's distance throughout the year does not make much difference to our weather.

There is a different reason for Earth's seasons.

Reasoning:- earth's axis is an imaginary pole going right through the center of Earth from "top" to "bottom." Earth spins around this pole, making one complete turn each day. That is why we have day and night, and why every part of Earth's surface gets some of each.

Earth has seasons because its axis doesn't stand up straight.

But what caused Earth to tilt?

Long, long ago, when Earth was young, it is thought that something big hit Earth and knocked it off-kilter. So instead of rotating with its axis straight up and down, it leans over a bit.

By the way, that big thing that hit Earth is called Theia. It also blasted a big hole in the surface. That big hit sent a huge amount of dust and rubble into orbit. Most scientists think that that rubble, in time, became our Moon.

As Earth orbits the Sun, its tilted axis always points in the same direction. So, throughout the year, different parts of Earth get the Sun’s direct rays.

Sometimes it is the North Pole tilting toward the Sun (around June) and sometimes it is the South Pole tilting toward the Sun (around December).

It is summer in June in the Northern Hemisphere because the Sun's rays hit that part of Earth more directly than at any other time of the year. It is winter in December in the Northern Hemisphere, because that is when it is the South Pole's turn to be tilted toward the Sun.

Earth's lopsided orbit

Evidence- Earth's perihelion (point closest to Sun) = 91,400,000 miles from Sun

Earth's aphelion (point farthest from Sun) = 94,500,000 miles from Sun

While that is a difference of over 3 million miles, relative to the entire distance, it isn’t much.

And, believe it or not, aphelion (when Earth is farthest from the Sun) occurs in July, and perihelion (when we are closest) occurs in January. For those of us who live in the Northern Hemisphere where it's summer in July and winter in January, that seems backwards, doesn't it? That just goes to prove that Earth's distance from the Sun is not the cause of the seasons.

As Aubrey watches this merry-go-round for a total of 2 minutes, she notices the black horse pass by 15 times. What is the period
Hunter-Best [27]
Periodic time is the time taken for one complete oscillation by a body in circular motion. In this case the merry-go round takes 2 minutes to cover 15 complete oscillations. 2 Minutes = 120 seconds
Hence, 15 oscillations takes 120 secs
         thus 1 oscillation takes 120/15 = 8 seconds
therefore the period of the merry-go-round = 8 seconds

Two people travel from Columbus to Cleveland, one by car at an average velocity of 90km/h, and one by plane at an average veloci
Flura [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , their displacement may be equal .

Suppose the displacement is AB where A is starting point and B is end point .

The car is covering the distance AB by going from A to B on straight line . On the other hand plane goes from A to C , then from C to D and then from D to B . In this way plane reaches B from A on a different path which is longer than path of the car . In the second case also displacement of plane is AB . In the second case distance covered is longer but displacement is same that is AB .

A wheel free to rotate about its axis that is not frictionless is initially at rest. A constant external torque of +46 N·m is ap
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let Torque due to friction be

F  

Net torque

= 46 - F

Angular impulse = change in angular momentum

=(  46 - F ) x 17  = I X 580

When external torque is removed , only friction creates torque reducing its speed to zero in 120 s so

Angular impulse = change in angular momentum

F  x 120 = I X 580

(  46 - F ) x 17 = F  x 120

137 F = 46 x 17

F = 5.7 Nm

b )

Putting this value in first equation

5.7 x 120 = I x 580

I = 1.18 kg m²

Describe four consequences of having a different type of joint in the thumb.​
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Essentially, your thumb is the main piece of your body that has saddle joints. The bones in your seats joint are in charge of moving forward and backward, side to side.

When all is said in done, the piece of the thumb joint that is subjected to extreme anxiety is that known as CMC joint or carpometacarpal joint. This joint is fundamentally shaped by the metacarpal bone and it explains with the trapezium bone of the wrist.
