Latitude affects the length of the day due to the inclination of its axial tilt, which also influences the reception of sunlight.

<h3>What is Earth's inclination?</h3>

Earth's inclination makes reference to its axial tilt which is approximately 23.5 degrees.

Earth's inclination influence the amount of sunlight received by the Earth's surface, thereby affecting the length of the day at different latitudes.

This difference is more marked at high latitudes and near the Earth's poles, we have six months of plenty of light and six months of night.

In conclusion, latitude affects the length of the day due to the inclination of its axial tilt which also influences the reception of sunlight.

Force F=2.0N i - 3.0N k acts on a pebble with position vectorr=0.50m j - 2.0m k relative to the origin. In unit vector notation,

klasskru [66]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Force acts on a pebble= $2\hat{i}-3\hat{k}$ N

Position vector= $r=0.5\hat{j}-2\hat{k}$ m

a.We have to find the resulting torque on the pebble about origin.

Torque= $r\times F$

Substitute the values then we get

$Torque= (0.5j-2k)\times (2i-3k)$

Torque= $-k-1.5i-4j$ N-m

By using $i\times j=k,j\times k=i,k\times i=j,j\times i=-k,k\times j=-i,i\times k=-j,i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0$

b. $r=2i-3k$

$r-r_1=(0.5j-2k)-(2i-3k)=-2i+0.5j+k$

Torque about point (2,0,-3)

$\tau=(-2i+0.5j+k)\times (2i-3k)$

$\tau=-6j-k-1.5i+2j=-1.5i-4j-k$ N-m

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

$F=\frac{dp}{dt}$ ............................................(1)

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

$p=m.v$

Now, equation (1) becomes:

$F=\frac{d(m.v)}{dt}$

∵mass is constant at speeds v << c (speed of light)

$\therefore F=m.\frac{dv}{dt}$

and, $\frac{dv}{dt} =a$

where: a = acceleration

$\Rightarrow F=m.a$

also

$F\propto \frac{1}{dt}$

so, more the time, lesser the force.

& Impulse:

$I=F.dt$

$I=m.a.dt$

$I=m.\frac{dv}{dt}.dt$

$I=m.dv=dp$

∵Initial velocity and final velocity(=0), of a certain mass is same irrespective of the stopping method.

So, the impulse in both the cases will be same.

Newton's Law of Cooling says that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the difference between its own temperature

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

$\frac{dQ}{dt} =-hA\Delta T(t)$

Explanation:Newton.s law of cooling states that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the difference between its own temperatures and temperature of its surroundings. Mathematically,

$\frac{dQ}{dt} =-hA [T(t)-T(s)]\\$
