Why can the sun ever reach zenith (90 degrees) position in NY?

Geography
1 answer:
Alenkinab [10]4 years ago

New York City is roughly 41° north of the equator, along the curved surface
of the ball-shaped Earth.  In order for the sun to be at the Zenith ... to be
90° above the horizon and shine straight down on New York ... the equator
would have to be tilted 41° away from the plane in which the Earth's orbit
lies.  But it isn't.  It's only tilted about 23.5° away from that plane. So the
sun can never be directly overhead at any place that's more than 23.5°
away from the equator.

Question 2
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The probability of a Virgin America flight being delayed by a late-arriving aircraft is 1.73%. The probability of a Virgin America flight being delayed for any reason is 8.01% (as calculated in Question 1).

So if a Virgin America flight is delayed, the probability that it is because of a late-arriving aircraft is  1.73/8.01=21.6%

De qué factor depende la mayor o menor excentricidad de una elipse?
omeli [17]

Answer:

La excentricidad puede tomar valores entre 0 y 1 (0≤e≤1). Es 0 cuando la elipse es una circunferencia. En este caso los semiejes mayor y menor son iguales y los focos (F1 y F1) coinciden en el centro de la elipse. Cuando la excentricidad crece y tiende a 1, la elipse se aproxima a un segmento.
