Low altitudes are close to the equator. The temperatures are warmer as the latitude decreases, so they are very warm at low latitudes.

Answer:

Explanation:

Weather is the combination of the parameters temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity, atmospheric pressure and cloudiness. These parameters are called weather elements. Climate factors are agents such as latitude, prevailing winds, sea currents, distance to the sea, altitude and relief, which modify, accentuate or limit the elements of the climate and give rise to different types of climates.

As mentioned, latitude is one of the factors that change the weather. Latitude is the angular distance from a point on the surface of the earth to the equator. It is measured in degrees, minutes and seconds.

The closer a place is to the equator, the solar energy will affect more vertically and with more intensity on it, so the warmer the temperatures will be. The further that point of the equator is found, the solar energy will reach it with a smaller angle. And if the point is near the poles, the sun's rays will arrive at a very small angle and only for a few months. This will make temperatures very low all year.

That is, in summary, the places that are at high altitudes (far from the equator) receive less sunlight than the places that are at low latitudes (near the equator) because the sun's rays have a greater or lesser obliqueness ( angle) over the earth's surface.

If a 1 kg book has 46 Joules of gravitational potential energy how high is the shelf it is on?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

4.7m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book  = 1kg

Gravitational potential energy  = 46J

Unknown:

Height of the shelf  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is due to the position of a body above the ground.

        Gravitational potential energy  = mgh

m is the mass,

g is the acceleration due gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height which is unknown

                       46  = 1 x 9.8 x h

                       h  = 4.7m

<em>Anything</em> that's dropped through air is somewhat affected by air resistance.  But, out of that list, the leaf and the balloon are the items that will be affected by air resistance enough so that you can plainly see it.

If you spend some time thinking about it, you can kind of understand why airplane wings and boat propellers are shaped more like leafs and balloons than like bricks and rocks.

45. What is the wovelength of a 30. Hertz periodic
Leviafan [203]

The wavelength is 2m.

Hence, Option c) 2m is the correct answer

Given that;

Frequency; f = 30Hz

Speed; v = 60m/s

Wavelength; \lambda =\ ?

using the expression for the relations between wavelength, frequency and speed of wave:

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Where \lambda is wavelength, f is frequency and v is speed.

We substitute our given values into the equation

\lambda = \frac{60m/s}{30Hz}\\\\\lambda = \frac{60m/s}{30s^{-1}}\\\\\lambda = 2m

The wavelength is 2m.

Hence, Option c) 2m is the correct answer.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Generally, when thermal energy is transferred to a material, the motion of its particles speeds up and its temperature increases. There are three methods of thermal energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. ... Convection transfers thermal energy through the movement of fluids or gases in circulation cells.
