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.

shtirl [24]

Q: ken, 0.75 kg, moves toward a wall (his path normal to the wall) at 52 m/s. 13.0 ms after he touches the wall he pushes himself off in the opposite direction at 60 m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force the wall exerts on Ken during this rapid maneuver

Answer:

-6461.54 N

Explanation:

From Newton's Fundamental equation,

F = m(v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted in sonic, m = mass of ken, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: m = 0.75 kg, v = - 60 m/s (opposite direction), u = 52 m/s, t = 13 ms = 0.013 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.75(-60-52)/0.013

F = 0.75(-112)/0.013

F = -84/0.013

F = -6461.54 N

Note: The negative sign tells that the force act in opposite direction to the initial motion of ken.

Hence the magnitude of the average force of the wall = -6461.54 N

What is the equation for measuring the change in thermal energy?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Explanation: I think...

Thermal Energy formula Q = mcΔT

Q = Thermal Energy(J)

m = Mass(kg)

c = Specific Heat(J/kg°C)

ΔT = Change in Temperature(°C)

you have to write the equation based on what you are working on
