Because the Earth's axis is not "straight up and down" as we move
around the sun.
So when we're on one side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly toward
the sun. During that time the sun shines more directly on the top half
of the Earth, and less directly on the bottom half. The people on the
top half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the bottom half see the sun lower in the sky, and
their weather is cooler.
Then, when we're on the other side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly
away from the sun. During that time the sun shines more directly on the
bottom half
of the Earth, and less directly on the top half. The people on
the bottom half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the top half see the sun lower in the sky, and their
weather is cooler.
The Earth makes the complete trip around the sun in one year, so the
people on the Earth go through this cycle of higher/lower sun and
warmer/cooler weather every year.
Answer:
(A) Velocity will be 1.88 m/sec
(b) Force will be 187.45 N
Explanation:
We have given work done = 4780 j
Distance d = 25.5 m
(A) Mass of the truck m = 
We know that kinetic energy is given by
So 
(B) We know that work done is given by
W = Fd
So 
Explanation:
When,the vehicle has uniform velocity, it's acceleration becomes zero
Answer:
Potential energy of spring = 24 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Spring constant = 85N/m
Extension, e = 0.75m
Mass = 25kg
To find the potential energy of a spring
Potential energy of a spring is given by the formula;
P.E = ½ke²
Substituting into the equation, we have
P.E = ½*85*0.75²
P.E = 42.5 * 0.5625
P.E = 23.91 ≈ 24 Joules
P.E = 24 Joules
The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.
