What effect does Earth’s spherical shape have on the amount of sunlight that reaches the equator?

Because the Earth<span> is a sphere, the surface gets much more intense </span>sunlight<span>, hence heat, at </span>the equator<span>than at the poles.</span>

<h2>Answer with Explanation </h2>

The reason of this is because the shape of the Earth is spherical, this causes the Earth’s surface to get struck by the sun’s rays at different angles, creating different variants in temperatures on Earth. A perpendicular (90 degrees) angle to the Earth is formed when the equator receives intense sunlight directly as compared to the poles. At the poles, upto period of 24 hours.

A regulation basketball has a 15 cm diameter and may be appropriated as a thin spherical shell.

REY [17]

Solution :

From the given data,

For the spherical shell is $\frac{k^2}{R^2}= \frac{2}{3}$

where x is the radius of gyration and the acceleration of a rolling body on an inclined plane = a

Therefore,

$a =\frac{g \sin \theta}{1+ \frac{k^2}{R^2}}$

$= \frac{g \sin \theta}{1 +\frac{2}{3}}$

$= \frac{3}{5} g \sin \theta$

= 0.6 x 9.81 x sin ( 29.7)

$= 2.913 \ m/s^2$

$h = \frac{1}{2} a(\Delta t)^2$

$\Delta t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{a}}$

$\Delta t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 2.9}{2.913}}$

Δt = 1.411 s

Suppose astronomers built a 150-meter telescope. how much greater would its light-collecting area be than that of the 10-meter k

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Almost all telescopes have a circular mirror. The area of a circle is proportional to $r^2$ where $r$ is the radius of the circle, the constant of proportionality being $4\pi$
$S =4\pi r^2$
Therefore the area of 150 meter telescope would be
$S_1/S_2=(r_1/r_2)^2 =(75/5)^2 =15^2=225$
times bigger than the area of the smaller (10 meter) telescope.

Which statement best describes the movement of electrical current when a capacitor is used in a circuit?

Masteriza [31]

Answer: B.

Capacitors prevent current from moving through a circuit

Explanation:

If a direct voltage is applied on the capacitor, no conduction current flows through the capacitor if its insulating medium is perfect insulator. This is due to the fact that there are no free charge carriers in such medium. Basically the real insulator contains very few charge carriers and therefore a very small leakage current passes in the capacitor depending on the conductivity of the insulator.

If an alternating voltage is applied on the capacitor, a displacement current passes through the capacitor irrespective of the insulating medium. This current is termed also the capacitive current. It flows because of changing electric displacement with time.
