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.

1.8 J

Explanation:

I had this exact question today and found someone who had solved it before, this was their response to the work done by gravity. They used the name "physicsmom"

Vertical distance = 1.8 sin 30 = .9 m

W = 2 N * .9 m = 1.8J

Good luck! I hope this helps!

$acceleration=\frac{\Delta\ velocity}{\Delta\ time}\\\\
v_{initial}=0,57m/s\\
distance=1360m\\ \Delta\ time=89,49seconds\\\\
v_{final}-v_{initial}=\frac{distance}{time}\\
v_{final}=\frac{distance}{time}+v_{initial}\\
v_{final}=\frac{1360}{89,49}+0,57\\\\v_{final}=15,77\frac{m}{s}\\\\
acceleration=\frac{15,77-0,57}{89,49}=0,17\frac{m}{s^2}\\\\ \boxed{acceleration=0,17\frac{m}{s^2}}$

In which direction is the magnetic force acting on the charge? into the screen out of the screen up down

Harrizon [31]

The direction in which the magnetic force is acting on the charge is upwards.

<h3>What is Magnetic force?</h3>

This is the attraction and repulsion which usually occurs during the motion of electrically charged particles.

In the magnetic field, the charge is moving to the left. Therefore the direction the magnetic force is acting on the charge is upwards which is gotten via right hand rule.
