Why is it warmer near the equator and cooler near the poles?

2 answers:

8 0

It is because the equator is closer to the sun and because the sun's rays hit the surface of the Earth at a higher angle at the equator. The poles are colder because they don't get direct sunlight. The sun is always low on the horizon.

It is warmer near the equator because sunlight hits Earth's surface most directly near the equator. Near the poles, sunlight arrives at a steep angle, so it must spread out over a greater area. Earth has seasons because the Earth's axis is tilted as it revolves around the sun.

A life preserver is thrown from an helicopter straight down to a person in distress. The initial velocity of the life preserver

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:29.627 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of life preserver(u) is 1.6 m/s

it takes 2.3 s to reach the water

using equation of motion

v=u+at

$v=1.6+9.81\times 2.3$

v=24.163 m/s

Let s be the height of life preserver

$v^2-u^2=2gs$

$24.163^2-1.6^2=2\times 9.81\times s$

$s=\frac{581.29}{2\times 9.81}$

s=29.627 m

If a neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge, the Como become charged by

LenKa [72]

The local charging of the comb is due to induction. The negative object's charge pushes electrons in the comb away from the side close to the charged object causing that part to be positively charged. Note that the comb's net charge is still zero provided it doesn't touch the object. When you move the comb away its electrons will redistribute.
