What do we have seasons on earth

Physics
1 answer:
Goryan [66]3 years ago

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.

A helium atom (mass 4.0 u) moving at 598 m/s to the right collides with an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving in the same direct
labwork [276]

Answer:

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u

u₁=598 m/s

Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u

u₂  = 401 m/s

v₂ =445 m/s

Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.

Speed of the helium after collision = v₁

There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum

P = m v

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445

v₁ = 246 m/s

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Two cars having different weights are traveling on a level surface at different constant velocities. Within the same time interv
GuDViN [60]

I think you're saying that once you start pushing on the cars, you want to be able to stop each one in the same time. 

This is sneaky.  At first, I thought it must be both 'c' and 'd'.  But it's not
kinetic energy, for reasons I'm not ambitious enough to go into.
(And besides, there's no great honor awarded around here for explaining
why any given choice is NOT the answer.)

The answer is momentum.

Momentum is (mass x speed).  Change in momentum is (force x time).

No matter the weight (mass) or speed of the car, the one with the greater
momentum is always the one that will require the greater (force x time)
to stop it.  If the time is the same for any car, then more momentum
will always require more force.

If a range hood removes contaminants at a flow rate of F liters of air per​ second, then the percent P of contaminants that are
podryga [215]

Explanation:

The given value of P is as follows.

           P = 1.06F + 22.18,           10 \leq F \leq 70

or,       P' = 1.06

As p' is defined and non-zero. Hence, only critical points are boundary points.

For F = 10, the value of P will be calculated as follows.

         P = 1.06 \times 10 + 22.18

            = 32.78

For F = 70, the value of P will be calculated as follows.

        P = 1.06 \times 70 + 22.18

           = 96.38

Therefore, the minimum value of P is 32.78 and maximum value of P is 96.38.

Describe the difference between contact forces and field forces.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Contact forces has to be touching for it to be an actual force. A field force does not have to be touching but it does have to be acting on particles at different positions in a space.
