What do we have seasons on earth

Physics

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.

final velocity = 4.92 m/s

constant acceleration so,

(a) average velocity =

(initial velocity + final velocity)/2

(b) distance = average velocity x time

substitute and calculate

A system delivers 1275 j of heat while the surroundings perform 855 j of work on it. calculate ∆esys in j.
kakasveta [241]
The first law of thermodynamics says that the variation of internal energy of a system is given by:
\Delta U = Q + W
where Q is the heat delivered by the system, while W is the work done on the system.

We must be careful with the signs here. The sign convention generally used is:
Q positive = Q absorbed by the system
Q negative = Q delivered by the system
W positive = W done on the system
W negative = W done by the system

So, in our problem, the heat is negative because it is releaed by the system: 
Q=-1275 J
while the work is positive because it is performed by the surrounding on the system:
W=+855 J

So, the variation of internal energy of the system is
\Delta U = -1275 J+855 J=-420 J
