Does the sun always shine directly overhead at the equator at noon

Physics

Nikitich [7]3 years ago

The sun always shines directly overhead at noon. This is because the equator always gets the equivalent amount of sunlight. The area always get 12 hours of sunlight, because it's 0 degrees north and south and it's at the center of the Earth.

An apple falls from an apple tree growing on a 20° slope. The apple hits the ground with an impact velocity of 16.2 m/s straight
EleoNora [17]

Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

so here we have

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?
MrRa [10]

Question:

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?

Answer:

Disadvantages of Nuclear Power

The further implementations of nuclear power are limited because although nuclear energy does not produce CO2 the way fossil fuels do, there is still a toxic byproduct produced from uranium-fueled nuclear cycles: radioactive fission waste.

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.83 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a
timama [110]

Answer:

The tangential speed of the tack is 6.988 meters per second.

Explanation:

The tangential speed experimented by the tack (v), measured in meters per second, is equal to the product of the angular speed of the wheel (\omega), measured in radians per second, and the distance of the tack respect to the rotation axis (R), measured in meters, length that coincides with the radius of the tire. First, we convert the angular speed of the wheel from revolutions per second to radians per second:

\omega = 2.83\,\frac{rev}{s} \times \frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev}

\omega \approx 17.781\,\frac{rad}{s}

Then, the tangential speed of the tack is: (\omega \approx 17.781\,\frac{rad}{s}, R = 0.393\,m)

v = \left(17.781\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)\cdot (0.393\,m)

v = 6.988\,\frac{m}{s}

The tangential speed of the tack is 6.988 meters per second.
