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.

The element selenium (Se) bonds with chlorine (Cl) to make the formula SeCl2 Chlorine is more electronegative than selenium. Wha
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Selenium dichloride

Explanation:

Selenium (Se) and Chlorine (Cl) are both elements capable of combining together to form a compound with the chemical formula; SeCl2. Since the chlorine atom is more electronegative than selenium atom, the chlorine pulls more electrons towards itself to form an IONIC bond.

The SeCl2 compound formed is called Selenium dichloride as two atoms of Chlorine are needed to combine with one atom of Selenium to form the compound.

On a balanced seesaw, a boy three times as heavy as his partner sits
slega [8]

Answer:

1/3 the distance from the fulcrum

Explanation:

On a balanced seesaw, the torques around the fulcrum calculated on one side and on another side must be equal. This means that:

W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2

where

W1 is the weight of the boy

d1 is its distance from the fulcrum

W2 is the weight of his partner

d2 is the distance of the partner from the fulcrum

In this problem, we know that the boy is three times as heavy as his partner, so

W_1 = 3 W_2

If we substitute this into the equation, we find:

(3 W_2) d_1 = W_2 d_2

and by simplifying:

3 d_1 = d_2\\d_1 = \frac{1}{3}d_2

which means that the boy sits at 1/3 the distance from the fulcrum.

Which phrase best describes sir isaac newton's contributions to modern science and therefore to the industrial revolution?
astraxan [27]
Can you please give the phrases? 

But, I'll help what I can.

First, he was the first to discover gravity. He was not bonked by the head by an apple, rather he watched an apple fall from a tree before he decided to explore gravity further. 

He was also the first scientist to be knighted, which is a great honor, as you can expect. 

Newton also developed The Three Laws of Motion. They are extremely important to physics and are considered some of the foundation for physics today. 

He also discovered calculus, which is complex math that is very helpful to scientists today. 

He also discovered the color spectrum using a glass prism, a dark room and window shade with a hole in it. He was able to project the color spectrum onto a piece of paper.

Those are the few I can think of now, but hope it helps!

<em>Anything</em> that's dropped through air is somewhat affected by air resistance.  But, out of that list, the leaf and the balloon are the items that will be affected by air resistance enough so that you can plainly see it.

If you spend some time thinking about it, you can kind of understand why airplane wings and boat propellers are shaped more like leafs and balloons than like bricks and rocks.

What are the differences and relationships between speed, velocity, and acceleration
melamori03 [73]

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.
