Why does summer receive more daylight hours than winter?

Biology
2 answers:
Andrews [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The amount of sunlight (daylight) earth receives is directly related to the tilt of the earth's imaginary rotation axis. The tilt of the earth is 23.5°. During the time of summer in the northern hemisphere, the tilt of the earth faces more towards the sun, and the sunlight is directly incident on it. So, the amount of daylight (or the duration of the day) is higher in summer.

On the other hand, during winter, the tilt of the sun faces opposite to the sun, so it receives a lesser amount of daylight, and so is cold during this time.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Explain problems with using low-tar, low-nicotine cigarettes.
satela [25.4K]
The risk of lung cancer death is no different between medium, low, and very low-tar cigarettes.

People who smoke low-tar cigarettes compensate the lack of tar by changing their breathing habits, for example, they will take deeper drags or hold the smoke in for a longer period of time,  basically negating the supposed " low-tar" effect.

Scientist can determine the age of ancient objects by a method called radiocarbon dating. The bombardment of the upper atmospher
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

3688.323years

Explanation:

Given-

Half life of 14C = 5730years

As we know -

A_{(t)} = A_0e^{kt}

Where

A_{(t)} = Mass of radioactive carbon after a time period "t"

A_0= initial mass of radioactive carbon

k =radioactive decay constant

t =time

First we will find the value of "k"

\frac{1}{2} = (1)*e^{k*5730}\\

On solving, we get -

e^{5730*k}= 0.5\\5730*k = ln(0.5)\\k = -0.000121

Now, when mass of 14C becomes 64% of the plant  material on earth today, then its age would be

A_{(t)} = A_0*e^{(-0.000121*t)}\\A_{(t)}= 0.64*A_0\\0.64*A_0 = A_0*e-^{(0.000121*t)}\\t = 3688.323years
