Why are average temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?

2 answers:

8 0

The poles are on either side of the sun so therefore the equator is constantly the closest to the sun and gets the most heat

Bc the equator is constantly facing the sun while the earth rotates

The cube of wood having an edge dimension of 19.7cm and a density of 647kg/m3 floats on water

(a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level answer in cm

(b) What mass of lead should be placed on the cube so that the top of the cube will be just level with the water surface answer in kg

Answer:

a)6.29cm

b)2.78 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Let us calculate the volume first, we were given dimension as 19.7cm=0.197m

Volume is (0.197 meters)³ = 0.00764m³

Then we can calculate the mass as;

Given mass is 647 kg/m³ x 0.00774m³ = 4.947kg

The weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

weight = 4.947 x 9.8 N/kg = 48.44N

By Floating we can say the the buoyancy force has to equal the weight (48.44 N) which has

which is equal to the weight of volume of the displaced water. Or the mass, the calculation is the same.

We know that density of fresh water at 20ºC is 998 kg/m³

Then we can calculate the volume of displaced water as

4.947 kg / 998 kg/m³ = 0.00496 m³

We know that the displaced water has a shape of a rectangular solid with 0.197 meters on the two horizontal dimensions, and h as the height to the surface then

V = 0.197²h = 0.00496

0.00496= 0.197²h

h = 0.1278 meters or 12.78 cm

Then the the distance exposed, would be 19.7–12.78 = 6.29 cm

b) ifthe cube is fully submerged, the volume of the displaced water is 0.00774m³

mass of displaced water is 0.00774m³ x 998 kg/m³ = 7.724 kg

Added mass is the mass of the displaced water – mass of block

= 7.724–4.947 = 2.78 kg

A 7.36 g sample of copper is contaminated with a additional 0.51 g sample of zinc. Suppose an atomic mass measurement was perfor

yawa3891 [41]

The molar mass of the sample is equal to the summation of the molar mass of the elementas multiplied by the abundance of the elements by mole. In this case, copper has an abundance of 93.69 percent while zinc has 6.31 percent. In this case, the average molecular weight is 63.67 g/mol

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.55 m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of a

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$M_1 = 317.7 kg$

Explanation:

Mass of the helium gas filled inside the volume of balloon is given as

$m = \rho V$

$m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)$

$m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3)$

$m = 210.7 kg$

now total mass of balloon + helium inside balloon is given as

$M = 210.7 + 990$

$M = 1200.7 kg$

now we know that total weight of balloon + cargo = buoyancy force on the balloon

so we will have

$(M + M_1)g = \rho_{air} V g$

$(1200.7 + M_1) = (\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3) (1.29)$

$1200.7 + M_1 = 1518.4$

$M_1 = 317.7 kg$

How many neutrons does element x have if it's atomic number is 27 and it's mass number is 74

Makovka662 [10]

Atomic number=Proton count

Atomic mass=Proton count+ neutron count

Neuton Count=Atomic mass-Proton count

Proton count=Atomic number=27

Mass number=74

Neuton count= 74-27=47

What are the consequences of sediment pollution?

Nonamiya [84]

Loss of habitats for fish, birds, and other wildlife. Sediment pollution is one of the leading causes of the loss of the wetlands, but it’s not just the wetlands. Changes in the nutrients in your water. The same problem that affects the fish in your area may also affect you. Other drinking water contamination.
