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

1. A 0.40 kg ball is launched at a speed of 16 m/s from a 22 m cliff.

Masja [62]

Answer:

51.2 J, 86.2 J, 137.4 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the ball is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m = 0.40 kg is its mass

v = 16 m/s is its speed

Substituting,

$K=\frac{1}{2}(0.40)(16)^2=51.2 J$

The potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m = 0.40 kg

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h = 22 m is the heigth of the cliff

Substituting,

$U=(0.40)(9.8)(22)=86.2 J$

Finally, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy:

$E=K+U=51.2 + 86.2=137.4 J$

The weight of a metal bracelet is measured to be 0.10400 N in air and 0.08400 N when immersed in water. Find its density.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The density of the metal is 5200 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight in air= 0.10400 N

Weight in water = 0.08400 N

We need to calculate the density of metal

Let $\rho_{m}$ be the density of metal and $\rho_{w}$ be the density of water is 1000kg/m³.

V is volume of solid.

The weight of metal in air is

$W =0.10400\ N$

$mg=0.10400$

$\rho V g=0.10400$

$Vg=\dfrac{0.10400}{\rho_{m}}$ .....(I)

The weight of metal in water is

Using buoyancy force

$F_{b}=0.10400-0.08400$

$F_{b}=0.02\ N$

We know that,

$F_{b}=\rho_{w} V g$ ....(I)

Put the value of $F_{b}$ in equation (I)

$\rho_{w} Vg=0.02$

Put the value of Vg in equation (II)

$\rho_{w}\times\dfrac{0.10400}{\rho_{m}}=0.02$

$1000\times\dfrac{0.10400}{0.02}=\rho_{m}$

$\rho_{m}=5200\ kg/m^3$

Hence, The density of the metal is 5200 kg/m³.

The distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m

<h3>LINEAR MOTION</h3>

A straight line movement is known as linear motion

Given that Ann is driving down a street at 15 m/s. Suddenly a child runs into the street. It takes Ann 0.75 seconds to react and apply the brakes.

To know how many meters will she have moved before she begins to slow down, we need to first list all the given parameters.

speed = 15 m/s

time t = 0.75 s

From definition of speed,

speed = distance / time

Make distance the subject of the formula

distance = speed x time

distance = 15 x 0.75

distance = 11.25m

Therefore, the distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m

A ball rolls for 8 seconds and travels 24 meters. How fast was it traveling?

belka [17]

Answer:

The speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The time period of the ball, t = 8 s

The distance the ball rolled, d = 24 m

The velocity of an object is defined as the object's displacement to the time taken. The formula for the velocity is,

v = d / t m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

v = 24 / 8

= 3 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s
