How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?

1 answer:

5 0

The sun's energy influences climate in various ways. For example the latitudes at the equator receive more energy from the sun and therefore have warmer temperatures, On the other hand the sun's energy influences precipitation in a climate by driving the water cycle which determines precipitation.The sun is what makes the water cycle take place. That is the sun provides energy or heat to the earth; the heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds ( precipitation), that in turn give us rain

Assuming a vertical trajectory with no drag, derive the applicable form of the rocket equation for this application

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The vertical trajectory is governed by Ordinary Differential Equation.

Time derivatives of each state variables.

d(d)/dt = v, d(m)/dt = -d(m-fuel)/dt, d(v)/dt = F/m.

Where V is velocity positive upwards, t is time, m is mass, m-fuel is fuel mass, F is Total force, positive upwards.

Therefore,

F = -mg - D + T, If V is positive and

F = -mg + D - T, If T is negative.

D is drag and the questions gave it as zero.

Explanation:

The two sign cases in derivative equations above are required because F is defined positive up, so the drag D and thrust T can subtract or add to F depending in the sign of V . In contrast, the gravity force contribution mg is always negative. In general, F will be some function of time, and may also depend on the characteristics of the particular rocket. For example, the T component of F will become zero after all the fuel is expended, after which point the rocket will be ballistic, with only the gravity force and the aerodynamic drag force being p

Please help really easy worth 20

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Stationary

20N

Explanation:

From the graph, we see that the body traveling is on a fixed position. Therefore, it is a stationary body.

The graph given is a position - time curve.

This curve depict a body changing position with given time.

Since the line of the curve is on a single position, the body is not changing position with the passage of time therefore, it is a stationary object.

B. 20N

From Newton's third law of motion we understand that "action and reaction force are equal but oppositely directed".

Since the person is exerting a force of 20N on the balance.

So, the reaction force by the balance is 20N upward.

A woman can row her canoe at 2.5 m/s. If she faces an opposing current of 3.0 m/s, how fast will she go forward?

taurus [48]

Answer:

V = - 0.5 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of relative speeds. This is for an observer who is on the edge of the river he can see how the river moves to the left and the woman tries to move to the right but can not since:

$V_{total}=-3+2.5\\V_{total}=-0.5 [m/s]$

That is, the person sees how the woman moves to the left but with avelocity of 0.5 [m/s] to the left

How long does it take (in minutes) for light to reach venus from the sun, a distance of 1.152 × 108 km?

7nadin3 [17]

Using the precise speed of light in a vacuum ( $299,792,458 \ \frac{m}{s}$ ), and your given distance of $1.152 * 10^{8} km$ , we can convert and cancel units to find the answer. The distance in m, using $\frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km}$ , is $1.152 * 10^{11} m$ . Next, for the speed of light, we convert from s to min, using $\frac{1 \ min}{60 \ s}$ , so we divide the speed of light by 60. Finally, dividing the distance between the Sun and Venus by the speed of light in km per min, we find that it is 6.405 min.
