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

Tall trees collapse in stoms, why?

Sidana [21]

Answer: One main reason, all three experts agree, is the phenomenon known as “windthrow” which uproots a tree. “The tree trunk acts as a lever and so the force applied to the roots and trunk increases with height,” says Foster. “Taller trees are more susceptible to windthrow.”

A horizontal force of 25 N is required to push a wagon across a sidewalk at a constant speed.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

a. The net force acting on the wagon is zero

b. The value of the force of friction is 25 N

c. The effect would be is the frictional force must be increase

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

A horizontal force of 25 N is required to push a wagon across a sidewalk

at a constant speed

→ Constant speed means acceleration is zero

→ Force = mass × acceleration

→ Force = mass × 0

→ Force = 0

The net force acting on the wagon is zero

The wagon moves with constant speed, then

→ ∑ force = 0

There are two forces acting on the wagon external force of 25 N,

and the frictional force which is opposite to the direction of motion

→ 25 - Frictional force = 0

→ Frictional force = 25 N

The value of the force of friction is 25 N

The force increased to 30 N

If the wagon still moves with constant speed

Due to Newton's law ∑ force in the direction of motion = mass ×

acceleration, but acceleration is 0 because the wagon moves with

constant speed, then ∑ F = 0

So the frictional force must increase to 30 N

The effect would be is the frictional force must be increase

If the frictional force does not increase the wagon will accelerate

to what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the thermal radiation trapped in a greenhouse belong to?

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Considerando, que al tope de la atmósfera llega un 100% de la radiación solar, de este total, sólo un 25% llega directamente a la superficie de la Tierra y un 25% es dispersado por la atmósfera como radiación difusa hacia la superficie, esto hace que cerca de un 50% de la radiación total incidente llegue a la ...

“A horse pulls on a cart. By Newton’s third law of motion, the cart pulls back on

Studentka2010 [4]

In order to see what's going on, let's put them in empty space to get rid of any other influences, and let's also make it a push instead of a pull. / / / The horse pushes on the cart, so it begins accelerating away from him. At the same time, because of the equal opposite reaction thing, the cart pushes back on the horse, so the horse starts accelerating backwards, away from the cart. They both accelerate in opposite directions from where they started. BUT . . . their common center of mass doesn't move, and the sum of their momentums (which are in opposite directions) remains zero.
