( Apply Concepts ) Nome , Alaska, lies at 64°N latitude. San Diego , California , lies at 32°N latitude. Which city receives mor

tatyana61 [14]

If your asking about the total amount of time the sun is visible, it will be equal over the course of a year. In Nome, Alaska, it will be daylight almost 24 hours a day in the summer and be dark almost 24 hours a day in the winter. In San Diego they are much closer to the equator and will receive sunlight roughly the same amount each day all year long. In the end these times will add up to the same amount.

However if you are asking about intensity of sun light received, San Diego will get considerably more since its near the equator and its getting almost direct sunlight. In Nome, the sunlight is hitting the earth at an angle so fewer rays of light are hitting the ground per square foot.

You have two steel solid spheres. sphere 2 has twice the radius of sphere 1. part a by what factor does the moment of inertia i2

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

moment of inertia of sphere 2 is 32 times the moment of inertia of sphere 1

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a solid sphere about its axis is

$I=\frac{2}{5}MR^2$

where

M is the mass of the sphere

R is the radius of the sphere

The mass of the sphere can be rewritten as

$M=\rho V$

where

$\rho$ is the density

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$ is the volume of the sphere

So the moment of inertia becomes

$I=\frac{2}{5}(\frac{4}{3}\pi \rho R^3)R^2 = \frac{8}{15}\pi \rho R^5$

Calling R the radius of sphere 1, the moment of inertia of sphere 1 is

$I_1=\frac{8}{15}\pi \rho R^5$

where $\rho$ is the density of steel, since the sphere is made of steel

Sphere 2 has twice the radius of sphere 1, so

R' = 2R

and so its moment of inertia is

$I_2=\frac{8}{15}\pi \rho R'^5=\frac{8}{15}\pi \rho (2R)^5=32(\frac{8}{15}\pi \rho R^5)=32I_1$

So, the moment of inertia of sphere 2 is 4 times the moment of inertia of sphere 1.

Five resistors are connected in a circuit as shown. Find the ammeter

bogdanovich [222]

Given data states the 5 resistors connected with the value,
= 3 Ω; = 3 Ω ; = 3 Ω; = 0.5 Ω and = 0.5 Ω.
As shown, the and are in series connection, therefore,
R' = = 3 + 3 = 6 Ω
And then R' and are now in parallel connection, thereby
