On both the spring and fall equinoxes, the sun's rays are vertically overhead at the _______

Physics

It is overhead at the equator, it is because the sun ray’s will be moving vertically as this will be directed at the equator. It is because if it moves vertically, it will hit or overhead the equator and this usually happens in spring and fall.

What physics concept is used when designing a motorcycle helmet to protect the head from injury
fomenos

Answer:

Explanation:

From the 1st Law of linear motion which states that when a body goes into motion, it will continue doing so until it is stopped by force. So the body of the rider keeps moving until it is been stopped and the stopping could be as a result of an impact of any part of the body which includes the head it an object. Also the 3rd Law of Motion will also be applicable because for every action, there will be equal and opposite reaction. The magnitude of the impact will be as a result of the force with which the crash took place as well.

When crashes take place the rider does not always experience a head impact square on with a solid obstruction. During a bike crash, your head comes in contact with the ground. The ground exerts a force that causes your head to stop moving. Often impact will be at an angle and may not be head first. It may be your shoulder will hit first, then your side, and then your head will receive a glancing blow against the ground as you slide.

The ground exerts so much force that it can stop our forward motion within seconds. Without your motorcycle helmet, your head experiences a huge amount of concentrated force during a crash.

During the stage of internal combustion engine operation in which the piston rises and compresses the fuel in the combustion cha
katovenus [111]

The piston rises and compresses the fuel in the cylinder during
the "compression" stroke. 

Both valves have to closed in order to compress the fuel in there. 

If either valve were open, just a crack, then the gases wouldn't get
as compressed as they should ... they'd just get forced out into the
fuel line or the exhaust line through the open valve.

Paco was driving his scooter west with an initial velocity of 4 m/s. He accelerates at 0.5 m/s2 for 30 seconds.
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

V = 19m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, U = 4m/s

Acceleration, a = 0.5m/s²

Time, t = 30 seconds

To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion;

V = U + at

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

V = 4 + 0.5*30

V = 4 + 15

V = 19m/s

Therefore, his final velocity is 19 meters per seconds.

Light from a helium-neon laser (? = 633 nm) is used to illuminate two narrow slits. The interference pattern is observed on a sc
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.3376 mm

Explanation:

The computation of the spacing in mm between the slits is shown below:

As we know that

d = \frac{m\lambda L}{\Delta y}

where,

\lambda = wavelength

L = distance from the scrren

\Delta y = spanning distance

As there are 11 bright fingers seen so m would be

= 11 - 1

= 10

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the spacing is

= \frac{(10)(633 \times 10^{-9})(3.2m)}{60 \times 10^{-3}}

= 0.3376 mm

We simply applied the above formula.

A person pushes horizontally with a force of 220. N on a 61.0 kg crate to move it across a level floor. The coefficient of kinet
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

(a) 161.57 N

(b) 0.958 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force applied, F = 220 N

mass of crate, m = 61 kg

μ = 0.27

(a) The magnitude of the frictional force,

f = μ N

where, N is the normal reaction

N = m x g = 61 x 9.81 = 598.41 N

So, the frictional force, f = 0.27 x 598.41

f = 161.57 N

(b) Let a be the acceleration of the crate.

Fnet = F - f = 220 - 161.57

Fnet = 58.43 N

According to newton's second law

Fnet = mass x acceleration

58.43 = 61 x a

a = 0.958 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the crate is 0.958 m/s^2.
