Because the polar regions receive low-angle insolation.
Insolation is the amount of solar radiation received by a given area. The Sun is always low on the horizon. The low Sun angle makes the beam of solar radiation to travel a longer distance from upper troposphere to reach earth's surface as compared to when it is directly overhead. In this case, the radiations are scattered and reflected more by the atmosphere and spread over a larger area. Thus, the intensity of solar radiation is very less at polar regions than near the equatorial region. This is the reason of very cold climates at polar regions.
The energy used by the light bulb in half an hour is 180000 J and the amount of thermal energy generated is 158400 J.
What is Energy?
Energy is the ability or the capacity to do work.
To calculate the energy of the light bulb we use the formula below
Formula:
- E = Pt.......... Equation 1
Where:
- E = Energy used by the bulb in a half-hour
- P = Power of the bulb
- t = Time
Given:
- P = 100 W
- t = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes = (30×60) = 1800 seconds
Substitute these values into equation 1
- E = (100×1800)
- E = 180000 J
- If the light converts 12% of electric energy to light energy, then 88% of the energy is used to generate thermal energy
Therefore,
- Thermal energy = (180000×88/100) = 158400 J
Hence, the energy used by the light bulb in half an hour is 180000 J and the amount of thermal energy generated is 158400 J.

Answer/Explanation: Speed and direction can change with time. When you throw a ball into the air, it leaves your hand at a certain speed. As the ball rises, it slows down. Then, as the ball falls back toward the ground, it speeds up again. When the ball hits the ground, its direction of motion changes and it bounces back up into the air.
We need to see what forces act on the box:
In the x direction:
Fh-Ff-Gsinα=ma, where Fh is the horizontal force that is pulling the box up the incline, Ff is the force of friction, Gsinα is the horizontal component of the gravitational force, m is mass of the box and a is the acceleration of the box.
In the y direction:
N-Gcosα = 0, where N is the force of the ramp and Gcosα is the vertical component of the gravitational force.
From N-Gcosα=0 we get:
N=Gcosα, we will need this for the force of friction.
Now to solve for Fh:
Fh=ma + Ff + Gsinα,
Ff=μN=μGcosα, this is the friction force where μ is the coefficient of friction. We put that into the equation for Fh.
G=mg, where m is the mass of the box and g=9.81 m/s²
Fh=ma + μmgcosα+mgsinα
Now we plug in the numbers and get:
Fh=6*3.6 + 0.3*6*9.81*0.8 + 6*9.81*0.6 = 21.6 + 14.1 + 35.3 = 71 N
The horizontal force for pulling the body up the ramp needs to be Fh=71 N.
