If Earth's obliquity was 157 degrees, would the seasons be more severe, less severe, or about the same?

Physics

ikadub [295]3 years ago

The severity of the seasons on Earth is given not by the distance Earth-Sun but by the tilt of the Earth axis. This happens because that the sun rays are oblique in winter and perpendicular in summer (thus the same quantity of sun rays heats a bigger surface in winter - oblique rays). 
The present tild of the Earth axis is  23.5 degrees (from the vertical). If the axis were tilt at 157 degree this would be equivalent  to 180-157 =23 degree. Thus the severity of the seasons would be approximately the same but the seasons would be reversed (for example instead of winter we would have summer, instead of summer we would have winter).

Write a rule for the sequence. 3, -3, -9, -15. A. Start with 3 and add -6 repeatedly B. Start with -6 and add 3 repeatedly C. St
faust18 [17]

Substract two consecutive terms of the sequence to see if there is a common difference:

\begin{gathered} (-3)-(3)=-3-3=-6 \\ (-9)-(-3)=-9+3=-6 \\ (-15)-(-9)=-15+9=-6 \end{gathered}

As we can see, there is a common difference of -6.

Then, if a number of the sequence is given, the next one can be found by adding -6 (which is the same as subtracting 6).

Notice that the first term of the sequence is 3.

Then, the rule for the sequence is to start with 3 and add -6 repeatedly.

Therefore, the correct choice is option A) Start with 3 and add -6 repeatedly.

What does atomic spectrum mean?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The range of characteristic frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that are readily absorbed and emitted by an atom. The atomic spectrum is an effect of the quantized orbits of electrons around the atom

Additional Facts:

  • Atomic spectra can also be analyzed to determine the composition of objects
  • The frequency depends on the difference in energy between the orbitals. Explaining this phenomenon was crucial to the development of quantum mechanics
  • Occurs due to the fact are quantized at specific levels determined by the atomic number

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a   it is always zero

b  0

c  \eta  =  -\epsilon _o E

Explanation:ss

Here the  net charge is  on the outer surface of the conductor thus this means that the net charge inside the conductor is zero

Generally the charge density of a conductor is dependent on the charge per unit area  which implies that the charge density is dependent on the net charge  so this  means that the charge density inside the conductor is zero

 

Generally the direction of electric field this from the  positive charge to the negative charge  so from the question we can deduce  that the negative charge is located on the surface of the conductor

    So We can mathematically define the charge density on the surface of the electric field as

             ∮E \cdot dA =  \frac{-Q}{\epsilon _o}

Where E is the electric field

          dA change in unit area

           -Q is the negative charge

          \epsilon _o  is the permittivity of free space

So

          EA  =  \frac{-Q}{\epsilon _o }

           \frac{Q}{A}  =  -\epsilon _o E

          \eta  =  -\epsilon _o E

Where \eta is the charge density

If we connect a third bulb in our series circuit, say one with 4
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The current will decrease.

Explanation:

When another bulb is added, the resistance is going to increase. Keep in mind that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance (<em>Ohm's law: R= </em><em>V</em><em>/</em><em>I</em><em> </em><em>).</em> Therefore when the resistance increase, the current running in the circuit will decrease.
