Why are the poles and slightly lower latitudes so cold in the summertime when they receive almost 24 hours of daylight? I know t

he earth travels around the sun in an elliptical path. Could this have something to do with it? How does this elliptical path relate to the seasons?

Explanation:

As the earth travels around the sun in the elliptical orbit it must also be know that the axis of the earth is tilted as well.

  • So when the earth is at the farthest point and the tilt of the earth's axis is towards the sun in that case the sun rays always incident on the surface of the earth near the poles and hence there is sunlight for the 24 hours of the day. But the intensity of these rays is very low because of the their slanted angle of incident. In other words the same sun rays cover a larger area and the luminous intensity is reduced.
  • When the earth is near to the sun we have an increased average temperature of the day during that phase giving us an experience of summer season and vice-versa is the condition in winter seasons. The tilt of the earths axis is responsible for variation in extremities of the seasons with respect to the geographical location.

A 70 kg football player running at 3m/s north tackles an 80kg player running at 1.5 m/s south. what is the magnitude and directi

It could never actually happen like this, but the question is
looking for you to 'conserve' the momentum.

Momentum of a moving object is (mass) x (velocity).
Like velocity, momentum has a direction.
Momentum is one of those things that's 'conserved'. 
That means that momentum can't appear out of nowhere, and
it doesn't disappear.  The total after the collision is the same as
the total was before the collision.  

Momentum of the skinny player:

                     (70 kg) x (3 m/s north) = 210 kg-m/s north.

Momentum of the heavy player:

                     (80 kg) x (1.5 m/s south)  =  120 kg-m/s south .

Total momentum before the collision is

                     (210 kg-m/s north) + (120 kg-m/s south)

                 =        90 kg-m/s north  .

It has to be the same after the collision.

                       (mass) x (velocity)  =  90 kg-m/s north.

The  mass after the collision is 150 kg, because they get
tangled up and stuck together, and they move together.

                                (150 kg) x (velocity)  =  90 kg-m/s north .

Divide each side
by  150 kg :                   velocity  =  (90 kg-m/s north) / (150 kg)

                                                =  (90/150)  (kg-m/s / kg  north)

                                                 =        0.6 m/s  north  .

11. Block A and block B move toward each other on a level frictionless track. Block A has mass m and
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The correct option is;

d) F, because the net force is equal to the mutual contact force between the blocks

Explanation:

The given information are

The mass of block A = m

The velocity of block A = +v

The mass of block B = 2·m

The velocity of block B = -v

Given that the two blocks collide, we have;

Initial total momentum = m × v + 2·m×(-v) = m·(v - 2·v) = -m·v

Final total momentum = m × v₁ + 2·m×v₂ = m·(v₁ + 2·v₂)

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

m·(v₁ + 2·v₂) = -m·v

v₁ + 2·v₂ = -v

Therefore, the resultant velocity of the two blocks is -v, and the direction of the block A is reversed and the resultant inertia is equivalent to the inertia of block A

Therefore;

The force exerted on block B = The force exerted on block A = The rate of change of momentum experienced by the two blocks = The mutual contact force experienced between the blocks.

Which structures allow for the removal of wastes from the developing fetus?
castortr0y [4]

The fetus relies upon its mother as it develops. These are some of the things it needs:

<span>protection against knock and bumps, and temperature changes oxygen for respiration nutrients (food and water) </span>

The developing fetus also needs its waste substances removing.

The fetus is protected by the uterus and the amniotic fluid, a liquid contained in a bag called the amnion.
