If Earth's axis was "straight up and down" instead of tilted, then ...

<span>-- There would be no seasons.

-- The climate at any one place would be the same all year around.

-- The days would be the same length, everywhere,
    and all year around.

-- So would the nights.

-- The sun would be up a little more than 12 hours every day.
    It would be down a little less than 12 hours every day.

-- At the middle of the day, the sun would be at the same height
   in the sky all year around, not higher in some months and lower
   in others.

-- The equator would be the only place on Earth where the sun
    could ever be directly over your head.

-- If you were at the north pole or the south pole, the sun would be
   down on the horizon, and it would just go around and around you
   every day. It would never rise or set, and it would never get any
   higher or lower.

How fast does a 2 MeV fission neutron travel through a reactor core?

Artemon [7]

Answer:

The answer is $1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s$

Explanation:

The amount of energy is not enough to apply the relativistic formula of energy $E = mc^2$ , so the definition of energy in this case is

$E = \frac{1}{2}m v^2$ .

From the last equation,

$v= \sqrt{2E/m}$

where

$E = 2 MeV = 3.204 \times 10^{-13} J$

and the mass of the neutron is

$m = 1.675\times 10^{-27}\ Kg$ .

Then

$v = 1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s$

the equivalent of $0.065$ the speed of light.

A ball rolls off the edge of a table with a fairly large horizontal velocity. Which of the following statements are true? (Selec

Degger [83]

Answer:

A.The vertical velocity is constantly increasing as the ball falls.

B.The horizontal velocity does not noticeably change as the ball falls.

G.The horizontal velocity does not affect how long it will take the ball to fall to the floor.

H.The velocity vector of the ball changes as it travels through the air.

Explanation:

As the ball is projected horizontally so here the vertical component of the velocity is zero

So the time to reach the ground is given as

$H = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

so we will have

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$

so this is the same time as the ball is dropped from H height

Since there is no force in horizontal direction so its horizontal velocity will always remain constant while vertical velocity will change at constant rate which is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

So overall the velocity vector will change due to net acceleration g

1. At a location in Europe, it is necessary to supply 1000 kW of 60-Hz power. Only power sources available operate at 50 Hz. It

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The speed of a synchronous motor in relation to its frequency can be represented with the formula:

$n_{sm}= \dfrac{120f_{se}}{P}$

where,

the electrical frequency $f_{se}$ is measured in Hz

the number of poles = P

For us to estimate the number of poles to have 50 Hz - 60 Hz Power, then we need to relate the frequencies of the above equation.

i.e

$\dfrac{120(50 \ Hz)}{P_1}= \dfrac{120( 60 \Hz)}{P_2} \\ \\ \dfrac{6000 \ Hz}{P_1}= \dfrac{7200 \ Hz}{P_2} \\ \\ \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}=\dfrac{7200}{6000} \\ \\ \\ \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}= \dfrac{12}{10}$

Thus, we can conclude that 10 poles synchronous motor is attached with 12 poles synchronous generator in order to convert 50 Hz to 60 Hz power.
