Answer: Shorter

Explanation: Shadow is formed when an light source is obstructed by an opaque object. The closer the source, shorter is the length of the shadow. In fact, when the source is exactly overhead, no shadow of the object is formed.

June 21 marks the Summer solstice which means the Sun passes directly overhead Tropic of cancer (23.5° N) at noon. March 21 marks the equinox which means sun passes directly overhead equator (0°).

Shadow length of an object at 42° Northern latitude will be shorter on June 21 because the Sun will be closer to this latitude as compared to March 21.

What steps are involved in converting potential energy to kinetic energy
melomori [17]

Answer:

Decreasing in altitude and increasing in velocity

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

E_p = mgh

where m is mass, g is constant gravitational energy and h is the potential altitude.

The formula for kinetic energy is:

E_k = mv^2/2

where v is the velocity

Since m,g are constant, to convert from potential energy to kinetic energy, h must decreases while v increases. For example dropping an object from a height.

Lenz’s law states that an induced magnetic field in a conductor true or false
Hunter-Best [27]

Let's say there's a magnetic field B passing through a conductor loop with an area A. The magnetic flux through the loop, if B is constant and perpendicular to the loop, is B multiplied by A. Now let's say the magnetic flux is changing. This can be caused by a combination of the strength of B changing, A changing, or the orientation of B or the loop changing.

Lenz's law states that the changing magnetic flux induces a current in the loop such that the induced current creates its own magnetic field to oppose the change in the flux.

Starting from one oasis, Thaïs and Athanaël walk 25 km in a direction 30° south of west and then walk 30 km toward the north to
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

= 51° West of North

Explanation:

The displacement along the horizontal direction

R_x = -(25km)cos 30^\circ i\\\\= -(21.65km)i

The displacement along the vertical direction

R_y = -(25km) sin210^\circ i + (30km)j\\\\= -(12.5km)j + (30km)j\\\\= (17.5km)j

The magnitude of the displacement is

R = \sqrt{(-21.65km)^2 + (17.5km)^2} \\

The direction is

\theta = tan^-^1(\frac{17.5km}{-21.65km} )\\\\= -38.9^\circ\\\\

= 51° West of North
