How do lines of latitude affect how direct or indirect the Sun’s rays are on the Earth?

1 answer:

8 0

The technical definition of latitude is the angular distance north or south from the earth's equator measured through 90 degrees. ... Locations at lower latitudes receive stronger and more direct sunlight than locations near the poles. Energy input from the sun is the main driving force in the atmosphere.

The Seasons at Different Latitudes
The seasonal effects are different at different latitudes on Earth. Near the equator, for instance, all seasons are much the same. Every day of the year, the Sun is up half the time, so there are approximately 12 hours of sunshine and 12 hours of night.

When we consider Latitude alone as a control, we know that the low latitudes (say from the Equator to approximately 30 degrees N/S) are the warmest across the year (on an annual basis).

Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running

crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity $u=25\ m/s$

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.

An object of mass 25kg is falling from the height h=10 m. calculate

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a=2500J,b=1000K,c=1000J,d=14.142m/s

Explanation:

V²=U²+2gh

V²=0 + 2×10×10=200m/s

a).kinetic energy=(1/2)mv²=(1/2)25×200=2500

potential energy=mgh

p.e=25×10×10=2500J

pe+ke=2500+2500=5KJ

b).mgh=25×10×4=1000J

c). V²=U²+2gh

V²=0+2×10×4

V²=80

kinetic energy=(1/2)mv²

=(1/2)25×80

=1KJ

d). From my first paragraph V²=200

V=√200

V=14.142m/s

In a laundromat, during the spin-dry cycle of a washer, the rotating tub goes from rest to its maximum angular speed of 2.2 rev/

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

$n_{T} = 31.68\,rev$

Explanation:

The angular acceleration is:

$\ddot n_{1} = \frac{2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} -0\,\frac{rev}{s} }{8.8\,s}$

$\ddot n_{1} = 0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

And the angular deceleration is:

$\ddot n_{2} = \frac{0\,\frac{rev}{s}-2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} }{20\,s}$

$\ddot n_{2} = -0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

The total number of revolutions is:

$n_{T} = n_{1} + n_{2}$

$n_{T} = \frac{\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)} + \frac{\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$n_{T} = 31.68\,rev$
