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).

How much force is needed to stretch a spring 1. 2 m if the spring constant is 8. 5 N/m? 7. 1 N 7. 3 N 9. 7 N 10. 2 N.

statuscvo [17]

The amount of force required to stretch or compress the spring is known as the spring force. Its unit is Newton(N). Force is needed to stretch spring is 10.2 N.

<h3>What is spring force?</h3>

The force required to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance is known as the spring force. Its formula is

F = kx

The given data in the problem is;

F is the spring force =?

K is the spring constant= 8.5 N/m

x is the length by which spring got stretched = 1.2m

$\rm F_S=Kx \\\\ \rm F_S=8.5 \times 1.2 \\\\ \rm F_S=10.2 N$

Hence the force is needed to stretch the spring is 10.2 N.

What is newton first law

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Newtons first law states that:

If a body is in rest or motion in a straight line, it remains at rest or at motion in a straight line with constant speed until and unless and external unbalanced force acts on it.

'This law is also known as the law of Inertia.'

Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire out of 1.10 g of copper. If the wire is to have a resistance R = 0.390 Ω, and if al

Citrus2011 [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to volume, as a function of length and area, as of mass and density. Later we will take the same concept of resistance and resistivity, equal to the length per unit area. Once obtained from the known constants it will be possible to obtain the area by matching the two equations:

Mass of copper wire $(m) = 1.10g = 1.10*10^{-3} kg$
