What are the periodic variations in Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun that alter the way solar radiation is distributed

over Earth's surface?
Physics
1 answer:
Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1. The precession of the equinoxes.

2. Changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

3. Variations in the eccentricity

Explanation:

These variations listed above;  the precession of the equinoxes (refers, changes in the timing of the seasons of summer and winter), this occurs on  a roughly about 26,000-year interval; changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, this occurs roughly in a 41,000-year interval; and changes in the eccentricity (that is a departure from a perfect circle) of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, occurring on a roughly 100,000-year timescale. which influences the mean annual solar radiation at the top of Earth’s atmosphere.

Estimate how far apart the rays of deepest red and deepest violet light are as they exit the bottom surface. assume nred = 1.57
Harlamova29_29 [7]
We begin by noting that the angle of incidence is the one that's taken with respect to the normal to the surface in question. In this case the angle of incidence is 30. The material is Flint Glass according to the original question. The refractive indez of air n1=1, the refractive index of red in flint glass is nred=1.57, finally for violet in the glass medium is nviolet=1.60. Snell's Law dictates:
n_1sin(\theta_1)=n_2sin(\theta_2)
Where \theta_2 differs for each wavelenght, that means violet and red will have different refractive indices in the glass.
In the second figure provided details are given on which are the angles in question, \Delta x is the distance between both rays.
\theta_{2red}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.57})\approx 18.5705
\theta_{2violet}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.60})\approx 18.21
At what distance d from the incidence normal will the beams land at the bottom?
For violet we have:
d_{violet}=h.tan(\theta_{2violet})\approx 0.0132m
For red we have:
d_{red}=h.tan(\theta_{2red})\approx 0.0134m
We finally have:
\Delta x=d_{red}-d_{violet}\approx2.8\times10^{-4}m

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 31.8 cm. when one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

extension in the spring = 40.4 - 31.8 = 8.6 cm = 8.6 x 10⁻² m .

kx = mg

k is spring constant , x is extension , m is mass

k x 8.6 x 10⁻² = 7.52 x 9.8

k = 856.93 N/m

=  857 x 10⁻³ KN /m

b ) Both side is pulled by force of 188 N .

Tension in spring = 188N

kx = T

856.93 x = 188

x = .219.38 m

= 21.938 cm

= 21.9 cm .

length of spring = 31.8 + 21.9

= 53.7 cm .

The radial velocity method preferentially detects: Choose one: A. all of the above described planets equally well. B. small plan
Zina [86]

The radial velocity method preferentially detects large planets close to the central star

  • what is the Radial velocity:

The radial velocity technique is able to detect planets around low-mass stars, such as M-type (red dwarf) stars.

This is due to the fact that low mass stars are more affected by the gravitational tug of planets.

When a planet orbits around a star, the star wobbles a little.

From this, we can determine the mass of the planet and its distance from the star.

hence we can say that,

option D is correct.

A roller coaster car of mass m= 300 kg is released from rest at the top of a 60 m high hill (position A), and rolls with a negli
Andrews [41]

Answer: The principle of conservation of energy, angular speed and centripetal force

Explanation:

At point A, the car experienced maximum of potential energy

As it moves down the hill, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.

The maximum kinetic energy of the car is needed for the attainment of enough centripetal force to help the car move through the loop without falling .

g A cylinder of mass m is free to slide in a vertical tube. The kinetic friction force between the cylinder and the walls of the
sdas [7]

Answer:

The vertical distance is  d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the cylinder is  m

    The kinetic frictional force is  f

Generally from the work energy theorem

    E  =  P +  W_f

Here E the the energy of the spring which is increasing and this is mathematically represented as

       E =  \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d^2

Here k is the spring constant

        P is the potential energy of the cylinder which is mathematically represented as

     P  = mgd

And

     W_f  is the workdone by friction which is mathematically represented as

      W_f  =  f *  d

So

    \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d^2 =  mgd +  f *  d

=>    \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d^2 =  d[mg +  f    ]

=>  \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d =  [mg +  f    ]

=> d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]
