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

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.

Pls help :(( I need help!! Its physics! motion and forces!
Delvig [45]

Answer: Pedaling your bike : acceleration :: applying the brakes : inertia.

The reason I think this to be the answer to the analogy is because there is energy and work used in both processes (and the unit focuses on forces); gravity is constant and does not change whether one pedals or applies brakes. And I do not think it's deceleration, as deceleration tends to equate to acceleration within the physics perspective.

Edit: I should also add that since you clarified that your unit is motion and forces, Newtons 1st law is the law of inertia. The way to change an objects motion for it to slow down is by applying an additional force. That resistance the bike experiences to slow is the process of inertia. Inertia happens in order to accelerate an object (either by slowing it down, or speeding it up): i.e., the resistance to change.

You are running on a perfectly circular track that has a radius of 102 meters. What is the largest displacement you will ever at
tiny-mole [99]

The largest possible displacement on a circular track is the straight-line distance between the starting point and the point directly opposite it, half-way around the circle. That's the diameter of the track ... 204 meters.

Why does a wave undergo a 180° phase change at a fixed boundary?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The phase change of 180^{o} can be theoretically understood as follows:

For transmission or propagation of waves between media the wave motion should maintain a principle of continuity meaning that the wave function at the interface should be continuous and diffrentiable at the interface.

At the point of incidence there are 2 types of waves reflected wave and the incident wave. Now the principle of continuity dictates that the sum of the phases of the above 2 waves should be same as that of transmitted wave. If we use these relations we notice that the reflected wave shall either change it's phase by 180^{o} or will not change it's phase depending on the relationship between the refractive indices of the incident and the reflecting medium. For a solid boundary a phase change of 180^{o} occurs.
