How does the position of the Sun in the sky affect the intensity of sunlight striking Earth's surface?

Answer:

First, the surface that the sun faces is almost always the same, but it changes the "position" during the lapse of a day.

Now, if we have a fixed position, as the day phases the effective area that the sun "sees" changes.

For example at the beginning of the day, the sun only sees an ellipse, when the sun is right above the area, the sun sees a surface like a circle, and as the sun starts to go away the surface turns again into an ellipse.

you can see this as holding a ball with a region painted on it and start to rotate the ball, you will see that in some positions you will not see the painted region, and as you rotate it you will start seeing a little part, then the whole part, then a little part again, and so on, where in this case your vision represents the sunlight, and the painted region is the fixed area of the planet.

The Sun's position has a great impact on how much light reaches the surface. Such as at noon, the Sun has the least amount of gas light has to pass through. Meanwhile at dawn/dusk, it has a thicker layer of gas the light has to puncture.

A 1 kg particle moves upward from the origin to (23) m. Wit is work done by the force of gravity which is in - y direction s B.
sveta [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, m = 1 kg

Position (2, 3 ) m

height, h = 2 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Here, no force is acting in horizontal direction, the force of gravity is acting in vertical direction, so the work done by the gravitational force is to be calculated.

Force  mass x acceleration due to gravity

F = 1 x 9.8 = 9.8 N

Work = force x displacement x CosФ

Where, Ф be the angle between force vector and the displacement vector.

Here the value of Ф is 180° as the force acting vertically downward and the displacement is upward

So, W = 9.8 x 2 x Cos 180°

W = - 19.6 J

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Mass of water= 357g density water= 1.0g/cm3
aliya0001 [1]

m=357g\\\\\rho=1.0\ \dfrac{g}{cm^3}\\\\\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}\to V=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\\\text{substitute}\\\\V=\dfrac{357g}{1.0\frac{g}{cm^3}}=375g\cdot1.0\dfrac{cm^3}{g}=375\ cm^3

Which statement best describes why an island's food web could be considered a closed system?
garik1379 [7]
I would say Option B) because Option C) is wrong since matter cannot be created. A closed system does not exchange matter so it's not Option D). Since an island is an isolated area, Option A) is wrong.

Group elements number 11 to 20 as either metallic, non metallic or metalloid.​
bija089 [108]

Answer:

The elements are grouped into the different substances by color. As you can see, Lithium, Beryllium, Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminum, Potassium, and Calcium are metals out of the first 20 elements.

Hydrogen, Helium, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Chlorine, and Argon, are non-metals within the first 20 elements.

Boron and Silicon count as Metalloids in the Periodic Table (properties of both metals and non-metals)
