Why does the area around the equator stay about the same temperature year round?

1 answer:

3 0

Axial Tilt and Sun Energy

This axial tilt means that during the Earth's journey around the sun the poles receive varying amounts of sunlight. The equator, however, receives relatively consistent sunlight all year. The consistency of energy means the equator's temperature stays relatively constant all year.

A 0.54 kg air hockey puck is initially at rest. What will it's kinetic energy energy be after a net force of 0.56 N acts on it f

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Kf = 470 mJ

Explanation:

According the work-energy theorem, the change in the kinetic energy of one object, is equal to the net work done on it.
Since the puck is initially at rest, the change is kinetic energy is just the final kinetic energy of the puck.
Assuming that the net force is horizontal, and causes a horizontal displacement also, we can find the net work on the puck as follows:

$W_{net} = F_{net} * \Delta X = 0.56 N * 0.84 m = 0.47 J = 470 mJ (1)$
