What causes the phenomenon of seasons on Earth

2 answers:

6 0

The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis away or toward the sun as it travels through its year-long path around the sun. The Earth has a tilt of 23.5 degrees relative to the "ecliptic plane" (the imaginary surface formed by it's almost-cicular path around the sun).

The rotational tilt of earth on its axis towards or away from the sun, which can result in changes in weather and henceforth seasons.

Unpolarized light with intensity 370 W/m2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second

vampirchik [111]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given by Malus regarding the Intensity of light.

From the law of Malus intensity can be defined as

$I' = \frac{I_0}{2} cos^2 \theta$

Where

$\theta =$ Angle From vertical of the axis of the polarizing filter

$I_0 =$ Intensity of the unpolarized light

The expression for the intensity of the light after passing through the first filter is given by

$I = \frac{I_0}{2}$

Replacing we have that

$I = \frac{370}{2}$

$I = 185W/m^2$

Re-arrange the equation,

$I'= \frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta$

Re-arrange to find \theta

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2I'}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2*138}{370}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2*138}{370}})$

$\theta = 0.5282rad$

$\theta = 30.27\°$

The value of the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is equal to 30.2°

How can astrophysicists tell whether a star is receding from or approaching earth?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Doppler shift of the starlight

Explanation:

To predict the movement of a star, we compare the spectra of elements found in star (H, He Na etc.), first spectra which are obtained from star and second spectra from laboratory. If spectral lines of the spectra obtained from star, are shifting towards red end (called red shift) then star is going away from earth and if shifting is towards blue (called blue shift), then star is approaching the earth. This is Doppler's shift.

What is the magnitude of the resultant of a 7.0-N force acting vertically upward and a 5.0-N force acting horizontally.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Resultant force = 8.6N

Explanation:

Using Pythogorus' theorem

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c }^{2} \\ {7}^{2} + {5}^{2} = {r}^{2} \\ 49 + 25 = {r}^{2} \\ 74 = {r}^{2} \\ \sqrt{74} = \sqrt{ {r }^{2} } \\ 8.6 = r \\$

Resultant force = 8.6N
