Why do we have seasons on Earth

Physics
2 answers:
LUCKY_DIMON [66]3 years ago
7 0

Seasons occur because Earth tilts 23.5 degrees on its axis. That tilt affects the intensity of the sunlight hitting the surface, and that in turn causes the seasons. When North America, Europe, and northern Asia are having summer, it's because they're tilted directly toward the sun and receiving the most sunlight.

Answer:

The answer is the Earth is tilted as the Earth makes its journey for the year around the Sun.

In general the earth is tilted at angle of 23.5 degrees from vertical axis. So that the Earth always pointing to one side as it revolves around the Sun. This causes varying amounts of Sun light around the Earth during the years gives us seasons.

So here we conclude that the axis of the Earth is most important thing, why the seasons occur.

Tilt:

Whenever the Earth lean towards the Sun,  summer season occurs and lean away from the Sun winter season occurs. In between these two spring and Autumn occurs.

Negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: Electrons.

Explanation:

Electrons are the negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. Protons, on the other hand, are the positively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom.

in the picture, the protons and neutrons are “in” the nucleus and you’ll also see the the electrons are orbiting all around the nucleus.

Bridget is riding her bicycle up a hill. Which statements are correct? Check all that apply.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Bridget is transferring energy to the bicycle.

The bicycle is using energy to do work.

Bridget has kinetic energy.

The bicycle has potential energy.

The bicycle has mechanical energy.

Explanation:

Energy can be transformed from one form to another. A body possess kinetic energy due to virtue of its motion. Potential energy is possessed by a body due to virtue of its position. mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. Nuclear energy is produced when atoms split or two atoms fuse together.

When Bridget is riding bicycle up a hill. Energy involved is both kinetic energy due to motion and potential energy due to gain in height up the hill. Bridget is pedaling, hence he is transferring energy to the bicycle. Bridget is in motion along with the bicycle. Hence, both Bridget and Bicycle have kinetic energy and potential energy. We can say both have mechanical energy. Thus correct options are:

Bridget is transferring energy to the bicycle.

The bicycle is using energy to do work.

Bridget has kinetic energy.

The bicycle has potential energy.

The bicycle has mechanical energy.

An olympic high diver has gravitational potential energy because of her height. as she dives, what becomes of her energy just be
sammy [17]

An Olympic high diver has gravitational potential energy because of her height. As she dives, kinetic energy becomes of her energy just before she hits the water.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position when it is present in a gravitational field. In simple terms, it can be said that gravitational potential energy is an energy that is related to gravitational force or to gravity.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles.

When the high diver is standing stable and not moving , that diver has a gravitational potential energy because of the height . The moment she dives , before hitting the water , from being stationary she gained some momentum and come in motion , due to motion her gravitational potential energy will change to kinetic energy before hitting the ground.

A baseball is hit nearly straight up into the air with a speed of 22 m/s. (a) how high does it go? (b) how long is it in the air
Mariulka [41]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

When the ball attains maximum height, it will have zero vertical velocity.
The maximum height, h. obeys the equation
0 = (22 m/s)² - 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(h m)
h = 22²/(2*9.8) = 24.694 m

Answer: The maximum height attained is 24.7 m (nearest tenth)

Part b.
The vertical height traveled by the ball obeys the equation
h = (22 m/s)t - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²
where
h = vertical height, m
g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity
t = time, s

To find how long the ball stays in the air, set h = 0 to obtain
4.9t² - 22t = 0
t(4.9t - 22) = 0
t = 0, or t = 22/4.9 = 4.49 s
t = 0 corresponds to the launch, and t = 4.49 s corresponds to when the ball retuns to the ground.

Answer: The ball stays in the air for 4.5 s (nearest tenth)
