scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

108.217 °

Explanation:

Day of year = 356 = d (Considering year of 365 days)

Latitude of Tropic of Cancer = 23.5 °N

Declination angle

δ = 23.45×sin[(360/365)(d+284)]

⇒δ = 23.45×sin[(360/365)(356+284)]

⇒δ = 5.2832 °

Altitude angle at solar noon

90+Latitude-Declination angle

= 90+23.5-5.2832

= 108.217 °

∴ Altitude angle of the Sun as seen from the tropic of cancer on December 22 is 108.217 °

Two satellites A and B orbit the Earth in the same plane. Their masses are 5 m and 7 m, respectively, and their radii 4 r and 7
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The ratio of their orbital speeds are 5:4.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of A = 5 m

Mass of B = 7 m

Radius of A = 4 r

Radius of B = 7 r

The orbital speed of satellite A,

v_{A}=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM_{A}}{R_{A}}}......(I)

The orbital speed of satellite B,

v_{B}=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM_{B}}{R_{B}}}......(I)

We need to calculate the ratio of their orbital speeds

Using equation (I) and (II)

\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{GM_{A}}{R_{A}}}{\dfrac{GM_{B}}{R_{B}}}}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{G\times5m\times7r}{G\times7m\times4r}}

\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\dfrac{5}{4}

Hence, The ratio of their orbital speeds are 5:4.

Imagine a string of holiday lights, with many bulbs connected to each other by wires. One bulb burns out, causing the bulbs next
FinnZ [79.3K]

C. Series

Consider resistors in a circuit - if all the resistors in the circuit are in series and one of the resistors fails then no current can flow thru the circuit,

If the resistors are in parallel then then each resistor experiences the same voltage drop regardless of whether or not any resistor in particular is carrying current.

If the average velocity during the athlete's walk back
goblinko [34]

Hence ,From the Guide there are other parameters which with this equation will give the exact time the athlete's walk back

T=\frac{d}{1.50}

From the question we are told

If the average velocity during the athlete's walk back  to the starting line in Guided Example 2.5 is – 1.50 m/s,

Generally the equation Time spent  is mathematically given as

T=\frac{d}{v}

Therefore

T=\frac{d}{1.50}

Hence ,From the Guide there are other parameters which with this equation will give the exact time the athlete's walk back

T=\frac{d}{1.50}

Visit this website and locate the element mercury, whose chemical symbol is Hg. Click on the square to read about the history, p
Irina-Kira [14]
We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.
