What is the altitude of the Sun at noon on December 22, as seen from a place on the Tropic of Cancer?

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 °

Answer:

1.97×10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Use ideal gas law to find temperature.

PV = nRT

(9 atm) (9 L) = (83.3 mol) (0.0821 L·atm/mol/K) T

T = 11.9 K

The average kinetic energy per atom is:

KE = 3/2 kT

KE = 3/2 (1.38×10⁻²³ J/K) (11.9 K)

KE = 2.46×10⁻²² J

For a mass of 5.34×10⁻²⁶ kg, the kinetic energy is:

KE = (5.34×10⁻²⁶ kg) (1 mol / 0.004 kg) (6.02×10²³ atom/mol) (2.46×10⁻²² J)

KE = 1.97×10⁻²¹ J

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) orbits 569 km above Earth’s surface. Given that Earth’s mass is 5.97 × 1024 kg and its radius i
Sergio039 [100]
<span>We can use an equation to find the gravitational force exerted on the HST. F = GMm / r^2 G is the gravitational constant M is the mass of the Earth m is the mass of the HST r is the distance to the center of the Earth This force F provides the centripetal force for the HST to move in a circle. The equation we use for circular motion is: F = mv^2 / r m is the mass of the HST v is the tangential speed r is the distance to the center of the Earth Now we can equate these two equations to find v. mv^2 / r = GMm / r^2 v^2 = GM / r v = sqrt{GM / r } v = sqrt{(6.67 x 10^{-11})(5.97 x 10^{24}) / 6,949,000 m} v = 7570 m/s which is equal to 7.570 km/s HST's tangential speed is 7570 m/s or 7.570 km/s</span>

As of 2016, Nevada has a current minimum wage of $8.25 an hour ($/hr). If someone was really picky about how much they owed, how
xz_007 [3.2K]

Once again, you'd need to know that there are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour :)

I'd say converting the minimum wage into cents rather than dollars would make this problem a lot easier. $8.25 = 825 ¢.

So if this person is earning 825 ¢ in an hour, we should divide 825 by 60 to find out how much they're making in a minute:

825 ÷ 60 = 13.75 ¢

Now, we just need to divide by 60 again to work out how much that is in seconds:

13.75 ÷ 60 = 0.229 ¢

So to answer your question, this person would make 0.229 ¢ a second (¢/s) on the job with minimum wage. Converting this value to dollars wouldn't be viable (as it'd just be $0.00, so it's best to leave the answer in cents!)

your schools choir consisting of 10 singers gives a performance producing a sound intensity of 100 dB. At a point in the perform
laila [671]
There are two units of sound: intensity and in decibels. Decibels are not additive, you must convert it first to units of intensity (W/m²) using this formula:

dB = 10 log(I/10⁻¹²)

A.   100 dB = 10 log(I/10⁻¹²)
       Solving for I,
       I = 0.01 W/m²

      90 dB = 10 log(I/10⁻¹²)
      Solving for I,
       I = 0.001

Ratio = 0.01/0.001 = 10
<em>Thus,the choir is 10 times more intense than the soloist.</em>

B. Since there are 90 singers, there would be 9 groups of 10-person choir that produces 100 dB or 0.01 W/m². The total intensity would be

Total intensity = 0.01 W/m² (original choir) + 0.001 W/m² (soloist) + 10(0.01 W/m²) (additional 90 singers) = 0.111 W/m²
dB = 10 log(0.111/10⁻¹²) = <em>110.45 dB</em>

C. Rock concert:
    120 dB = 10 log(I/10⁻¹²)
    Solving for I,
    I = 1 W/m²

Ratio = 1/0.111 = 9
<em>Therefore, the rock concert is 9 times more intense than the choir concert.</em>
