<span>If it stopped spinning completely, you would get 1/2 year daylight and 1/2 year nightime!! During daytime for 6 months, the surface temperature would depend on your latitude, being far hotter that it is now at the equator than at the poles where the light rays are more slanted and heating efficiency is lower. This long-term temperature gradient would alter the atmospheric wind circulation pattern so that the air would move from the equator to the poles rather than in wind systems parallel to the equator like they are now!</span>

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

In order to hit the same point with the second ball, you should throw it at an angle of 18° above the horizontal.

Explanation:

Horizontal reach formula for projectiles tells us

d=\frac{v_i^2\sin(2\theta)}{g},

where v_i is the initial velocity and \theta the angle above the horizontal.

Since for both shots the reach must be the same, we have

\frac{v_i^2\sin(2\theta_1)}{g}=\frac{v_i^2\sin(2\theta_2)}{g}\\\sin(2\theta_1)=\sin(2\theta_2)\\\theta_2=\frac{1}{2}\arcsin(\sin(2\theta_1))=\frac{1}{2}\arcsin(\sin(2\times 72\deg))=\mathbf{18\deg}.

The human eye can respond to as little as 10^−18 J of light energy. For a wavelength at the peak of visual sensitivity, 550 nm,
Bumek [7]
<span>The key equation is going to come from Mr Planck: E=h \nu

Where h is Plancks constant; and ν is the frequency. This equation gives you the energy per photon at a given frequency. Alas, you're given wavelength, but that's easy enough to convert to frequency given the following equation:

c= lambda / nu

where c is the speed of light; λ (lambda) is the wavelength; and ν is again frequency. As soon as you know the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 550nm, you should know how many photons you would require to accumulate 10^-18J. Be careful with your units.</span>
