How does the tilt of Earth's axis affect how the sun's rays strike Earth?

1 answer:

4 0

If the rays are tilted that means that one part of the earth will get more sun rays, therefore it is summer there, and vice versa

A block of mass 1.3 kg is resting at the base of a frictionless ramp. A bullet of mass 50 g is traveling parallel to the ramp su

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

s = 2.65 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of block,M = 1.3 Kg

mass of bullet,m = 50 g = 0.05 Kg

speed of bullet,u = 250 m/s

speed of bullet after collision,v = 100 m/s

distance traveled by the block = ?

Assuming the angle of inclination of ramp equal to 40°

calculating the speed of the block

using conservation of momentum

M u' + m u = m v + M v'

initial speed of the block is equal to zero

0 + 0.05 Kg x 250 = 0.05 x 100 + 1.3 x v'

1.3 v' = 7.5

v' = 5.77 m/s

now, calculation of acceleration

equation the horizontal component

-mg sin θ = ma

a = - g sin θ

a = - 9.8 x sin 40°

a = -6.29 m/s²

using equation of motion for the calculation of distance moved by the block

v² = u² + 2 a s

0² = 5.77² + 2 x (-6.29) x s

12.58 s = 33.29

s = 2.65 m

hence, the distance moved by the block is equal to 2.65 m

How do free-body force diagrams help you determine an object’s direction of motion?

finlep [7]

FBD provides a visual for every force that the object experiences. It can tell you the direction by showing the direction and magnitude of the forces. You can calculate the net force, example being that the applied force is 300N and the force of friction is 100N, the net force is 200N in the direction of the applied force. (Fnet= Fa- Ff).

An artificial satellite circles Earth in a circular orbit at a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.00 m/s2. Dete

Ksju [112]

<span>g = GMe/Re^2, where Re = Radius of earth (6360km), G = 6.67x10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2, and Me = Mass of earth. On the earth's surface, g = 9.81 m/s^2, so the radius of your orbit is:

R = Re * sqrt (9.81 m/s^2 / 9.00 m/s^2) = 6640km

here, the speed of the satellite is:

v = sqrt(R*9.00m/s^2) = 7730 m/s

the time it would take the satellite to complete one full rotation is:

T = 2*pi*R/v = 5397 s * 1h/3600s = 1.50 h

Hope it help i know it's long and may be confusing but if you have any more questions regarding this topic just hmu! :)</span>
