The equator is warmer than the poles because the equator is closer to the sun. In other words, the sun is overhead the equator, which is a result of the Earth's curvature.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

   C = 4,174 10³ V / m^{3/4} ,  E = 7.19 10² / ∛x,    E = 1.5  10³ N/C

Explanation:

For this exercise we can calculate the value of the constant and the electric field produced,

Let's start by calculating the value of the constant C

           V = C x^{4/3}

           C = V / x^{4/3}

            C = 220 / (11 10⁻²)^{4/3}

            C = 4,174 10³ V / m^{3/4}

To calculate the electric field we use the expression

            V = E dx

             E = dx / V

             E = ∫ dx / C x^{4/3}

            E = 1 / C  x^{-1/3} / (- 1/3)

            E = 1 / C (-3 / x^{1/3})

We evaluate from the lower limit x = 0 E = E₀ = 0 to the upper limit x = x, E = E

            E = 3 / C     (0- (-1 / x^{1/3}))

            E = 3 / 4,174 10³   (1 / x^{1/3})

           E = 7.19 10² / ∛x

for x = 0.110 cm

          E = 7.19 10² /∛0.11

          E = 1.5  10³ N/C

After a laser bean passes through two thin parallel slits, thefirst completely dark fringes occur at ± 15.00with the original di
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

143 °

Explanation:

a ) If d be the distance between slits , λ be wavelength of light used and at angle θ nth dark fringe is formed then

d sinθ = ( 2n+1) λ/2

for first dark fringe

d sinθ = λ/2

d /λ = 1/ 2 sinθ

1 / 2 sin15

= 1.93

b )

For intensity of fringe at angle θ,  the relation is

I = I₀ cos²θ

I / I₀  = cos²θ/2

Given I / I₀ =0. 1

0.1 = cos²θ/2

θ/2 = 71.5

θ = 143 °

Car a with mass 1,783 kg collides with stationary 1600 kg car b. they become locked together after the collision and move with s
ValentinkaMS [17]

The initial speed of car A is 15.18 m/s.

Momentum is defined as mass in motion. If there are two objects (the two objects in motion or only one object in motion and the other in stationary) that collide and no other forces work in the system, the law of momentum conservation applies in the system.

p=p'

pa+pb = pa'+pb'

(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')

  • ma = mass of object A (kg) = 1,783 kg
  • mb = mass of object B (kg) = 1,600 kg
  • va = speed of object A before collides (m/s)
  • va' = speed of object A after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
  • vb = speed of object B before collides (m/s) = 0 m/s
  • vb' = speed of object B after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
  • p = momentum before collision (Ns)
  • p' = momentum after collision (Ns)

(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')

(1,783×va) + (1,600×0) = (1,783×8) + (1,600×8)

(1,783×va) + 0 = 14,264+12,800

(1,783×va) = 27,064

va \:=\: \frac{27,064}{1.783}

va = 15.18 m/s

A sinusoidal wave traveling on a string has a period of 0.20 s, a wavelength of 32 cm, and an amplitude of 3 cm. The speed of th
Finger [1]

Answer:

v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}

Explanation:

If we have a periodic wave we need to satisfy the following basic relationship:

v = \lambda f

From the last formula we see that the velocity is proportional fo the frequency.

For this case we have the following info given by the problem:

T= 0.2 s, \lambda =32 cm* \frac{1m}{100cm} =0.32 m, A= 3cm*\frac{1m}{100 cm}=0.03 m

We know that the frequency is the reciprocal of the period so we have this formula:

f = \frac{1}{T}

And if we replace we got:

f =\frac{1}{0.2 s}= 5Hz

Now since we have the value for the wavelength we can find the velocity like this:

v = 0.32 m * 5Hz = 1.6 \frac{m}{s}

And if we convert this into cm/s we got:

v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}
