Why is it warmer near the equator than near the poles?

1 answer:

3 0

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.

The atomic number is the simply the number of protons in the atom. So in the first row with atomic number 2, the number of protons is 2.

If the atom has no charge, which I think you can assume for all of these, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So the number of electrons is also 2.

The number of neutrons (which are the particles with no charge in the nucleus) is simply the mass number minus the atomic number i.e. 4 - 2 = 2.

The isotopic symbol is the symbol which is found on the periodic table of elements. There are 2 numbers associated which each element on the table. The larger is the mass number and the smaller is the atomic number. The atomic number or number of protons is what identifies the element. Looking at the periodic table ( https://sciencenotes.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/PeriodicTableOfTheElementsBW.pdf or https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(big) ), it can be seen that the element on the first row above with an atomic number of 2 is Helium with a symbol He. The number that is included with the name is simply the mass number which is 4 in this case, which tells us that this type of helium has 2 neutrons.

Another type (or isotope) of helium is Helium-3 which has one neutron.

A cylinder of mass 250 kg and radius 2.60 m is rotating at 4.00 rad/s on a frictionless.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The angular momentum of a cylinder, when it is rotating with constant angular velocity is Lini =Iωi

. When two cylinders are added to the rotating cylinder, which are identical in their dimensions, the moment of inertia of the entire system increases (since mass increases). The final moment of inertia will be 3I

Since friction exist, all the cylinders start rotating with same angular velocity, the new angular velocity can be calculated using conservation of angular momentum

Thus, Iωi =3Iωf ⟹ωf =ωi/3 = 0.33ωi

In 1976, the SR-71A, flying at 20 km altitude (T = –56 0C), set the official jet-powered aircraft speed record of 3530 km/hr (21

Lapatulllka [165]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the speed of sound, the calculation of the Mach number and finally the calculation of the temperature at the front stagnation point. We will calculate the speed in international units as well as the temperature. With these values we will calculate the speed of the sound and the number of Mach. Finally we will calculate the temperature at the front stagnation point.

The altitude is,

$z = 20km$

And the velocity can be written as,

$V = 3530km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})$

$V = 980.55m/s$

From the properties of standard atmosphere at altitude z = 20km temperature is

$T = 216.66K$

$k = 1.4$

$R = 287 J/kg$

Velocity of sound at this altitude is

$a = \sqrt{kRT}$

$a = \sqrt{(1.4)(287)(216.66)}$

$a = 295.049m/s$

Then the Mach number

$Ma = \frac{V}{a}$

$Ma = \frac{980.55}{296.049}$

$Ma = 3.312$

So front stagnation temperature

$T_0 = T(1+\frac{k-1}{2}Ma^2)$

$T_0 = (216.66)(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}*3.312^2)$

$T_0 = 689.87K$

Therefore the temperature at its front stagnation point is 689.87K

A refrigerator is 1.8m tall, lm wide,and 0.8m deep.The center of mass is lm from the bottom, 0.5m from the side, and 0.6m from t

VikaD [51]

Answer:

F = 520 N

Explanation:

For this exercise the rotational equilibrium equation should be used

Σ τ = 0

Let's set a reference system with the origin at the back of the refrigerator and the counterclockwise rotation as positive. On the x-axis it is horizontal directed outward, eg the horizontal y-axis directed to the side and the z-axis vertical

Torque is

τ = F x r

the bold indicate vectors, we analyze each force

the applied force is horizontal along the -x axis, the arm (perpendicular distance) is directed in the z axis,

The weight of the body is the vertical direction of the z-axis, so the arm is on the x-axis

-F z + W x = 0

F z = W x

F = $\frac{x}{z}$ W

The exercise indicates the point of application of the force z = 1.5 m and the weight is placed in the center of mass of the body x = 0.6 m, we are assuming that the force is applied in the wide center of the refrigerator

let's calculate

F = 1300 0.6 / 1.5

F = 520 N
