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

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.

A certain bridge is 4,224 feet long. What constant rate, in miles per hour, must be maintained in order to walk across the bridg
Archy [21]

Answer:

4miles/hour

Explanation:

the solution for this question requires that the quantities are converted to the appropriate units as required by the question.

Rate in miles per hour = distance in miles / time in hour

to convert 12 minutes to hours; recall that 60 minutes make 1 hour

12 minutes to hour = 12/60 = 0.2hr

to convert 4224 feet to miles; recall 5280 feet is equivalent to 1 mile

4224 feet to miles = 4224/5280 = 0.8 miles

∴ rate = 0.8 / 0.2

rate = 4 miles per hour

the constant rate in miles per hour = 4 miles/hour

Which has zero acceleration?
Llana [10]

At rest, when travelling at a constant speed, and when in mechanical equilibrium, there is no acceleration and answer choice D is correct.

<h3>How would you define acceleration?</h3>

In mechanics, acceleration describes the rate at which a driving object's velocity changes over time. They are accelerations and vector quantities. The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Depending on whether an object is moving faster, slower, or in a different direction, its velocity may change. Examples of acceleration include a falling apple, the moon orbiting the earth, and a car that has stopped at a stop sign. The car is positively accelerating if the speed is increasing. As the car slows down, its speed decreases. A decline in speed is referred to as negative acceleration. In both situations, the car is traveling ahead, yet one has a positive acceleration and the other a negative one.

What type of rock is limestone? Describe how a limestone rock is likely to change over a long period of time.
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Limestone is a sedimentary rock

Explanation:

1. Limestone is a carbonate sedimentary rock made up of calcite(CaCO₃).This rock type forms calcareous shells and tests of organisms that was deposited in a sedimentary basin.

Limestone is used in building and construction works. It also finds application in chemical industries.

2. Over a long period of time, we would take a look at the rock "limestone" through the rock cycle.

Limestone being a sedimentary rock would be converted to marble, a metamorphic rock if subjected to metamorphic conditions over an extensive period of time. With series of metamorphic transformation, marble can grade to higher metamorphic facies of rocks as it combines with other minerals in the crust. The minerals would eventually change and as the changed rock approaches its melting temperature, melt would result.

From the other spectrum, limestone can be weathered if subjected extensively to denudation forces such as wind, water and glaciation. Water is more potent for the chemical weathering of limestone. Limestone would easily and readily dissolve in it over a long period of time.

1. A student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.  She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h

Hence, this is the required solution.
