If your asking about the total amount of time the sun is visible, it will be equal over the course of a year. In Nome, Alaska, it will be daylight almost 24 hours a day in the summer and be dark almost 24 hours a day in the winter. In San Diego they are much closer to the equator and will receive sunlight roughly the same amount each day all year long. In the end these times will add up to the same amount.

However if you are asking about intensity of sun light received, San Diego will get considerably more since its near the equator and its getting almost direct sunlight. In Nome, the sunlight is hitting the earth at an angle so fewer rays of light are hitting the ground per square foot.

The first thing you should know for this case is the definition of distance.
 d = v * t
 Where,
 v = speed
 t = time
 We have then:
 d = v * t
 d = 9 * 12 = 108 m
 The kinetic energy is:
 K = ½mv²
 Where,
 m: mass
 v: speed
 K = ½ * 1500 * (18) ² = 2.43 * 10 ^ 5 J
 The work due to friction is
 w = F * d
 Where,
 F = Force
 d = distance:
 w = 400 * 108 = 4.32 * 10 ^ 4
 The power will be:
 P = (K + work) / t
 Where,
 t: time
 P = 2.86 * 10 ^ 5/12 = 23.9 kW
 answer:
 the average power developed by the engine is 23.9 kW

What is the kinetic energy of a 1500kg car with a velocity of 72.0km/h?
Sergeu [11.5K]
KE=0.5 * mass* speed^2

Convert 72 km/h to m/s by dividing it by 3.6

72/3.6= 0.277778m/s

KE=0.5*1500*0.277778
= 208.3335J
= 208J
