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.

Can I use your answer to part-'a' ?

If the angular acceleration is actually 32 rev/min², than
after 1.2 min, it has reached the speed of

                 (32 rev/min²) x (1.2 min)  =  38.4 rev/min .

Check:

If the initial speed is zero and the final speed is 38.4 rpm,
then the average speed during the acceleration period is

                  
(1/2) (0 + 38.4)  =  19.2 rpm  average

At an average speed of  19.2 rpm for 1.2 min,
it covers

                   (19.2 rev/min) x (1.2 min)  =  23.04 revs .

That's pretty close to the "23" in the question, so I think that
everything here is in order.

Answer:

The speed with which the man flies forward is 5.5 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the man = 100 kg

The mass of the scooter = 10 kg

The speed with which the man was traveling on the scooter = 5 m/s

The speed of the scooter after it hits the rock = 0 m/s

Let v represent the speed with which the man flies forward

The formula for momentum, P, is P = Mass × Velocity

The conservation of linear momentum principle is, the total initial momentum = The total final momentum, therefore, we have;

The total initial momentum = (100 kg + 10 kg) × 5 m/s = 550 kg·m/s

The total final momentum = 100 kg × v + 10 kg × 0 m/s = 100 kg × v

When the momentum is conserved, we have;

550 kg·m/s = 100 kg × v

∴ v = 550 kg·m/s/(100 kg) = 5.5 m/s.

The speed with which the man flies forward = v = 5.5 m/s

If a negative charge is initially at rest in an electric field, will it move toward a region of higher potential or lower potenti
monitta

Answer with explanation :

The negative sign means that the potential energy decreases by the movement of the electron.

negative charge at rest in an electric field moves toward the region of an electric field , so that its potential energy will diminish and change into the kinetic energy of motion. The total energy remains constant.

Positive charges will move downhill because of convention. It is to stay in accordance with other potential theories, particularly gravity, where the "charge" is mass, that moves downwards in the gravitational potential field expressed by ϕ(r)=−GM|r|ϕ(r)=−GM|r|. In an electronic system, howbeit, positive charges are fixed in their position within a component (e.g., a wire), therefore instead of the mobile,the negative charges, electrons, move uphill.
