Answer:

Both hemispheres are warmer in their Spring than they are

in their Winter, because . . .

A). the sun climbs higher in the sky during Spring than it does during

WInter ... shooting its rays more directly at the ground ...,

and

B). the sun stays up in the sky longer in Spring than it does in

Winter, giving the ground more time to absorb its rays.

A physics student tests the theory of projectile motion by leaping off a 225 meter tall building. She runs off the building hori

tamaranim1 [39]

In this item, we are given with the x-component of the velocity. The y-component is equal to 0 m/s. The time it takes for it to reach the volume can be related through the equation,

d = V₀t + 0.5gt²

Substituting the known values,

225 = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(9.8)(t²)

Simplifying,

t = 6.776 s

To determine the distance of the student from the edge of the building, we multiply the x-component by the calculated time.

range = (12.5 m/s)(6.776 s)

range = 84.7 m

Answer: 84.7 m

What is most responsible for the uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere?

Phoenix [80]

The answer would be convection currents. Convection happens when atoms with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas transfer and get the room of particles with fewer heat energy. Heat energy is transported from hot places to cooler places by convection.

A helicopter flies with an air speed of 175 km/h, heading south. The wind is blowing at 85 km/h to the east relative to the grou

spayn [35]

Answer:

154° at 195 km/h

Explanation:

The helicopter is moving south at 175 km/h, relative to the wind.

But the wind is moving east at 85 km/h, relative to the ground.

This means that the helicopter is moving south east relative to the ground.

Every hour, the helicopter will move 175 km to the south and 85 km to the east, relative to the ground.

This means that we can determine the speed and direction of the helicopter using a right triangle and simple trigonometry.

Refer to the triangle b1.

The distance traveled by the helicopter in 1 hour is denoted by d.

d is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can calculate d to be 195 km (rounded to 3 s. f.)

Hence the helicopter is traveling at 195 km/h relative to the ground.

To calculate the direction we use,

tan (x) = opposite/adjacent = 85/175

So the angle x is,

$x = arctan (\frac{85}{175} )$ = 25.9°

Relative to the North, the helicopter is moving at 180° - 25.9° = 154° (rounded to 3 s. f.)

A total of 750 j of work was done when a force of 125 n was exerted on a box to move it. how far was the box moved?

Slav-nsk [51]

Work = Force times Distance
W = Fd

Given W = 750J, F = 125N;

750 = 125d

Solving for d:
d = 750/125
d = 6

The box moved a distance of 6 meters.

The Michelson-Morley experiment a) confirmed that time dilation occurs. b) proved that length contraction occurs. c) verified th

hram777 [196]

Answer:

e) indicated that the speed of light is the same in all inertial reference frames.

Explanation:

In 18th century, many scientists believed that the light just like air and water needs a medium to travel. They called this medium aether. They believed that even the space is not empty and filled with aether.

Michelson and Morley tried to prove the presence and speed of this aether through an interference experiment in 1887. They made an interferometer in which light was emitted at various angles with respect to the supposed aether. Both along the flow and against the flow to see the difference in the speed of light. But they did not find no major difference and thus it became the first proof to disprove the theory of aether.

It thus proved that the speed of light remains same in all inertial frames.

Also, it became a base for the special theory of relativity by Einstein.
