B. At the equator

Explanation:

The energy coming from the Sun hits the Earth's surface at different angles, depending on the latitude of the place. The more perpendicular the ray of lights hit the surface, the more the energy transmitted to the Earth's surface, the warmer the location.

The angle at which the ray of lights hit the Earth is related to the latitude: in particular, the ray of lights arrive perpendicular at the equator ( $0^{\circ}$ ), they arrive at larger angle in the United States (which is located at intermediate latitudes) and they arrive at the largest angles at the poles. For this reason, the sun's most energy is concentrated at the equator.

mihalych1998 [28]

We have that F=ma from the 2nd Newton law where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Suppose we have that F' is the new force and m' is the new mass. Then, we have that a'=F'/m' still, by rearranging Newton's law. We are given that F'=2F and m'=m/2. Hence,
$a'= \frac{2F}{ \frac{m}{2} } = \frac{4F}{m} = 4\frac{F}{m}$
But now, we have from F=ma, that a=F/m and we are given that a=1m/s^2.
We can substitute thus, a'=4a=4*1m/s^2=4m/s^2.

How do you calculate the volume and density of something that weighs 20 grams?

Nostrana [21]

Mass divided by volume is density, while mass times density is volume. you cannot calculate density without volume and you cannot calculate volume without density.
i believe that's the answer.
oh gosh i didn't realize my middle school education involved high school stuff.

How are feathers heavy as steel?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: This is because they both weigh a pound. As the density of steel is much greater than the density of feathers, a pound of feathers would make up a much greater volume.

What is the magnitude of the electric field at the origin produced by a semi-circular arc of charge = 7.6 μc, twice the charge o

Anna [14]

Orient the semi-circle arc such that it is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Now, by symmetry, the electric field in the x-direction cancels to zero. So the only thing of interest is the electric field in the y-direction.

dEy=kp/r^2*sin(a) where k is coulombs constant p is the charge density r is the radius of the arc and a is the angular position of each point on the arc (ranging from 0 to pi. Integrating this renders 2kq/(pi*r^3). Where k is 9*10^9, q is 9.8 uC r is .093 m
