Answer:

The sun.

Explanation:

The sun provides energy for living organisms, and it drives our planet’s weather and climate patterns.

Remember, Earth is spherical and the energy from the sun does not reach all areas with equal intensity. Areas exposed to the sun are directly on the sun’s rays (i.e. those nearest to the equator) and hence, receive greater solar input. In contrast, those in higher latitudes receive sunlight that is spread over a larger area and that has taken a longer path through the atmosphere. As a result, these higher latitudes receive less solar energy.

Also, ocean circulation and precipitation are all factors of weather

The eyes of some reptiles are sensitive to 850 nm light. If the minimum energy to trigger the receptor at this wavelength is 3.1
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Minimum number of photons required is 1.35 x 10⁵

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the light, λ = 850 nm = 850 x 10⁻⁹ m

Energy of one photon is given by the relation :

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}    ....(1)

Here h is Planck's constant and c is speed of light.

Let N be the minimum number of photons needed for triggering receptor.

Minimum energy required for triggering receptor, E₁ = 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

According to the problem, energy of N number of photons is equal to the energy required for triggering, that is,

E₁ = N x E

Put equation (1) in the above equation.

E_{1}=N\times\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Substitute 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J for E₁, 850 x 10⁻⁹ m for λ, 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ J s for h and 3 x 10⁸ m/s for c in the above equation.

3.15\times10^{-14} =N\times\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{850\times10^{-9}}

N = 1.35 x 10⁵

A motorbike accelerates from 15m/s to 25m/s in 15 seconds.
RSB [31]

distance traveled by a uniformly accelerated bike is given as

d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2} (t)

here we know that

v_f = 25 m/s

v_i = 15 m/s

t = 15 s

now we will have from above equation

d = \frac{15 + 25}{2} (15)

d = 20 (15) = 300 m

so it will cover the total distance of 300 m
