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

Two identical satellites orbit the earth in stable orbits. One satellite orbits with a speed v at a distance r from the center o

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

c)At a distance greater than r

Explanation:

For a satellite in orbit around the Earth, the gravitational force provides the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in motion:

$G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

r is the distance between the satellite and the Earth's centre

v is the speed of the satellite

Re-arranging the equation, we write

$r = \frac{GM}{v^2}$

so we see from the equation that when the speed is higher, the distance from the Earth's centre is smaller, and when the speed is lower, the distance from the Earth's centre is larger.

Here, the second satellite orbit the Earth at a speed less than v: this means that its orbit will have a larger radius than the first satellite, so the correct answer is

c)At a distance greater than r

Which describes the movement of a fluid during convection?

VikaD [51]

The movement of a fluid during convection is a circular/oval motion since the fluid at the top sinks and the fluid at the bottom rises.

Hope this helps :)

1)a persons ________ will change if they move from the earth to the moon

fgiga [73]

A person's weight will change if they move from the earth to the moon. This does not however, change the person's mass. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, and volume is how much space it takes up. On the moon, there is a lighter gravitational pull on said person, so they will not weigh as much if they stepped on a scale.
