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

Answer:

25.  Approximately 8.1 meters

26. North 1.31 km, and East 2.81 km

Explanation:

25.

Notice that the displacements: 6 meters east and 5.4 south create the legs of a right angle triangle. The hypotenuse of that triangle will be the distance (d) needed to cover in order to get the ball in the hole in one putt. That is:

d=\sqrt{6^2+5.4^2} =\sqrt{65.16} \approx 8.072\,\,\,m

which can be rounded to 8.1 m.

26.

Notice that the 3.1 km at an angle of 25 degrees north of east, is the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle that has for legs the east and north components of that distance.

We can find the leg corresponding to the east displacement using the cosine function (that relates adjacent side with hypotenuse):

east\,\, comp=3.1 * cos(25^o)\approx 2.809\,\,km

and we can calculate the north component using the sine function that relates the opposite side to the angle with the hypotenuse.

north\,\,component = 3.1 * sin(25^o) \approx 1.31 \,\,km

A satellite orbits at a distance from the Earth's center of about 2.60 Earth radii and takes 5.89 hours to go around once. What
Elenna [48]

Answer:

424088766.068 m

Explanation:

Radius of the circular orbit that the satellite is 2.6 Earth radii (r) = 2.6 R

R = Radius of earth = 6371000 m (mean radius)

In order to find the distance that the satellite travels in 5.89 hours to complete one complete revolution is the circumference of the circular orbit

Circumference of a circle = 2×π×r

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6 R

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6×6371000

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 104078451.3393m

Distance travelled in 1 hour = 104078451.3393/5.89 = 17670365.252 m

∴ Distance travelled in 24 hours = 17670365.252×24 = 424088766.068 m
