what causes places near the equator to receive more direct sunlight than the poles? the poles are farther away from the sun than

the equator the tilt of the earth on its axis places that are far away from the equator have more cloud cover, which blocks the sun's light places that are far away from the equator have more wind which cools the air

This is due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. Although the Sun shines on Earth, because of how the Earth is tilted, the equator is more directly hit compared to places found on the poles. The poles are hit at an angle, therefore the sunlight they receive is lesser than the places at the equator.

A piece of wood 400N in weight and 50cm X 30cm X 20cm in size lies on 50cm X 20cm face. Calculate the pressure exerted by it.
Serga [27]

Answer:

P = 4000 [Pa]

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force and the area where the body rests.

The support area is equal to:

A=50*20=1000[cm^{2} ]

But we must convert from square centimeters to square meters.

1000[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2}m^{2}  }{100^{2}m^{2}  }=0.1[m^{2} ]

And the pressure is:

P=\frac{F}{A} \\P=400/0.1\\P=4000[N/m^{2} ]or 4000[Pa]

Natalie accelerate her skateboard along a straight path from 0 m/s to 4.0 m/s in 2.5 s. find her average acceleration
Vikentia [17]
Acceleration=(speed end - speed start)/ time
Data:
speed end=4 m/s
speed start=0 m/s
time=2.5 s

acceleration=(4 m/s - 0 m/s)/2.5 s=1.6 m/s²

Answer: the acceleration would be 1.6 m/s²

A torsional pendulum consists of a disk of mass 450 g and radius 3.5 cm, hanging from a wire. If the disk is given an initial an
Montano1993 [528]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion, starting from the definition of angular velocity in terms of frequency, to verify the angular displacement and its respective derivative, let's start:

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi (2.5)

\omega = 5\pi rad/s

The angular displacement is given as the form:

\theta (t) = \theta_0 cos(\omega t)

In the equlibrium we have to t=0, \theta(t) = \theta_0 and in the given position we have to

\theta(t) = \theta_0 cos(5\pi t)

Derived the expression we will have the equivalent to angular velocity

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = 2.7rad/s

Replacing,

\theta_0(sin(5\pi t))5\pi = 2.7

Finally

\theta_0 = \frac{2.7}{5\pi}rad = 9.848\°

Therefore the maximum angular displacement is 9.848°

Un automovil parte del reposo y acelera uniformemente hasta alcanzar una rapidez de 0,255km/h en un tiempo de 3/4 Minutos determ
Elden [556K]

Answer:

a = 1.5*10^-3 m/s^2

x = 0.033m = 3.3cm

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration and the distance traveled by the car you use the following formulas:

v=v_o+at    (1)

x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2   (2)

v: final velocity = 0,255 km/h

vo: initial velocity = 0 m/s

t: time = 3/4 min

a: acceleration = ?

x: distance

In order to use the equations (1) and (2) you first convert the units of the final velocity to m/s, and the time to seconds.

v=0,255\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}\\\\v=0.07m/s\\\\t=\frac{3}{4}min*\frac{60s}{1min}=45s

Next, you solve the equation (1) for the acceleration a:

a=\frac{v}{t}=\frac{0.07m/s}{45s}=1.5*10^{-3}\frac{m}{s^2}

With this value of a you can calculate the distance traveled by the car, by using the equation (2):

x=\frac{1}{2}(1.5*10^{-3}m/s^2)(45s)^2=0.033m=3.3cm

hence, the acceleration of the car is 1.5*10^-3 m/s^2 and the distance traveled in 3/4 min is 0.033m
