Two students designed an experiment to study the effect of solar radiations on four cities of Earth. They used a globe to repres

ent Earth and a light bulb to represent the sun. The four cities were labeled A, B, C, and D on the globe at the latitudes shown in the chart below. City Latitude A 33° 53' S B 64° 03' N C 39° 56' N D 2° 09' S The students moved the globe slowly around the light bulb in an elliptical orbit. Based on the experiment, the students are most likely to conclude that the least variation in seasons will be experienced at City A City B City C City D

Great experiment !  Everybody should try it if they can get the equipment. 
It demonstrates a lot of things that are very hard to explain in words. 

I hope the students remembered to tilt the axis of the globe.  If they didn't,
and instead kept it straight up and down, then each city had pretty much
the same amount of bulb-light all the way around, and there were no seasons.

If the axis of the globe was tilted, then City-D had the least variation in
seasons.  City-D is only 2° from the equator, so the sun is more direct
there all year around than it is at any of the others.

The volume of 2.0 kg of helium in a piston-cylinder device is initially 7 m3. Now the helium is compressed to 5 m3 while its pre
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

A) T1 = 269.63 K

T2 = 192.59 K

B) W = -320 KJ

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial volume: V1 = 7 m³

Final Volume; V2 = 5 m³

Constant Pressure; P = 160 KPa

Mass; m = 2 kg

To find the initial and final temperatures, we will use the ideal gas formula;

T = PV/mR

Where R is gas constant of helium = R = 2.0769 kPa.m/kg

Thus;

Initial temperature; T1 = (160 × 7)/(2 × 2.0769) = 269.63 K

Final temperature; T2 = (160 × 5)/(2 × 2.0769) = 192.59 K

B) world one is given by the formula;

W = P(V2 - V1)

W = 160(5 - 7)

W = -320 KJ

Ricardo, of mass 80 kg, and Carmelita, who is lighter, are enjoying Lake Merced at dusk in a 30 kg canoe. When the canoe is at r
Deffense [45]

Answer:

m=57.65 kg

Explanation:

Given Data

Ricardo mass m₁=80 kg

Canoe mass m₂=30 kg

Canoe Length L= 3 m

Canoe moves x=40 cm

When Canoe was at rest the net total torque is zero.

Let the center of mass is at x distance from the canoe center and it will be towards the Ricardo cause. So the toque around the center of mass is given as

m_{1}(L/2-x)=m_{2}x+m_{2}(L/2-x)

We have to find m₂.To find the value of m₂ first we need figure out the value of.As they changed their positions the center of mass moved to other side by distance 2x.

so

2x=40

x=40/2

x=20 cm

Substitute in the above equation we get

m_{x}=\frac{m_{1}(L/2-x)-m_{2}x }{L/2+x}\\m_{x}=\frac{80(\frac{3}{2}-0.2 )-30*0.2}{3/2+0.2}\\m_{x}=57.65 kg

3. A model rocket takes 0.05 seconds to speed up from rest to its maximum velocity of 80 m/s.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

1600 \frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time it took to produce such change. The formula then reads:

a = \frac{change-in-velocity}{time} = \frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

Where Vf is the final velocity of the object, (in our case 80 m/s)

Vi is the initial velocity of the object (in our case 0 m/s because the object was at rest)

and t is the time it took to change from the Vi to the Vf (in our case 0.05 seconds.

Therefore we have:

a = \frac{80 m/s - 0 m/s}{0.05 sec} = 1600 \frac{m}{s^2}

Notice that the units of acceleration in the SI system are \frac{m}{s^2} (meters divided square seconds)

Different units used to describe average velocity can be changed from one to another by the use of
lisov135 [29]
<span>Average velocity can be calculated by determining the total displacement divided by the total time of travel. The average velocity of an object does not tell us anything about what happens to it between the starting point and ending point. Average velocity is different from average speed because it considers the direction of travel and the overall change in position.</span>
