How would the seasons change if the earth were tilted at 90 degrees instead of 23.5?

1 answer:

6 0

The 23.5 degree tilt is responsible for the seasons. If the earth had no tilt there would not be seasons. If the earth was tilted by 90 degrees the seasonal changes would be at the most extreme. The Earth's pole would point directly at the sun at a point on the track around the sun. As the Earth revolves around the Sun the pole would alternate twice each year between pointing directly at the sun and being perpendicular to the sun.

I hope this helps you!

If v =5.00 meters/second and makes an angle of 60 with the negative direction of the y-axis coalculate the possible values of vx

Sever21 [200]

An angle of 60 degrees with the negative y-axis could mean 60 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, which translates to two possible angles (starting from the positive x-axis and moving counterclockwise) of 210 degrees or 330 degrees.

Then the horizontal component $v_x$ of a velocity vector $\mathbf v$ with magnitude $5.00\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$ could be one of two expressions:

$v_x=\left(5.00\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos210^\circ=-4.33\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

$v_x=\left(5.00\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos330^\circ=4.33\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

A kid at the junior high cafeteria wants to propel an empty milk carton along a lunch table by hitting it with a 3.0g spit ball.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

4.3 m/s

Explanation:

Using conservation of momentum, assume that the collision is elastic and that the 3.0 g ball stuck with the carton

3.0 g = 3 / 1000 = 0.003 kg = m₁

40 g = 40 / 1000 = 0.04 kg = m₂, u₂ = 0 since the body is stationary and v = 0.3m/s

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v ( m₁ + m₂)

0.003 u₁ = 0.30 ( 0.003 + 0.04) = 0.0129

u₁ = 0.0129 / 0.003 = 4.3 m/s

How are surface waves similar to transverse waves?

Nataly [62]

In longitudinal and transverse waves, all the particles in the entire bulk of the medium move in a parallel and a perpendicular direction (respectively) relative to the direction of energy transport. In a surface wave, it is only the particles at the surface of the medium that undergo the circular motion.
