It is because the equator is closer to the sun and because the sun's rays hit the surface of the Earth at a higher angle at the equator. The poles are colder because they don't get direct sunlight. The sun is always low on the horizon.

A 1.0-kg block moving to the right at speed 3.0 m/s collides with an identical block also moving to the right at a speed 1.0 m/s

____ [38]

Answer:

Speed of both blocks after collision is 2 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both blocks, m₁ = m₂ = 1 kg

Velocity of first block, u₁ = 3 m/s

Velocity of other block, u₂ = 1 m/s

Since, both blocks stick after collision. So, it is a case of inelastic collision. The momentum remains conserved while the kinetic energy energy gets reduced after the collision. Let v is the common velocity of both blocks. Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v$

$v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

$v=\dfrac{1\ kg\times 3\ m/s+1\ kg\times 1\ m/s}{2\ kg}$

v = 2 m/s

Hence, their speed after collision is 2 m/s.

A bar on a hinge starts from rest and rotates with an angular acceleration α = 12 + 5t, where α is in rad/s2 and t is in seconds

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Ф = 239.73 rad

Explanation:

α = 12 + 15×t

W = ∫α×dt

= ∫(12 + 5×t)×dt

= 12×t + 2.5×t^2

then:

Ф = ∫W×dt

= ∫(12×t + 2.5×t^2)dt

= 6×t^2 + 5/6×t^3

therefore the angle at t = 4.88s is:

Ф = 6×(4.88)^2 + 5/6×(4.88)^3

= 239.73 rad
