When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun that part of the earth is closer to the sun and thus hotter? True or false

Physics

<u>False</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Most of us have a belief that Earth is very close to the sun in summer season and so it is hotter. Also, since Earth is far away from the sun in winter season, it is colder.  Though this idea looks true, it is incorrect.

The orbit of the Earth isn't a perfect circle. It is quite tilted. During some months of the year, Earth is very close to the sun than at other times. We have winter when the Earth is very close to the sun and summer when it is far away in the Northern Hemisphere. So when we compare the distance of the Sun from the Earth, this change in Earth's distance throughout the year does not affect our weather much.

'The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror'.This is the correct statement that corrects an error on the site.

<h3>What is the law of reflection?</h3>

The law of reflection specifies that upon reflection from a downy surface, the slope of the reflected ray is similar to the slope of the incident ray.

The reflected ray is consistently in the plane determined by the incident ray and perpendicular to the surface at the point of reference of the incident ray.

When the light rays descend on the smooth surface, the angle of reflection is similar to the angle of incidence, also the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in a similar plane.

Hence 'The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror'.This is the correct statement that corrects an error on the site

3. A car has a mass of 2.50 x 10^3 kg. If the force acting on the car is 7.65 x 10^3 N to the
const2013 [10]

Answer:

3.06m/s² to the east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 2.5 x 10³kg

Force acting on the car  = 7.65 x 10³N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car  = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

      Force  = mass x acceleration

   Acceleration  = \frac{Force }{mass}   = \frac{7.65 x 10^{3} }{2.5 x 10^{3} }    = 3.06m/s² to the east

The correct answer is 1 and 4.

Burning of fossil fuels releases harmful gases to the atmosphere which leads to climate change. Burning of hydrogen gas releases water which has no negative effect on climate.

Burning of both fossil fuels and hydrogen takes place inside expensive fuel cells.

Fossil fuels are widely available and easy to locate whereas hydrogen is available in the combined form with other elements. Hydrogen are not found in pure form on earth.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable source of energy which means they cannot be replaced in short time.

Larger animals use proportionately less energy than smaller animals; that is, it takes less energy per kg to power an elephant t
marin [14]

Answer:

Part a)

Q = 952 cal/day

Part b)

P = 46 Watt

Part c)

\Delta P = 54 W

Explanation:

As we know that 5000 kg African elephant requires 70,000 Cal for basic needs per day

so we will have

m = 5000 kg

Q = 70,000 Cal

so we have energy required per kg

E = \frac{70,000}{5000}

E = 14 cal/kg

Part a)

now we know that per kg the energy required will be same

so we have mass of the human is 68 kg

so energy required per day is given as

Q = 68 \times 14

Q = 952 cal/day

Part b)

Resting power is the rate of energy in Joule required per sec

so it is given as

P = \frac{952 \times 4186}{24\times 3600}

P = 46 Watt

Part c)

resting power given in the book is

P' = 100 W

so this is less than the power given

\Delta P = 100 - 46

\Delta P = 54 W
