<u>Answer: </u>

60 degrees, 30 degrees

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sun angle = 90° - Zenith angle

On September 22, the sun passes over celestial equator. Equinox occurs.

Zenith Angle = Latitude of the place

Latitude of New Orleans, US = 29.95° ≈ 30°

Latitude of  Helsinki, Finland = 60.95° ≈ 60°

Thus, the Sun angle at noon at New Orleans would be 90° - 30° = 60°

and at Helsinki, Finland would be 90° - 60° = 30°

<span>We need to calculate noon sun angle. Noon sun angle is an angle at which sun-rays fall at noon on a given date.
</span>On September 22, the sun’s rays form a 90° angle at noon at the equator.

Formula for calculating noon sun angle is:

Noon_sun_angle = 90° - Zenith angle

We have complementary angles so we need to substract zenith angle from 90°.

The zenith angle is the distance between subsolar point (point where sun is at 90°) and the latitude of an observer. In our case this angle will have same value as latitude because subsolar point is at equator 0°. If our latitude and subsolar point are at same hemisphere we substract values. Otherwise we add values.

New Orleans, USA
Latitude = 30°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 30° = 60°

Helsinki, Finland
Latitude = 60°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 60° = 30°

6. The variable x and y vary directly, and y = 40 when x = 5. Which equation relates the variables?
valkas [14]

Answer:

The equation relates the variables is y = 8x ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

If x and y vary directly (y ∝ x), then y = k x, where

  • k is the constant of variation
  • k can be found using the initial value of x and y

∵ The variable x and y vary directly

∴ y ∝ x

→ By using the rule above

∴ y = k x

∵ y = 40 when x = 5

∴ The initial values of x and y are x = 5 and y = 40

→ Substitute them in the equation above to find k

∵ 40 = k(5)

∴ 40 = 5k

→ Divide both sides by 5

∵ \frac{40}{5} = \frac{5k}{5}

∴ 8 = k

→ Substitute the value of k in the equation above

∴ y = 8x

∴ The equation relates the variables is y = 8x
