Answer:
During <u>winter (late December/early January)</u> the Earth is closest to the Sun and during <u>summer (late June/early July)</u> the Earth is farthest from the Sun.
Explanation:
In the northern hemisphere, the earth usually comes closer to the sun during the time of winter season, mostly in late December or early January.
On the other hand, the earth is farthest from the sun during the time of summer season, mostly in late June or early July.
When the earth is closer to the sun, during the winter, it is comparatively cold. It is due to the absorption of a lesser amount of incoming solar radiation. The tilt of the earth is also responsible for this low temperature.
But, when the earth is farthest from the sun, during the summer, it is comparatively hot. It is due to the absorption of a large amount of incoming solar radiation.
Answer:
B) Gets smaller
Explanation:
The difference of phase between current and voltage in a AC circuit is the phase angle and it depends on the value of Z ( circuit impedance)
Z = R + X where R is the resistive component and X the reactance component, which is due either to a presence of an inductor or a capacitor. In any case the total impedance depends on R the resistive, and the phase angle φ is:
tan⁻¹ φ = X/R
Have a look to a pure capactive circuit (we are talking about AC current) in this case current leads voltage by 90⁰. If we add a resistor in the circuit the current still will lead a voltage but in this condition the phase angle will be smaller,
If R increase, X/R decrease and tan⁻¹ φ also decrease
Is this a true and false question?
Like so many others in math and science,
this question raises many other questions.
A few of them are:
-- What does "the following" mean ?
-- What does "accerlation" mean ?
and
-- What are the answer choices ?
==> (any unit of length) divided by (any unit of time x any unit of time)
is a unit of acceleration.
==> (any unit of speed) divided by (any unit of time)
is also a unit of acceleration.
