Answer: During the months of March and September

Explanation: Hemisphere is a combination of two words; hemi meaning half and sphere referring to the earth which is a spherical celestial body.

The Hemisphere of the Earth is divided into two; Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

The Northern Hemisphere refers to the Hemisphere above the equator and Southern Hemisphere refers to the Hemisphere below the equator.

The earth completes it's revolution about the sun in 365 days. For the first 365 days, the Northern Hemisphere receives more amount of the sun energy while for the second half, the Southern Hemisphere received more amount of the sun's energy.

During equinox however, both the Northern and the Southern Hemisphere receive the same amount of the sun's energy due to the zero tilt (rotation) of the Earth's axis.

The equinox in the Northern Hemisphere is referred to as Spring equinox while that of the Southern Hemisphere is referred to as Autumnal equinox.

These equinoxes occurs in the months of March and September every year.

In March and September both of the hemispheres receive the same amount of energy from the sun. this is because neither end of the axis is tilted toward the sun.

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more calm with fewer disturbances or storms.

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is highly violent and thinner as compared with Saturn.

The layers of atmosphere on Saturn is thicker because of lower gravity of Saturn and hence they are calmer.

Consider a block on a spring oscillating on a frictionless surface. The amplitude of the oscillation is 11 cm, and the speed of
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

Explanation:

The speed of the block v = rω where r = amplitude of the oscillation and ω = angular frequency of the oscillation.

Now ω = v/r since v = speed of the block = 62 cm/s and r = the amplitude of the oscillation = 11 cm.

The angular frequency of the oscillation ω is

ω = v/r

ω = 62 cm/s ÷ 11 cm

ω = 5.64 rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

A guitar string is 0.620m long, and oscillates at 234Hz. What is the velocity of the waves in the string? m/s
9966 [12]

Answer:

v = 72.54 m/s

Explanation:

We have,

Length of a guitar string is 0.62 m

Frequency of a guitar string is 234 Hz

For guitar string,

L=2\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{L}{2}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{0.62}{2}\\\\\lambda=0.31\ m

The velocity of the wave in the string is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\v=234\times 0.31\\\\v=72.54\ m/s

So, the velocity of the waves in the string is 72.54 m/s.
