Answer:

The equator gets more direct sunlight throughout the year.

Explanation: The curvature of the Earth causes the Sun's energy to spread out over larger areas with increasing latitude. ... The amount of solar energy in a given area is greater at the equator than in an equal area at the poles, which is why the equator temperature is warmer than the polar temperatures.

hope this helped:)

A football coach walks 18 meters westward, then 12 meters eastward, then 28 meters westward, and finally 14 meters eastward.

From this motion what is the distance covered

What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement

Answer:

$D = 72 \ m$

Magnitude

$d = - 20 \ m$

Direction

West

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance covered westward is $d_w_1 = 18 \ m /tex] The first distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e1 = 12 \ m /tex] The second distance covered westward is [tex]d_w_2 = 28 \ m /tex] The second distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e2 = 14 \ m /tex] Generally the distance covered is mathematically represented as [tex]D = d_w1 + d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2$

=> $D = 18 + 28 + 12 + 14$

=> $D = 72 \ m$

For the second question eastward is in the direction of the positive x-axis so it would be positive and westward is in the direction of the negative x-axis so it would be negative

The magnitude of the displacement is

$d = -d_w1 -d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2$

=> $d = -18-28 + 12 + 14$

=> $d = - 20 \ m$

The direction is west

A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and ________ energy.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Mechanical energy

Explanation:

A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and mechanical energy.

Mechanical energy can be defined as the type of energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or position. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy, that is, the sum of energy in motion and stored energy. Examples of mechanical energy includes driving a car, riding a bicycle, listening to music etc.

Types of mechanical energy

1. Motion energy (kinetic energy)

2. Stored energy(potential energy)

Mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

A 300 MHz electromagnetic wave in air (medium 1) is normally incident on the planar boundary of a lossless dielectric medium wit

Masja [62]

Answer:

Wavelength of the incident wave in air = 1 m

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2 = 0.33 m

Intrinsic impedance of media 1 = 377 ohms

Intrinsic impedance of media 2 = 125.68 ohms

Check the explanation section for a better understanding

Explanation:

a) Wavelength of the incident wave in air

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave in air, f = 300 MHz = 3 * 10⁸ Hz

Speed of light in air, c = 3 * 10⁸ Hz

Wavelength of the incident wave in air:

$\lambda_{air} = \frac{c}{f} \\\lambda_{air} = \frac{3 * 10^{8} }{3 * 10^{8}} \\\lambda_{air} = 1 m$

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2

The refractive index of air in the lossless dielectric medium:

$n = \sqrt{\epsilon_{r} } \\n = \sqrt{9 }\\n =3$

$\lambda_{2} = \frac{c}{nf}\\\lambda_{2} = \frac{3 * 10^{6} }{3 * 3 * 10^{6}}\\\lambda_{2} = 1/3\\\lambda_{2} = 0.33 m$

b) Intrinsic impedances of media 1 and media 2

The intrinsic impedance of media 1 is given as:

$n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_{0} } }$

Permeability of free space, $\mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m$

Permittivity for air, $\epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m$

$n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7} }{8.84 * 10^{-12} } }$

$n_1 = 377 \Omega$

The intrinsic impedance of media 2 is given as:

$n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_r \mu_0}{\epsilon_r \epsilon_{0} } }$

Permeability of free space, $\mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m$

Permittivity for air, $\epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m$

ϵr = 9

$n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7} *1 }{8.84 * 10^{-12} *9 } }$

$n_2 = 125.68 \Omega$

c) The reflection coefficient,r and the transmission coefficient,t at the boundary.

Reflection coefficient, $r = \frac{n - n_{0} }{n + n_{0} }$

You didn't put the refractive index at the boundary in the question, you can substitute it into the formula above to find it.

$r = \frac{3 - n_{0} }{3 + n_{0} }$

Transmission coefficient at the boundary, t = r -1

d) The amplitude of the incident electric field is $E_{0} = 10 V/m$

Maximum amplitudes in the total field is given by:

$E = tE_{0}$ and $E = r E_{0}$

E = 10r, E = 10t

There is a refrigerator running in a room, the heat flowing into the refrigerator from the outside is 40 J/s, and the refrigerat

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

(A) 140 j/sec (b) 1.26 K

Explanation:

We have given the heat heat flowing into the refrigerator = 40 J/sec

Work done = 40 W

(a) So the heat discharged from the refrigerator $=heat\ flowing\ in\ refrigerator+work\ done=40+100=140j/sec$

(b) Total heat absorbed =140 j/sec $=140\times 3600=504000j/hour$

Let the temperature be $\Delta T$

Heat absorbed per hour =504000 $[tex]=400\times 10^3\times \Delta T$

So $\Delta T=\frac{504000}{400000}=1.26K$
