Because the polar regions receive low-angle insolation.
Insolation is the amount of solar radiation received by a given area. The Sun is always low on the horizon. The low Sun angle makes the beam of solar radiation to travel a longer distance from upper troposphere to reach earth's surface as compared to when it is directly overhead. In this case, the radiations are scattered and reflected more by the atmosphere and spread over a larger area. Thus, the intensity of solar radiation is very less at polar regions than near the equatorial region. This is the reason of very cold climates at polar regions.
Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. This value is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency.
Wavelength = c/f
Wavelength = 3x10^8 / <span>5.42x10^15
</span><span>Wavelength = 5.54 x 10^-8 m = 55.35 nm</span>
So, If the silica cyliner of the radiant wall heater is rated at 1.5 kw its temperature when operating is 1025.3 K
To estimate the operating temperature of the radiant wall heater, we need to use the equation for power radiated by the radiant wall heater.
<h3>Power radiated by the radiant wall heater</h3>
The power radiated by the radiant wall heater is given by P = εσAT⁴ where
- ε = emissivity = 1 (since we are not given),
- σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 6 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²-K⁴,
- A = surface area of cylindrical wall heater = 2πrh where
- r = radius of wall heater = 6 mm = 6 × 10⁻³ m and
- h = length of heater = 0.6 m, and
- T = temperature of heater
Since P = εσAT⁴
P = εσ(2πrh)T⁴
Making T subject of the formula, we have
<h3>Temperature of heater</h3>
T = ⁴√[P/εσ(2πrh)]
Since P = 1.5 kW = 1.5 × 10³ W
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
T = ⁴√[P/εσ(2πrh)]
T = ⁴√[1.5 × 10³ W/(1 × 6 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²-K⁴ × 2π × 6 × 10⁻³ m × 0.6 m)]
T = ⁴√[1.5 × 10³ W/(43.2π × 10⁻¹¹ W/K⁴)]
T = ⁴√[1.5 × 10³ W/135.72 × 10⁻¹¹ W/K⁴)]
T = ⁴√[0.01105 × 10¹⁴ K⁴)]
T = ⁴√[1.105 × 10¹² K⁴)]
T = 1.0253 × 10³ K
T = 1025.3 K
So, If the silica cylinder of the radiant wall heater is rated at 1.5 kw its temperature when operating is 1025.3 K

See the graph in attachment
Explanation:
In this problem we have to draw a velocity-time graph for an object travelling initially at -3 m/s, then slowing down and turning around.
In the graph, we see that the initial velocity at time t = 0 is
and it is negative, so below the x-axis.
Later, the object slows down: this means that the magnitude of its velocity increases, therefore (since the velocity is negative) the curve must go upward, approaching and reaching the x-axis (which corresponds to zero velocity).
After that, the object's velocity keep increasing, but now it is positive: this means that the object is travelling in a direction opposite to the initial direction, so it has turned around.
