<span>The American Southwest and northeastern Africa are the two sunniest regions of the world, with the U.S. city of Yuma, Arizona, taking the crown as the sunniest place on Earth. Yuma, located where the state borders both California and Mexico, receives more than 4,000 sunlight hours per year and averages 11 sunny hours per day over the course of the year. Following closely behind Yuma is another U.S. city -- Phoenix -- which receives an average of 3,872 sunlight hours a year. The third sunniest spot on Earth is Aswan, Egypt, which has an average of 3,863 sunlight hours every year and averages 10.6 sunny hours per day.</span>

What is an ideal diode? a. The ideal diode acts as an open circuit for forward currents and as a short circuit with reverse volt
Serhud [2]

Answer:

d.  The ideal diode acts as a short circuit for forward currents and as an open circuit with reverse voltage applied.

Explanation:

Ideal diode acts like an ideal conductor. In case of forward voltage it acts like an ideal conductor. However when it is reverse biased then it behaves like an ideal insulator. You can understand it bu considering a switch. When the voltage is forward then ideal diode acts like a closed switch. When the voltage is reverse biased then ideal diode behaves like an open switch.

        That is why we can say that the ideal diode acts as a short circuit (higher conduction) for forward currents and as an open circuit ( zero conduction) with reverse voltage applied.

Why does atmospheric pressure decrease with altitude.
ella [17]

Answer:

<em>Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. ... As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what meteorologists and mountaineers mean by "thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.</em>

Find the magnitude of the impulse delivered to a soccer ball when a player kicks it with a force of 1360 N. Assume that the play
Alona [7]

Answer:

7.59Ns

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 1360N

Time of contact  = 5.85 x 10⁻³s

Unknown:

Impulse  = ?

Solution:

The impulse of the ball is given as:

        Impulse  = Force x time

       Impulse  = 1360 x 5.85 x 10⁻³ = 7.59Ns

For this problem, we assume that we are on planet-i. the radius of this planet is r =4200 km, the gravitational acceleration at
Minchanka [31]
The expression commonly used for potential gravitational energy is just simplification. It is actually just the first term in Taylor expansion of the real expression. 
In general, the potential energy of gravitational field is defined as:
U=-G \frac{mM}{r}
Where G is universal gravitational constant, and r is the distance between the objects centers of mass. Negative sign represents the bound state.
Since we are not given the mass of the planet we have to calculate it.
F_g=G\frac{mM}{r_p^2}\\ mg=G\frac{mM}{r_p^2}\\ g=G\frac{M}{r_p^2}
This formula can be used for any planet. It gives you the gravitational acceleration on the planet's surface. We can use it to calculate the planet's mass:
g=G\frac{M}{r_p^2}\\ M=\frac{gr_p^2}{G}=2.41\cdot 10^{24}kg
Now we can calculate the potential energy of that cannonball when it reaches its maximum height.
U=-G \frac{mM}{r}\\ U=-G \frac{mM}{r_p+h}
When we plug in the numbers we get:
U=-4.99\cdot 10^{10} J
The potential energy has to be equal to the kinetic energy.
E_k=4.99\cdot 10^{10} J
