Why is the Earth generally warmer at the equator than at the poles?

Answer: The Sun's energy is more concentrated on the equator than the poles. This is because the Sun's energy (in the form of warmth) is more direct at the equator, and less direct at the poles.

Explanation: You can see this with a flashlight. When you point the flashlight directly toward a tale, the light is very concentrated and right. However, when you point the flashlight toward the table at an angle, the light becomes more spread out and less concentrated. This is why even though sometimes the North Poles and South Poles have 24 hours of sunlight, it never actually reaches a high temperature and instead, keeps it's cold temperature.

Because of the earths curve and temperature. The temperature in an area depends on the amount of the Sun's energy reaching the surface in that area. The equator tilts closer to the sun than the poles do. I hope this helps!

g Two cars, car 1 and car 2 are traveling in opposite directions, car 1 with a magnitude of velocity v1=13.0 m/s and car 2 v2= 7

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

When they are approaching each other

$f_a = 2228.7 \ Hz$

When they are passing each other

$f_a = 2100Hz$

When they are retreating from each other

$f_a = 1980.7 Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The velocity of car one is $v_1 = 13.0 m/s$

The velocity of car two is $v_2 = 7.22 m/s$

The frequency of sound from car one is $f_e = 2.10 kHz$

Generally the speed of sound at normal temperature is $v = 343 m/s$

Now as the cars move relative to each other doppler effect is created and this can be represented mathematically as

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v \pm v_o}{v \pm v_s} ]$

Where $v_s$ is the velocity of the source of sound

$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer of the sound

$f_o$ is the actual frequence

$f_a$ is the apparent frequency

Considering the case when they are approaching each other

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s} ]$

$v_o = v_2$

$v_s = v_1$

$f_o = f_e$

Substituting value

$f_a = 2100 [\frac{343 + 7.22}{ 343 - 13} ]$

$f_a = 2228.7 \ Hz$

Considering the case when they are passing each other

At that instant

$v_o = v_s = 0m/s$

$f_o = f_e$

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v }{v } ]$

$f_a = f_o$

Substituting value

$f_a = 2100Hz$

Considering the case when they are retreating from each other

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v - v_o}{v + v_s} ]$

$v_o = v_2$

$v_s = v_1$

$f_o = f_e$

Substituting value

$f_a = 2100 [\frac{343 - 7.22}{343 + 13} ]$

$f_a = 1980.7 Hz$

ipn [44]

Places with continental climates typically have hot summers and cold winters. As compared to places with mild climates, places with continental climates tend to experience the two extremes when it comes to the seasons. Summers can get very hot, and winters can get very cold.

Inertia
<span> An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.this tendency to retain its motion is referred to as Inertia </span>
