Answer:
2.353 × 10⁵ years
Explanation:
Since speed, v = distance/time
time, t = distance/speed
The distance, d = circumference of orbit = 2πr where r = radius of orbit = 8.5 kiloparsecs = 8.5 kiloparsecs × 3.1 × 10¹³ kilometers/parsec = 26.35 × 10¹³ kilometers and velocity of sun, v = 220 km/s
So, the time it takes to complete one orbit, T is
T = 2πr/v
= 2π × 26.35 × 10¹³ km/220 km/s
= 165.562 × 10¹³ km ÷ 220 km/s
= 0.753 × 10¹³ s
= 7.53 × 10¹² s
We now convert T to years
T = 7.53 × 10¹² s ÷ 3.2 × 10⁷ seconds/year
T = 2.353 × 10⁵ years
V: there would be no seasons and humanity would suffer
Let the cold water go up x degrees.
Let the hot water go down 100 - x degrees.
The formula for heat exchange is m*c*delta t
Givens
Ice
deltat = x
m = 0.50 kg
c = 4.18
Hot water
deltat = 100 - x
m = 1.5 kg
c = 4.18
Formula
The heat up = heat down
0.50 * c * x = 1.5 * c * (100 - x) Divide both sides by c
Solution
0.50 *x = 1.5*(100 - x) Remove the brackets.
0.5x = 150 - 1.5x Add 1.5x to both sides.
0.5x + 1.5x = 150 - 1.5x + 1.5x Combine like terms
2x = 150 Divide by 2
x = 75
Answer
A
<span>The earth has hotter summers and cooler winters because the axis of the earth is tilted. In July, the earth is tilted on its axis and is the furthest away from the sun while in January it is tilted so that it is closest to the sun at that time of year. That said, during the summer months, due to the way the earth is tilted, the sun's rays hit the earth at a much more direct line meaning they are more powerful. THis, in turn, makes the summer much warmer than the winter.</span>
