At the North Pole or South Pole but ur body itself doesn’t not change it is the force of gravity that changes as u approach the pole

Answer:

Explanation:

Your body weighs more at the pole for two important reasons. Both have to do to the spin of the earth on its axis.

Because of its spin the earth is thicker around the equator than it is through the poles. This means that when you stand on the equator, you are farther away from the center of earth than you would be at the poles. As gravity decreases with the inverse of the square of distance, gravity will be weaker at the equator.

As you are also spinning with the earth, you will have a required centripetal acceleration and force to keep you attached to the ground, This force decreases the effect of gravity so again, you would weigh less at the equator.

Answer:

$\mu = 1.645$

Explanation:

By Snell's law we know at the left surface

$\theta_i = 19^o$

$\theta_r = ?$

$\mu_1 = 1$

$\mu_2 = \mu$

now we have

$1 sin19 = \mu sin\theta_r$

$0.33 = \mu sin\theta_r$

now on the other surface we know that

angle of incidence = $\theta_r'$

$\theta_e = 90$

so again we have

$\mu sin\theta_r' = 1 sin90$

so we have

$\theta_r = sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu}$

$\theta_r' = sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}$

also we know that

$\theta_r + \theta_r' = 49$

$sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu} + sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu} = 49$

By solving above equation we have

$\mu = 1.645$

Why do temperatures differ between air, land, and water?

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:the ocean water isn't moving into or through the atmosphere as a result of the sun's heating of the water, convection isn't the process influencing air and water temperature difference. The heat of the ocean is being given off radiated into the air, making the air substantially warmer
