I was in Anchorage Alaska during the Summer Solstice. The sun rose around 3am and set around 1 am the next day-- almost 24 hours

of sunlight. If the tilt of the Earth was changed to be 10 degrees, how would the length of daylight in Alaska change at the Summer Solstice

Answer:

Daylight hours would be shorter.

Explanation:

If there were no tilt of the axis at all, every place on the planet except the north and south poles would have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night every day of the year.

At a 10° tilt, the arctic circle and antarctic circles would be a little less than half the distance from the poles as they are today.

What mass of ice (in g) can be melted if 27.2 kJ of thermal energy are added at the freezing point? Use molar mass = 18.02 g/mol
san4es73 [151]

Answer : The mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of ice.

Q=\frac{\Delta H}{n}

where,

Q = energy absorbed = 27.2 kJ

\Delta H = enthalpy of fusion of ice = 6.01 kJ/mol

n = moles = ?

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

27.2kJ=\frac{6.01kJ/mol}{n}

n=0.221mol

Now we have to calculate the mass of ice.

\text{Mass of ice}=\text{Moles of ice}\times \text{Molar mass of ice}

Molar mass of ice = 18.02 g/mol

\text{Mass of ice}=0.221mol\times 18.02g/mol=3.98g

Thus, the mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

A ball bounced by a basketball player on the floor bounces back up at her. Newton's First Law Newton's Second Law Newton's Third
taurus [48]

Answer:

Newton's Third Law of Motion

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law of Motion which states that, for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

This ultimately implies that, in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

In this scenario, a ball bounced by a basketball player on the floor bounces back up at her.

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, the statement above simply means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects i.e the ball and floor. The size of the force on the ball equals the size of the force on the floor. These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion.

Hence, the ball bounced by the basketball player on the floor would bounce back in equal magnitude.

A student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression a=a1
AlekseyPX

Explanation:

A student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression :

a=a_1+\dfrac{F}{m}

Where

a_1=3\ m/s^2

F=12\ kg-m/s^2

m = 7 kg

So, the correct step for obtaining a common denominator for the two fractions in the expression in solving for a is (a) and the value of a is :

a=3+\dfrac{12}{7}

a=4.71\ m/s^2

Hence, the correct option is (a).

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then
mash [69]
For this case you must first know the definition of density.
 D = m / v
 where,
 m: mass
 v: volume.
 You can then write the following hypothesis:
 IF you know two physical characteristics of an object then you can determine the density. First weigh the object, THEN measure its volume BECAUSE the density is the quotient between the mass and the volume of an object.
