When the earth in its translation movement has the earth's axis is further from the sun and the energy per unit area is minimal, we have the winter season

The translation is the movement of the earth around the Sun, this movement establishes the duration of the year, also the earth's axis is inclined about 23.5º in relation to the orbit.

A consequence of this inclination of the Earth's axis is that the solar rays reach the surface of the planet with different inclinations, when they arrive more perpendicularly the energy deposited by the surface unit is greater and therefore the temperature increases, this period is called Summer.

When the rays arrive with the greater inclination, the energy deposited per unit area is minimal, which is why the temperature decreases, this period is called Winter.

In the periods when the axis is almost vertical we have an average absorption of energy, these two periods are called Spring and Autumn.

In conclusion, the winter season occurs when the terrestrial axis is furthest from the sun and the energy per unit of area is minimal.

A 145-g baseball is thrown so that it acquires a speed of 25 m/s. What was the net work done on the ball to make it reach this s

inysia [295]

When the ball has left your hand and is flying on its own, its kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

KE = (1/2) (0.145 kg) (25 m/s)²

KE = (0.0725 kg) (625 m²/s²)

KE = 45.3 Joules

If the baseball doesn't have rocket engines on it, or a hamster inside running on a treadmill that turns a propeller on the outside, then there's only one other place where that kinetic energy could come from: It MUST have come from the hand that threw the ball. The hand would have needed to do 45.3 J of work on the ball before releasing it.

A hot air balloon must be designed to support a basket, cords, and one person for a total payload weight of 1300 N plus the addi

RSB [31]

Answer:

r = 4.44 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the Archimedes principle, which states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the dislodged fluid

B = ρ g V

Now let's use Newton's equilibrium relationship

B - W = 0

B = W

The weight of the system is the weight of the man and his accessories (W₁) plus the material weight of the ball (W)

σ = W / A

W = σ A

The area of a sphere is

A = 4π r²

W = W₁ + σ 4π r²

The volume of a sphere is

V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

ρ g 4/3 π r³ = W₁ + σ 4π r²

If we use the ideal gas equation

P V = n RT

P = ρ RT

ρ = P / RT

P / RT g 4/3 π r³ - σ 4 π r² = W₁

r² 4π (P/3RT r - σ) = W₁

Let's replace the values

r² 4π (1.01 10⁵ / (3 8.314 (70 + 273)) r - 0.060) = 13000

r² (11.81 r -0.060) = 13000 / 4pi

r² (11.81 r - 0.060) = 1034.51

As the independent term is very small we can despise it, to find the solution

r = 4.44 m

A golfer hits a golf ball at an angle of 25.0Â° to the ground. if the golf ball covers a horizontal distance of 301.5 m, what is

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

Explanation:

Projectile motion has two types of motion Horizontal and Vertical motion.

Vertical motion:

We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Considering upward vertical motion of projectile.

In this case, Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = -g $m/s^2$ and final velocity = 0 m/s.

0 = u sin θ - gt

t = u sin θ/g

Total time for vertical motion is two times time taken for upward vertical motion of projectile.

So total travel time of projectile = 2u sin θ/g

Horizontal motion:

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this case Initial velocity = horizontal component of velocity = u cos θ, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ and time taken = 2u sin θ /g

So range of projectile, $R=ucos\theta*\frac{2u sin\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}$

Vertical motion (Maximum height reached, H) :

We have equation of motion, $v^2=u^2+2as$ , where u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, s is the displacement and a is the acceleration.

Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = -g, final velocity = 0 m/s at maximum height H

$0^2=(usin\theta) ^2-2gH\\ \\ H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

In the give problem we have R = 301.5 m, θ = 25° we need to find H.

So $\frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}=301.5\\ \\ \frac{u^2sin(2*25)}{g}=301.5\\ \\ u^2=393.58g$

Now we have $H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{393.58*g*sin^2 25}{2g}=35.15m$

So maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

Derive an expression for the gravitational potential energy of a system consisting of Earth and a brick of mass m placed at Eart

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of a system is -3/2 (GmE)(m)/RE

Explanation:

Given

mE = Mass of Earth

RE = Radius of Earth

G = Gravitational Constant

Let p = The mass density of the earth is

p = M/(4/3πRE³)

p = 3M/4πRE³

Taking for instance,a very thin spherical shell in the earth;

Let r = radius

dr = thickness

Its volume is given by;

dV = 4πr²dr

Since mass = density* volume;

It's mass would be

dm = p * 4πr²dr

The gravitational potential at the center due would equal;

dV = -Gdm/r

Substitute (p * 4πr²dr) for dm

dV = -G(p * 4πr²dr)/r

dV = -G(p * 4πrdr)

The gravitational potential at the center of the earth would equal;

V = ∫dV

V = ∫ -G(p * 4πrdr) {RE,0}

V = -4πGp∫rdr {RE,0}

V = -4πGp (r²/2) {RE,0}

V = -4πGp{RE²/2)

V = -4Gπ * 3M/4πRE³ * RE²/2

V = -3/2 GmE/RE

The gravitational potential energy of the system of the earth and the brick at the center equals

U = Vm

U = -3/2 GmE/RE * m

U = -3/2 (GmE)(m)/RE

Which letter correctly identifies the part of the hydrologic cycle that is most directly affected by impervious building materia

masha68 [24]

Infiltration

Explanation:

The component of the hydrologic cycle affected by impervious building such as concrete and asphalt is infiltration.

Water infiltration is a major component of the hydrologic cycle.
Concretes and other materials can prevent water from going down into the earth.
This affects the ground water system in place.
It leads to increase in surface run off and might cause inundation of an area.
Infiltration is a very important component of water cycle.
It takes water to plant root and recharges groundwater systems.
Impervious structures takes this capability away.
