What degrees in the equator is solar maximum?
Solar maximum can occur up to 42 degrees north of the equator as it did in 1859.
Why the motion of simple pendulum is slow at equator?
A pendulum will swing slowest when closest to the equator. Why is this? The time period, T, of the swing of a pendulum is given by: T=2π√(l/g) where l is the length of the pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity. Because the Earth is spinning, there is a bulge at the equator and the poles are slightly flattened. Hence on the equator the radius to the centre of the earth is greater than the radius at the poles. The equatorial radius is 6378.1km while the polar radius is 6356.8 km The value of g at the Earth's surface relates to the values of the Earth's radius, r, at that point using an inverse square law ie g is proportional to 1/r2 At the North Pole, g is about 9.83m/s2, while at the equator, g is smaller, at only 9.79m/s2 . So the period of a pendulum will be longer (i.e. slowest) at the equator than at the pole
What is the maximum number of degrees away from the equator that the suns direct ray can shine?
roughly 23.5 degrees north or south of the equator
How many degrees does the equator have?
The Equator is the latitude line with a given value of 0-degrees. There Equator runs completely around the Earth. There are 360-longitude lines that intersect the Equator.
What is the maximum altitude of moon at 42 degrees north latitude?
Maximum inclination of moon's orbit to the ecliptic = 5.3°Current inclination of the ecliptic to the celestial equator = 23.4°Moon's maximum declination = 5.3° + 23.4° = + 28.7°Maximum altitude of the celestial equator at 42° north latitude = 90° - 42° = 48°Moon's maximum altitude at 42° north latitude = 48° + 28.7° = 76.7°
Where is maximum value of g?
at the poles
Is there any difference between the value of g at the equator and the poles?
it is greater at poles than equator
Is there gravity at the equator?
we know g equalls GM/R*R. Therefore g is inversly proportional to R spuare. Where R is radius of the planet. The R at the equator is the greatest. Hence the value of g is min at the equator. The value if g increases from the equator to the poles.
What is the value of g being used as a constant and why is this value used?
The value of g depends on latitude because the Earth is wider at the equator than at the poles. g = 9.80612 - 0.025865 cos (2 x latitude) metres/sec/sec It expresses how quickly an object accelerates after being dropped. The formula gives 9.7802 at the equator and 9.8320 at the poles. The weight of a 1 kg mass is g Newtons.
What degrees in the equator is solar maximum?
Solar maximum can occur up to 42 degrees north of the equator as it did in 1859.
Where the gravitational field strength is maximum?
value of acceleration due to gravity is maximum at the surface of earth. So the gravitational field strength. as g'=g(1-d/R) at surface d=R so d=R so g'=g at earth's centre g=0. Its value decrease with decrease or increase in height. as: g'=g(1-2h/R) ......for height h and g'=g(1-d/R) .....for depth d
Is gravitational potential maximum at poles or at equator?
Gravitational potential is maximum at poles.
What is maximum value?
What is maximum value
What will happen to the value of g if the compound pendulum is taken nearer to the centre of earth?
The acceleration of gravity (value of 'g') is maximum on the earth's surface, and it decreases from there in both directions ... up into the air or down into the earth.
What is minimum and maximum values of g?
On Earth:Do you mean acceleration due to gravity?Here is your answer minimum value of g=9.8m/s2maximum value =10m/s2 approximately.Elsewhere:Anything positive and finite is theoretically possible.
When earth stops rotating what is the value of g?
g will increase when rotation is stopped because:- g depend on following thing;:- first on shape of earth second on rotation....(only Equator) not pole third one on going altitude and depth,...........
What is the belt of maximum solar energy input to Earth?
the equator
