Explain why we observe the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere.
Summer - Earth is titled towards the Sun and receives direct sunlight
Winter - Earth is tilted away from Sun and energy is dispersed over a larger area.
Find the voltage and current going through each resistor in the following circuit.
Most of Ontario's energy is generated from which type of non-renewable energy source?
Nuclear energy
Explain the following picture and how it occurs.
Blood moon - occurs during a lunar eclipse, Earth block the moon from the Sun's rays
Is Star A moving towards or away from us? Is Star B moving towards or away from us?
Star A is moving away from us because it is red-shifted
Star B is moving towards us because it is blue-shifted
A central air-conditioner uses 3500W of electricity. If electricity costs $0.087/ kW*h. Calculate how much it would cost to operate the air-conditioner 24 hours a day for 4 months (120 days).
$876.96
Which of the following has less resistance?
R2
Find the voltage and current going through each resistor in the following circuit.
Rank the following stars from brightest to dimmest as viewed from Earth.
Canopus > Arcturus > Rigel > Hadar > Gacrux
The TRAPPIST-1 system of exoplanets is 39.46 lightyears from earth. If the speed of a space craft is 265 000 km/h, how many years would it take to travel to these exoplanets?
160 000 years
If there is a full moon on August 26, predict the dates of the next:
- Third Quarter
- New Moon
- First Quarter
- Full Moon
Third Quarter = Sept 2
New Moon = Sept 9
First Quarter = Sept 16
Full Moon = Sept 24
List and describe the four factors that affect resistance.
Type of material, cross-sectional area, length, temperature
Distinguish the following:
Comet
Asteroid
Meteoroid
Comet – large chunks of ice, dust and rock; Asteroid – rock and metal found between Mars and Jupiter; Meteoroid – rock and metal, smaller than asteroid
Draw a parallel circuit that is powered by a 6V battery hooked up to two lamps and a open switch that controls the entire circuit. Connect an ammeter to the first lamp and a voltmeter to the second lamp.
