the electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force
Explanation:
The electric force between two objects is given by
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects
r is the distance between the two objects
As we can see from the formula, the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: so, when the distance between the object increases, the magnitude of the force decreases.
Answer:
The units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.
Explanation:
P² = a³ is the simplified version of Kepler's third law which governs the orbital motion of large bodies that orbit around a star. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the star at the focal point.
Therefore, if you square the year of each planet and divide it by the distance that it is from the star, you will get the same number for all the other planets.
Thus, the units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.
Because the polar regions receive low-angle insolation.
Insolation is the amount of solar radiation received by a given area. The Sun is always low on the horizon. The low Sun angle makes the beam of solar radiation to travel a longer distance from upper troposphere to reach earth's surface as compared to when it is directly overhead. In this case, the radiations are scattered and reflected more by the atmosphere and spread over a larger area. Thus, the intensity of solar radiation is very less at polar regions than near the equatorial region. This is the reason of very cold climates at polar regions.
