Choose the best answer to each of the following. Explain your reasoning.
When it summer in Australia, it is (a) winter in the United States. (b) summer in the United States. (c) spring in the United States.
The season of the United States when it is summer in Australia
Answer to Problem 1QQ
Therefore the answer is Option (a)
Explanation of Solution
In the US, it will be winter whereas, in Australia, it will be summer. The rays of the sun fall directly on the Southern Hemisphere when the South Pole is slanted towards the sun and this results in the warmer longer days in the Southern Hemisphere. As the Northern Hemisphere away from, it will experience winter. Thus, When Australia faces the summer season it is winter in the United States.
Therefore the answer is Option (a)
It is not summer or spring in the United States but it is winterbecause the Northern Hemisphere is slotted awayfrom the sun. Therefore, option (b) and option ( c) will be incorrect.

I already solved part a) 1)Energy Efficiency at Home : Suppose you have two kettles – a plug-in electrickettle and a stovetop kettle. The electric kettle uses electricity from a natural gas fired powerplant, while you boil water in your stovetop kettle on a natural gas burner. a)Based on the following information, which of these kettles demonstrates a higher energy efficiency (i.e., which is more efficient at using energy from fuel to heat water)? Please calculate the efficiencies of each kettle and express answers as percentages. -The natural gas power plant converts chemical energy of the natural gas to electrical energy with 58% efficiency. -High-voltage power lines from the power plant to your house convey electricity with 92% efficiency. -The electric kettle converts electrical energy to thermal energy in the water with 85% efficiency (the other 15% heats up the kettle itself). -The stove…arrow_forward

Recalling that pressure can be expressed as P=F/A,where F = force and A = area, rewrite the ideal gas law in terms of Newton’s Second Law of motion in order to relate kinetic energy to temperature using dimensional analysis. (HINT: keep in mind the definitions of the kinematic variables and .

The method has proven invaluable for providing calendar dates for a range of different materials and many different time periods. Radiocarbon dating, however, is not without its limitations and uncertainties, so it is important for archaeologists to be aware of a range of issues when using the technique. For the second part of this assignment, please answer the questions below. 6. List two kinds of archaeological materials can be dated using the radiocarbon method and two that cannot be dated with radiocarbon. 7. In one or two sentences, explain why radiocarbon ages need to be calibrated into calendrical ages? 8. A radiocarbon date on wood charcoal was obtained from Layer N in the stratigraphic profile above. The date has a radiocarbon age of 5500 BP ± 50 yrs and it calibrates to 4450-4260 cal. BC. Burial W in Layer E was also dated and has a radiocarbon age of 5000 BP ± 30, which…arrow_forward
