The difference between a solid and a gas is that the particles are more conjoined together in a solid, when in a gas the particles are more spread out.
Answer:
The maximum height the pumpkin reaches occurs at 62.5 horizontal meters from its launching spot.
Explanation:
Notice that we are given the actual trajectory equation:
which corresponds to a curve represented by a parabola.
We can find the maximum of this parabola with arms pointing down requesting the derivative (slope of the tangent line to the curve) to be zero :
The planetary temperature energy balance is obtained by radiating back the absorbed radiation energy from outer-space, by the planet and thus acquiring thermal equilibrium.
What is the process of attaining thermal equilibrium by Earth?
The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the more the temperature a planet has, the more it will radiate out to reach thermal equilibrium.
We know that outer space contains large masses of radiative energy freely distributed in its vast expanse. A small fraction of this energy is absorbed by the Earth through the atmosphere, surface land, clouds etc.
Now, radiative balance is achieved when a planet's surface continuously warms up until it reaches its peak at which point the same amount of absorbed energy can then be radiated back to space. The relative amount of energy radiated back by a planet is dependent upon the size of the planet.
A colder planet relatively absorbs lower amount of radiation energy from space. In some time, as the planet heats up enough, the energy is radiated back to the space attaining thermal equilibrium.
