Answer:

<h2>Radiation</h2>

Explanation:

<h3>Greetings !</h3>

The Sun reaches us by propagating through the vacuum of space. Sunlight reaches the Earth in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. When this energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, both conduction and convection play key roles to scatter it throughout the planet.

Answer: The heat from the sun reaches us through radiation and processes such as conduction and convection helps to scatter that heat on the surface of our planet.

Explanation:

The phenomenon behind the Sun's heat reaching us is radiation. It does this by propagating through the vacuum of space.

The amount of time it takes for the sunlight to reach us on Earth is approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds. When it reaches our planet, conduction, the movement of heat or electricity through a medium or passage, as well as convection, the rising of hotter and less dense material and sinking of colder and more dense/denser material, helps to scatter the heat on Earth's surface.

The thermal energy used by heater in 3 minutes is used to melt wax.Melting point of solid wax is 60.Specific heat of wax is 220j
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

m = 35 g

Explanation:

The specific heat of a material can be calculated by the following formula:

C = \frac{Q}{m}\\

where,

C = Specific Heat of Wax = 220 J/g

Q = Amount of Heat Supplied by the Heater = 7700 J

m = mass of wax melted = ?

Therefore,

220\ J/g = \frac{7700\ J}{m}\\\\m = \frac{7700\ J}{220\ J/g}\\

<u>m = 35 g </u>

The energy flow per unit time per unit area (S) of an electromagnetic wave has an average value of 310 mW/m2. The maximum value
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

5.096*10^-8

Explanation:

Given that

The average value of the electromagnetic wave is 310 mW/m²

To find the maximum value of the magnetic field the wave is closest to, we say

Emax = √Erms

Emax = √[(2 * 0.310 * 3*10^8 * 4π*10^-7)]

Emax = √233.7648

Emax = 15.289

Now, with our value of maximum electromagnetic wave gotten, we divide it by speed of light to get our final answer

15.289 / (3*10^8) = 5.096*10^-8 T

Suffice to say, The maximum value of the magnetic field in the wave is closest to 5.096*10^-8

Kay [80]

Answer:

Part a)

v_f = 4 m/s

Part b)

t = 0.001 s

Part c)

d = 0.815 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that initially the grass hopper is at rest at the ground position

Now the acceleration is given as

a = 4000 m/s^2

distance of the legs that it stretched is given as

s = 2.0 mm

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 0 = 2(4000)(0.002)

v_f = 4 m/s

Part b)

time taken to reach this speed is given as

v_f - v_i = at

4 - 0 = 4000 t

t = 0.001 s

Part c)

as the grass hopper reach the maximum height its final speed would be zero

so we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 4^2 = 2(-9.81) d

d = 0.815 m

Define the terms ‘latent heat of vaporization’ and ‘phase change’ in your own words. What is the commonly accepted value of the
olganol [36]

Answer:

Latent Heat of Vaporization of Nitrogen is 2.7928 KJmol^{-1}

Explanation:

• We have learned that adding thermal energy by heat increases the temperature of a substance.

• But surprisingly, there are situations where adding energy does not change the temperature of a substance at all. Instead, the additional thermal energy acts to loosen bonds between molecules or atoms and causes a phase change.

• Because this energy enters or leaves a system during a phase change without causing a temperature change in the system, it is known as latent heat (latent means hidden).

• Latent heat of vaporization is a physical property of a substance.

• It is defined as the heat required to change one mole of liquid at its boiling point under standard atmospheric pressure. It is expressed as kg/mol or kJ/kg.

• When a material in liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor; the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of vaporization.

• Latent Heat of Vaporization of Nitrogen is 2.7928 KJmol^{-1}
