The energy that warms earth's surface comes primarily in the form of?

Answer:

It comes in the form of electromagnetic radiation:

One EarthScientist wrote: "The ozone layer at altitudes of 12 to 19 miles up in the lower atmosphere, absorbs very energetic solar ultraviolet radiation, thereby protecting life on Earth from this very "hot" DNA-destroying radiation. When the concentration of ozone is reduced, more ultraviolet radiation is observed to reach the Earth's surface, increasing the risk of sunburn and skin cancer. There is no disagreement among climate scientists about this, but I went one step further by deducing that this increased influx of "super-hot" ultraviolet radiation also actually warms the Earth."  -   Peter Langdon Ward

Answer:

total time = 65 seconds

total distance = 1554 meters

Explanation:

kinematic equation:

final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration multiplied by time

v_1 = v_0 + at

28 m/s = 0 m/s + 2 m/s^2 (t)

t = 14 seconds

a) total time = 14 + 46 + 5 = 65 seconds

b) must solve for total distance and divide it by time.

d_1 = v_0t + 1/2 a * t^2

d_1 = 0 + 0.5(2) * 14^2

d_1 = 196 meters

d2 = vt

d2 = 28 *46

d2  = 1288 meters

v_1 = v_o + at

0 = 28 + a(5)

- 28/5 = a

a = - 5.6 m/s^2

d_3 = v_0t + 1/2 a * t^2

d_3 = 28 (5) - 0.5(5.6)*5^2

d_3 = 70 meters

total distance = d1 + d2 + d3 = 196 + 1288 + 70 = 1554 meters

The magnetic field in a plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave with wavelength λ = 598 nm, propagating in a vacuum in the z-di
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

For this given plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave with wavelength λ=598 nm, the wavenumber is k=0,0105\ x\ 10^{-9}\ m^{-1} .

Explanation:

For a plane electromagnetic wave we have that the electrical and magnetic field are:

E(r,t)=E_{0}\ cos ( wt-kr)\\\ B(r,t)=B_{0}\ cos(wt-kr)

In this case we have the data for the magnetic field. We are told that the magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave with wavelength λ=598 nm, propagating in a vacuum in the z direction (\hat k) is described by

         B=8.7\ x\ 10^{-6}\ T sin(kz-wt) (\hat i+\hat j)

(\hat i,\hat j, \hat k are the unit vectors in the x,y,z directions respectively)

The wavenumber k is a measure of the spatial frequency of the wave, is defined as the number of radians per unit distance:

          k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}

where λ is the wavelength

So we get that

k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \rightarrow k=\frac{2\pi}{598 nm}  \rightarrow k=0,0105\ x\ 10^{9}\ m^{-1}

The wavenumber is

            k=0,0105\ x\ 10^{9}\ m^{-1} .

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

<h2>9.3kN</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of bullet= 0.02kg

speed v=700m/s

time taken =1.5ms= 0.0015 seconds

Step two:

we know that from the first law

F=ma-----1  first law of motion

also, we know that

a=v/t----2

put a=v/t in equation 1 we have

F=mv/t

Step three:

substitute our given data to find force

F=0.02*700/0.0015

F=14/0.0015

F=9333.33N

F=9.3kN

<u>The average force exerted is 9.3kN</u>

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

A) mr = 100 kg

B) Fr = 210N

C) Ft = -199.5N

Explanation:

By conservation of the momentum:

mt*Vo = (mr + mt) * Vf  Solving for mr:

mr = mt*Vo / Vf - mt = 100 kg

The average force on the receiver:

mr *(Vf - 0) = Fr * Δt    Solving for Fr:

Fr = 210 N

The average force on the tackler:

mt * (Vf - Vo) = Ft * Δt    Solving for Ft:

Ft = -199.5 N
