Which of the following is true about radiation from the sun?

1 answer:

6 0

This isn't a math question and should be in the science section. However, I will still answer the question. The answer is choice B.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a further breakdown

A. False. The radiation or energy from the sun can travel through air or else you wouldn't feel the sun's rays. Also, plant life wouldn't be alive without that energy going through the air.

B. True. The rays travel through a vacuum of space. If they couldn't travel through space, then the same problem comes up as in choice A: the issue of not feeling the sun's rays.

C. False. They rays have different frequencies. Because there are many wavelengths (see choice D below), this means there are different frequencies. Recall that f = 1/w where f is the frequency and w is the wavelength.

D. False. The rays are made of different wavelengths. The visible light portion is what we can see, though there is a lot more to the electromagnetic spectrum (eg: ultraviolet light).

So once again, the answer is choice B

Maci and I are making a small kite. Two sides are 10". Two sides are 5". The shorter diagonal is 6". Round all your answers to t

Art [367]

Answer:

A. 4".

B. Approximately 9.54".

C. Approximately 13.54".

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let x be the distance from the peak of the kite to the intersection of the diagonals and y be the distance from the peak of the kite to the intersection of the diagonals.

We have been given that two sides of a kite are 10 inches and two sides are 5 inches. The shorter diagonal is 6 inches.

A. Since we know that the diagonals of a kite are perpendicular and one diagonal (the main diagonal) is the perpendicular bisector of the shorter diagonal.

We can see from our attachment that point O is the intersection of both diagonals. In triangle AOD the side length AD will be hypotenuse and side length DO will be one leg.

We can find the value of x using Pythagorean theorem as:

$(AO)^2=(AD)^2-(DO)^2$

$x^{2}=5^2-3^2$

$x^{2}=25-9$

$x^{2}=16$

Upon taking square root of both sides of our equation we will get,

$x=\sqrt{16}$

$x=\pm 4$

Since distance can not be negative, therefore, the distance from the peak of the kite to the intersection of the diagonals is 4 inches.

B. We can see from our attachment that point O is the intersection of both diagonals. In triangle DOC the side length DC will be hypotenuse and side length DO will be one leg.

We can find the value of y using Pythagorean theorem as:

$(OC)^2=(DC)^2-(DO)^2$

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

$y^2=10^2-3^2$

$y^2=100-9$

$y^2=91$

Upon taking square root of both sides of our equation we will get,

$y=\sqrt{91}$

$y\pm 9.539392$

$y\pm\approx 9.54$

Since distance can not be negative, therefore, the distance from intersection of the diagonals to the top of the tail is approximately 9.54 inches.

C. We can see from our diagram that the length of longer diagram will be the sum of x and y.

$\text{The length of the longer diagonal}=x+y$

$\text{The length of the longer diagonal}=4+9.54$

$\text{The length of the longer diagonal}=13.54$

Therefore, the length of longer diagonal is approximately 13.54 inches.

Harper is knitting a scarf for her cousin's birthday. She plans to knit every night, making the scarf 5 centimeters longer each

MissTica

The equation that shows the relationship between x and y is:

y = 5x

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y, y, x are variables.

Let x represent the number of nights knitting and y represent the length of the scarf.

The equation that shows the relationship between x and y is:

y = 5x

Determine the intercepts of the line. y-6= 4( + 5) y-intercept: z-intercept

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

(0, 26)
(-6.5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn the equation into slope-intercept form [ y = mx + b ].

y - 6 = 4(x + 5)

y - 6 = 4x + 20

y = 4x + 26

We know that b = y-intercept for the y-intercept is 26.

Substitute 0 for y to find the x intercept.

0 = 4x + 26

-26 = 4x

-6.5 = x

Best of Luck!

mr. morris has a class of 14 students. he can spend $24 on each student to buy math supplies for the year. he first buys all the

Natali [406]

Hello!

First of all let's divide and find how much each calculator cost.

95.2/14=$6.80

Now we will subtract from 24.

24-6.8= 17.2

Mr. Morris has $17.2 left to spend on each student.

I hope this helps!
