The sun makes so much energy that we are able to see the sun's brightness and feel its heat. Hydrogen fusion occurs in the Sun's core and the gas is heated by the energy that is released above the core. Eventually, the gas becomes less dense and the heat from below turns the gas buoyant

Answer:

Sun is bright because it is closer to the earth and the radiation that  reaches the earth's surface gives out the heat.

Explanation:

The thermonuclear fusion reactions are responsible for the heat and light emitted by any star.

As a result of the fusion reactions that occur in its core, sun's core is very very hot. This heat is radiated outward and after passing through several zones of the sun itself, the surface temperature of the Sun cools to about about 6000 K.

Sun radiates electromagnetic radiation that can travel through space and then penetrate the earth's atmosphere. Ozone layer which is present in the ozonosphere of the earth's atmosphere filters the UV rays coming from the sun. The radiation in the form of heat and light is absorbed by the particles of air in the earth's atmosphere, there by heating the surface.

A large, simple pendulum is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building. If the pendulum is 18.5 m in length, what is
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

     t = 1,144 s

Explanation:

The simple pendulum consists of an inextensible string with a mass at the tip, the angular velocity of this is

     w = √( L / g)

The angular velocity is related to the frequency and period

     w = 2π f

      f = 1 / T

     w = 2π / T

Let's replace

     2π / T = √ (L / g)

     T = 2π √ (g / L)

Let's calculate

     T = 2π √ (9.81 / 18.5)

     T = 4,576 s

The definition of period in the time it takes the ball to come and go to a given point (a revolution) in our case we go from the end to the middle point that is a quarter of the path

     t = T / 4

     t = 4,576 / 4

     t = 1,144 s

What sound signal tells a river lock attendant that you wish to go through the lock?
Hoochie [10]
In order to tell a river lock attendant that you wish to go through the lock, you should <span>sound one prolonged blast followed by one short blast.

You should wait about 400 feet away from the lock and wait for the flashing light signal that allows you to enter.
Also note that </span><span>commercial traffic  always have the first priority in entering the locks.</span>

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

V=15.3 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to use the energy conservation theorem:

U_e+K_i+U_{gi}+W_{friction}=K_f+U_{gf}

the elastic potencial energy is given by:

U_e=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2\\U_e=\frac{1}{2}*1100N/m*(4m)^2\\U_e=8800J

The work is defined as:

W_{friction}=F_f*d*cos(\theta)\\W_{friction}=40N*2.5m*cos(180)\\W_{friction}=-100J

this work is negative because is opposite to the movement.

The gravitational potencial energy at 2.5 m aboves is given by:

U_{gf}=m*g*h\\U_{gf}=60kg*9.8*2.5\\U_{gf}=1470J

the gravitational potential energy at the ground and the kinetic energy at the begining are 0.

8800J+0+0+-100J=\frac{1}{2}*62kg*v^2+1470J\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(8800J-100J-1470J)}{62kg}}\\v=15.3m/s

A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t=2.5s later the student hears assiciated clap of thunder. (please show work)
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

857.5 m

2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

Explanation:

Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s

Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m

Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light

\text{Time taken by light}=\frac{857.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow  \text{Time taken by light}=2.8583\times 10^{-6}

Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds
