Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.

"On a movie set, an alien spacecraft is to be lifted to a height of 32.0 m for use in a scene. The 260.0-kg spacecraft is attach
Lisa [10]

Answer:

<em>The time interval required to lift the spacecraft to this specified height is 123.94 seconds</em>

Explanation:

Height through which the spacecraft is to be lifted = 32.0 m

Mass of the spacecraft = 260.0 kg

Four crew member each pull with a power of 135 W

18.0% of the mechanical energy is lost to friction.

work done in this situation is proportional to the mechanical energy used to move the spacecraft up

work done = (weight of spacecraft) x (the height through which it is lifted)

but the weight of spacecraft = mg

where m is the mass,

and g is acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s

weight of spacecraft = 260 x 9.81 = 2550.6 N

work done on the space craft = weight x height

==> work = 2550.6 x 32 = 81619.2 J

this is equal to the mechanical energy delivered to the system

18.0% of this mechanical energy delivered to the pulley is lost to friction.

this means that

0.18 x 81619.2  = <em>14691.456 J  </em> is lost to friction.

Total useful mechanical energy =  81619.2 J - 14691.456 J = 66927.74<em> J</em>

Total power delivered by the crew to do this work = 135 x 4 = 540 W

But we know tat power is the rate at which work is done i.e

P = \frac{w}{t}

where p is the power

where w is the useful work done

t is the time taken to do this work

imputing values, we'll have

540 = 66927.74/t

t = 66927.74/540

time taken t = <em>123.94 seconds</em>

Question 13 of 20
Dominik [7]

Answer:

B. It has a central nucleus composed of 29 protons and 35 neutrons,

surrounded by an electron cloud containing 29 electrons.

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons are the only subatomic particles with mass, and they are located in the nucleus. If this atom has an atomic number of 29 and is copper, it must have 29 protons (protons define which element is being observed). This means all remaining mass is from neutrons. 64-29 = 35.

Electrons have no mass and orbit the nucleus in the electron cloud. Since this copper atom is neutral (we are not told it has a charge), there must be an equal number of protons and electrons.

The "D) People perceive objects as a whole" statement best describes an abductive reasoning. The abductive reasoning often has incomplete information as the base of its reasoning and the conclusion for this type of reasoning is not absolute. There will always be additional pieces of evidence and factors that could change the conclusion of this reasoning. Therefore<span> D statement is the most suitable answer.</span>

A Neglecting air resistance, a ball projected straight upward so it remains in the air for 10 seconds needs an initial speed of
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

For first half,

We need to calculate the height

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2gh

h =\dfrac{v^2}{2g}....(I)

For second half,

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

h =ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2

h=0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2

t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}

Put the value of h from equation (I)

t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times v^2}{g^2}}

t_{2}=\dfrac{v}{g}

According to question,

t_{1}+t_{2}=10

t_{1}=t_{2}

Put the value of t₁ and t₂

\dfrac{v}{g}+\dfrac{v}{g}=10

\dfrac{2v}{g}=10

v=\dfrac{10\times g}{2}

Here, g = 10

The initial velocity is

v=\dfrac{10\times10}{2}

v=50\ m/s

Hence, The initial velocity is 50 m/s.
