Yes its true, because most energy is coming from the Sun. Other sources of energy on Earth are Earth internal energy and cosmic radiation but they infuluence much less the temperature of the surface of the Earth compared to the Sun.

Difference between freefall and weightlessness.​
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Differences between freefall and weightlessness are as follows:

<h3><u>Freefall</u></h3>
  • When a body falls only under the influence of gravity, it is called free fall.
  • Freefall is not possible in absence of gravity.
  • A body falling in a vacuum is an example of free fall.

<h3><u>Weightlessness</u></h3>
  • Weightlessness is a condition at which the apparent weight of body becomes zero.
  • Weightlessness is possible in absence of gravity.
  • A man in a free falling lift is an example of weightlessness.

Hope this helps....

Good luck on your assignment....

Give reason for the following:
Zigmanuir [339]

a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. <u>This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.</u>

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground <u>because of gravitational attraction force of earth</u>.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes <u>because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.</u>

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide <u>because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.</u>

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits <u>so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.</u>

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base <u>so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding</u>.

A mass of 8 kg moves at a rate of 14.3 m/sec. what is the KE developed by the mass?
Lynna [10]
Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of an object. It's a scalar quantity, there is no direction associated with KE and it has no components. KE =  \frac{mv ^{2} }{2} =  \frac{8 *14.3 ^{2} }{2} = 4 *204.49 = 817.96J. Therefore Kinetic energy is 817.96J.

(a) If a long rope is hung from a ceiling and waves are sent. up the rope from its lower end, why does the speed of the waves ch
vazorg [7]

My response to question (a) and (b) is that all of the element of the rope need to  aid or support the weight of the rope and as such, the tension will tend to increase along with height.

Note that It increases linearly, if the rope is one that do not stretch. So, the wave speed v= √ T/μ   increases with height.

<h3>How does tension affect the speed of a wave in a rope?</h3>

The Increase of the tension placed on a string is one that tends to increases the speed of a wave, which in turn also increases the frequency of any given length.

Therefore,  My response to question (a) and (b) is that all of the element of the rope need to  aid or support the weight of the rope and as such, the tension will tend to increase along with height.  Note that It increases linearly, if the rope is one that do not stretch. So, the wave speed v= √ T/μ   increases with height.
