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.

580 nm light shines on a double slit

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Angular position of the first minimum is 0.27 degree

Explanation:

As we know by the formula of single slit diffraction pattern

$a sin\theta = m\lambda$

here we have

a = d = 0.000125 m

for m = 1

$\lambda = 580 nm$

now we have

$0.000125 sin\theta = 580 \times 10^{-9}$

$sin\theta = 4.64 \times 10^{-3}$

$\theta = 0.27 degree$

(33%) Problem 3: Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1100 kg and i

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The final velocity of the cars is 8.38 m/s at an angle 39.1° south of west.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first car = 1100 kg

Velocity of first car = 8.5 m/s

Mass of second car = 650 kg

Velocity of second car = 17.5 m/s

Suppose we need to find the final velocity of the cars and direction of the cars.

We need to calculate the velocity of the car in west direction

Using conservation of momentum in west direction

$m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}= (m_{f}+m_{s})v_{x}$

$v_{x}=\dfrac{m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}}{(m_{f}+m_{s})}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{x}=\dfrac{1100\times0+650\times17.5}{1100+650}$

$v_{x}=6.5\ m/s$

We need to calculate the velocity of the car in south direction

Using conservation of momentum in south direction

$m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}= (m_{f}+m_{s})v_{y}$

$v_{y}=\dfrac{m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}}{(m_{f}+m_{s})}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{y}=\dfrac{1100\times8.5+650\times0}{1100+650}$

$v_{y}=5.3\ m/s$

We need to calculate the final velocity of the cars

Using formula of velocity

$v_{eq}=\sqrt{(6.5)^2+(5.3)^2}$

$v_{eq}=8.38\ m/s$

We need to calculate the direction

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{5.3}{6.5}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{5.3}{6.5})$

$\theta=39.1^{\circ}$

Hence, The final velocity of the cars is 8.38 m/s at an angle 39.1° south of west.

A cylindrical can 150 mm in diameter is filled to a depth of 100 mm with a fuel oil. The oil has a mass of 1.56 kg. Calculate it

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Density (φ) = 0,8827 Kg/L

Specific weight (Ws) = 8,65 N/L

Specific gravity (Gs) = 0,8827 (without unit)

Explanation:

The density formula: φ = $\frac{m}{V}$

I know the mass "m", I need to find out the volume of the cylinder (V)

V = π* r²*h

The radius "r" is equal to half the diameter (150mm) = 75mm

Now I can find out the density (φ)

φ = $\frac{1,56Kg}{1,767145L}$ = 0,8827 Kg/L

The specific weight (Ws) is the relationship between the weight of substance (oil) and its volume. We apply the following formula:

Ws = φ*g

(g = gravity = 9,8 m/s²)

Finally, specific gravity (Gs) is the ratio between the density of a substance (oil) "φ(o)" and the density of water "φ(w)" :

Gs = φ(o) / φ(w)

(φ(w) = 1 Kg/L

Hope this can help you !!
