How does the heat from sun reach earth

Physics
1 answer:
kakasveta [241]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The sun heats the earth through radiation. Since there is no medium (like the gas in our atmosphere) in space, radiation is the primary way that heat travels in space. When the heat reaches the earth it warms the molecules of the atmosphere, and they warm other molecules and so on.

How does battery generate electric current in a circuit?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

C. It creates negative electric charges and pushes them into the circuit

Explanation:

A battery has three main parts. The Cathode (Positive), the Electrolytes (energy source), and the Anode (negative). The anode takes energy from the electrolytes and creates more electrons. And because subatomic particles with the same charge don't like being in the same place, they move through the circuit to reach the cathode because opposites attract.

I hope this helps!

A ball is released from a tower at a height of 100 meters toward the roof of another tower that is 25 meters high. The horizonta
I am Lyosha [343]
-- During the time the ball is flying from the high roof to the low roof,
it's going to fall (100-25) = 75 meters.
How long does it take an object dropped from rest to fall 75 meters ?

Distance = (1/2) · (gravity) · (time)²

75 m = (4.9 m/s²) · (time)²

Time² = (75 m) / (4.9 m/s²)
Time² = 15.31 sec²
Time = √(15.31 sec²)  =  3.91 seconds 

So the ball has to cover the horizontal distance of 20 meters 
in 3.91 seconds.

Distance = (speed) · (time)

20 m = (speed) · (3.91 sec)

Speed = (20 m) / (3.91 sec)

Speed  =  5.11 m/s

While the change in blank will remain the same during a collision, the force needed to bring an object to a stop can be blank if
Ahat [919]

Explanation :

There are two types of collision i.e. elastic and elastic collision.

  • Elastic collision : In this type of collision, the total momentum and the kinetic energy of the particles remains constant.
  • Inelastic collision : In this type of collision, only the momentum remains constant while there is some loss of kinetic energy occurs.

From Newton's second law,

F = m a

a is the rate of change of velocity.

F=m\dfrac{v}{t}

There is a inverse relation between the force and the time of collision.

The change in <em><u>momentum</u></em> will remain the same during a collision, the force needed to bring an object to a stop can be <em><u>increased</u></em> if the time of the collision is <u><em>decreased</em></u>.
