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.

What is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?
Art [367]

CORRECT ANSWER:

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The complete question from book is

According to Figure 9.6, what is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

b- Signaling molecules that bind to cell-surface receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the cytoplasm; signaling molecules that bind to intracellular receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the nucleus.

c- Cell-surface receptors bind to specific signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind any signaling molecule.

d- Cell-surface receptors typically bind to signaling molecules that are smaller than those bound by intracellular receptors.

e- None of the other answer options is correct.

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

25.13 cm

Explanation:

Mrs. Lynn's art class is making pencil holders out of soup cans

These soup cans are definitely in cylindrical forms.

Each student is first covering a can with felt.

A felt is a type of material that is used for covering other objects. Here a felt is used to cover soup cans.

So if the diameter of the bottom of the can is 8 cm (i.e d = 8cm)

What will the circumference of the piece of felt need to be in order to cover the bottom of the can?

The felt will also take the circumference of a cylinder; and which is given by the expression

C = 2 πr

since diameter (d) = 8 cm

radius (r) = \frac{d}{2}

r = \frac{8}{2}

r = 4 cm

C = 2 × π × 4 cm

C = 2 × 3.142 × 4 cm

C = 25.13 cm

∴ the circumference of the piece of felt need to be 25.13 cm in order to cover the bottom of the can.

A 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

\eta = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW

Waste of power

2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W

Number of homes would be given by

n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647

How much heat will be needed to warm 187 grams of water from 10 0C to 90 0C?
kvv77 [185]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Here, you are looking for the amount of heat put in for water, at a mass of 187 grams, to change by 80 degrees.

The equation commonly accepted to find the answer to questions like these is the specific heat formula.

The equation is Q = mc∆T, where Q is the amount of energy put in to raise the temperature by a certain amount, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the amount of temperature change.

The information given:

m = 187 grams

c = specific heat capacity of water, or in this case 1 calorie, or 4.184 joules (which is what we will be using)

ΔT = 80 degrees

Now just plug everything in to solve.

Q = 187 * 4.184 * 80

Q = 62592.64

So you have your answer: 62592.64 joules.

Hope this helped!
