The intensity of sunlight falling on the earth is about 1.4 kw/m2 (before any gets absorbed by our atmosphere). at what rate doe

s the sun emit light energy? (the earth-sun distance = 1.5 × 108 km and the earth's radius = 6.4 × 103 km.)

The area of the Earth (Ae) that is irradiated by is given by:

Ae = 4πRe^2, where Re = Distance from Sun to Earth
Substituting;
Ae = 4π*(1.5*10^8*1000)^2 = 2.827*10^23 m^2

On the Earth, insolation (We) = Psun/Ae

Therefore,
Psun (Rate at which sun emits energy) = We*Ae = 1.4*2.827*10^23 = 3.958*10^23 kW = 3.958*10^26 W

Which describes a condition of the neritic zone?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

So frigid temps I think .

Explanation:

The neritic zone is a shallow zone of water. It is sunlit and it receives ample solar insolation all year round. The salinity of this zone is very stable. This makes for organism to thrive. The neritic zone is home to diverse aquatic life.

9. Captain America is chasing Red Skull. He plans to throw his shield to knock down Red Skull but needs to know how fast Red Sku
Sedaia [141]

Red Skull's relative velocity to Captain America, towards the left front of the

truck is approximately <u>33.23 m/s</u> in a direction from the North of

approximately <u>9.18°</u>.

Reasons:

Assumptions;

Taking the north direction as positive.

The activity takes place on the trucks.

The trucks are moving towards each other.

Solution:

Vector form of net speed of Red Skull, is given as follows;

  • v₁ = -(\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × 3.5)·i + (\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × 3.5 + 12.5)·j

Vector form of the net speed of Captain America is given as follows;

  • v₂ =  (\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × 4.0)·i - (\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × 4.0 + 15)·j

Relative velocity, v₁₂ = v₁ - v₂

∴ v₁₂ = (-(\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × 3.5) - (\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × 4.0))·i + ((\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × 3.5 + 12.5) + (\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × 4.0 + 15))·j

  • v₁₂ = -\frac{ 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}·i + \frac{ 110 + 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}·j

Red Skull's velocity relative to Captain America,  v₁₂ = -\frac{ 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}·i + \frac{ 110 + 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}·j

  • v₁₂ ≈ -5.3·i + 32.8·j

Therefore;

  • Red Skull appears to be moving West at <u>5.3 m/s</u> and North at <u>32.8 m/s</u>

  • The direction is arctan \left(\frac{32.8}{-5.3} \right) \approx -80.2^{\circ}

Therefore;

  • Red Skull appear to be moving at 90° - 80.2° ≈ 9.18° towards the left front end of the truck moving North

The magnitude of the velocity, |v₁₂|, is given as follows;

  • |v_{12}| = \sqrt{\left(-\frac{ 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{ 110 + 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}\right)^2} = \dfrac{ 5 \cdot \sqrt{130+33 \cdot\sqrt{2} } }{2} \approx 33.23·

The magnitude of Red Skull's velocity relative to Captain America is,

therefore;

|v₁₂| ≈ <u>33.23 m/s</u>

Unlike an observational study, an experiment can prove:
Zinaida [17]

A. Cause and effect.

Explanation:

An experiment can prove cause and effect in a study unlike observational studies.

  • Observational studies is a non-experimental system of investigation.
  • It helps to identify the causes(independent variable) and the effect(dependent variables).
  • In observational studies, the variables cannot be controlled and so it is difficult to prove the cause and effect.
  • An experiment can prove cause and effect because the parameters are tested and can be controlled.
