At what time of year is the intensity of solar radiation striking each of earth's hemispheres weakest?

1 answer:

5 0

During winter for a given hemisphere, solar radiation reaches the lowest period of its annual cycle due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. As the earth rotates around the sun, this tilt occludes a portion of the energy released by the sun as it diffuses in the atmosphere.

It takes 52,000 Joules to heat a cup of coffee to boiling from room temperature. How long a piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil wo

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

L = 1.11 x $10^{6}$ m, is the length of piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil to make capacitor large enough to hold 52000 J of energy.

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Heat Energy = 52000 J

Dielectric Constant of the plastic Bag = 3.7 = K

Thickness = 2.6 x $10^{5}$ m =d

V = 610 volts

A = width x Length

width = 20 cm = 20 x $10^{-2}$ m

Length = ?

So,

we know that,

U = 1/2 C Δ $v^{2}$

U = 52000 J

C = ?

V = 610 volts'

So,

U = 1/2 C Δ $v^{2}$

52000 J = (0.5) x (C) x ( $610^{2}$ )

C = 0.28 F

And we also know that,

C = $\frac{K*E*A}{d}$

E = 8.85 x $10 ^{-12}$

K = 3.7

A = 0.20 x L

d = 2.6 x $10^{5}$ m

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:

0.28 = $\frac{3.7 * 8.85 .10^{-12} * (0.20 . L) }{2.6 . 10^{5} }$

Solving for L, we get:

L = 1.11 x $10^{6}$ m,

is the length of piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil to make capacitor large enough to hold 52000 J of energy.

The coefficient of the restitution of an object is defined as the ratio of its outgoing to incoming speed when the object collid

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

48.16 %

Explanation:

coefficient of restitution = 0.72

let the incoming speed be = u

let the outgoing speed be = v

kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x $x velocity^{2}$

incoming kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x $x u^{2}$

coefficient of restitution = $\frac{v}{u}$

0.72 = $\frac{v}{u}$

v = 0.72u

therefore the outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x $(0.72u)^{2}$

outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x $0.5184 x u^{2}$

outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5184 (0.5 x m x $x u^{2}$ )

recall that 0.5 x m x $x u^{2}$ is our incoming kinetic energy, therefore

outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5184 x (incoming kinetic energy)

from the above we can see that the outgoing kinetic energy is 51.84 % of the incoming kinetic energy.

The energy lost would be 100 - 51.84 = 48.16 %

The compound ethylene (C2H4) is represented by this diagram. What statement best describes the arrangement of the atoms in an et

Effectus [21]

Answer: The correct answer is two electrons are shared between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom bonded to it, and four electrons are shared between the carbon atoms.

Explanation:

Ethylene is a compound given by the chemical formula $H_2C=CH_2$ .

The bond present between hydrogen and carbon atoms or carbon and carbon atoms are covalent bonds. A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms combining.

A double bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. So 2 pairs of electrons are shared which means in total of 4 electrons are shared.

Bond present between hydrogen and carbon atoms are single bonds. So, a pair of electrons is shared which means that in total of 2 electrons are shared.

Hence, the correct answer is two electrons are shared between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom bonded to it, and four electrons are shared between the carbon atoms.
