In what ways is the sun the earths energizer

1 answer:

5 0

All sources of energy on the planet (excluding nuclear reactions) are ultimately attributable to the sun. 'Fossil fuels' are derived from what once were living organisms, and all sources of food begin with primary producers (plants and algae which utilize photosynthesis).

A car starts to move from rest and covers a distance of 360m in one minute. Calculate the acceleration of the car.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

<h2>The acceleration of car is 0.2 ms⁻²</h2>

Explanation:

When the car moves , the distance covered is calculated by the relation

S = u t + $\frac{1}{2}$ a t²

In this question u = 0 , because car was at rest initially

Thus S = $\frac{1}{2}$ a t²

here S is displacement and a is the acceleration of car

Therefore 360 = $\frac{1}{2}$ a ( 60 )²

Because time taken is one minute or 60 seconds

Therefore a = $\frac{360x2}{3600}$

or a = 0.2 m s⁻²

A volleyball player’s hand applies a 39 N force while in contact with a volleyball for 2 seconds. What is the impulse on the bal

nikklg [1K]

Given:
F = 39 N, the force applied
t = 2 s, the time interval in which the force is applied.

By definition, the impulse is
$I = \int_{0}^{2} F(t) dt = \int _{0}^{2} 39dt = 39*2=78 \, N-s$

Answer: 78 N-s

Water enters a typical garden hose of diameter 0.016 m with a velocity of 3 m/s. Calculate the exit velocity of water from the g

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

v₂ = 306.12 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the volume flow rate of the water or any in-compressible liquid remains constant throughout motion. Therefore, from continuity equation, we know that:

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where,

A₁ = Area of entrance pipe = πd₁²/4 = π(0.016 m)²/4 = 0.0002 m²

v₁ = entrance velocity = 3 m/s

A₂ = Area of nozzle = πd₂²/4 = π(0.005 m)²/4 = 0.0000196 m²

v₂ = exit velocity = ?

Therefore,

(0.0002 m²)(3 m/s) = (0.0000196 m²)v₂

v₂ = (0.006 m³/s)/(0.0000196 m²)

A 73.9 kg weight-watcher wishes to climb a

Tresset [83]

The height to which the weight-watcher must climb to work off the equivalent 991 (food) Calories is 0.59 Km

<h3>How to determine the energy. </h3>

1 food calorie = 103 calories

Therefore,

991 food calories = 991 × 103

991 food calories = 102073 calories

Multiply by 4.2 to express in joule (J)

991 food calories = 102073 × 4.2

991 food calories = 428706.6 J

<h3>How to determine the height </h3>

Energy (E) = 428706.6 J
Mass (m) = 73.9 kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

E = mgh

Divide both side by mg

h = E / mg

h = 428706.6 / (73.9 × 9.8)

h = 591.95 m

Divide by 1000 to express in km

h = 591.95 / 1000

h = 0.59 Km

As a space shuttle moves through the dilute ionized gas of Earth's ionosphere, the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -

postnew [5]

Answer:

-2.3 × 10^-9 Coulombs(C).

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or information or parameters that is going to help us to solve the problem effectively and efficiently;

=> " the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -1.4 V during one revolution. "

=> " Assuming the shuttle is a conducting sphere of radius 15 m".

So, in order to estimate the value for the charge we will be making use of the equation below:

Charge, C =( radius × voltage or potential difference) ÷ Coulomb's law constant.

Note that the value of Coulomb's law constant = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2.

So, charge = { 15 × (- 1.4)} / 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2.

= -2.3 × 10^-9 Coulombs(C).
