How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?

Physics

topjm [15]3 years ago
5 0
The sun's energy influences climate in various ways. For example the latitudes at the equator receive more energy from the sun and therefore have warmer temperatures, On the other hand the sun's energy influences precipitation in a climate by driving the water cycle which determines precipitation.The sun is what makes the water cycle take place. That is the sun provides energy or heat to the earth; the heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds ( precipitation), that in turn give us rain

Gold has a density of 19300 kg/m³. Calculate the mass of 0.02 m³ of gold in kilograms.
hjlf

Answer:

Mass = 386 kg

Explanation:

<u><em>Density = Mass / Volume</em></u>

Mass = Density × Volume

Where D = 19300 kg/m³ , V = 0.02 m³

<em>Putting the given in the above formula</em>

Mass = 19300 × 0.02

Mass = 386 kg

A voltage V is applied to the primary coil of a step-up transformer with a 3:1 ratio of turns between its primary and secondary
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

Let N_p\ and\ N_s are the number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

\dfrac{N_p}{N_s}=\dfrac{1}{3}

A resistor R connected to the secondary dissipates a power P_s=100\ W

For a transformer, \dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}

V_s=(\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})V_p

V_s=3V_p...............(1)

The power dissipated through the secondary coil is :

P_s=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}

100\ W=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}

V_p^2=\dfrac{100R}{9}.............(2)

Let N_p'\ and\ N_s' are the new number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

\dfrac{N_p'}{N_s'}=\dfrac{1}{24}

New voltage is :

V_s'=(\dfrac{N_s'}{N_p'})V_p'

V_s'=24V_p...............(3)

So, new power dissipated is P_s'

P_s'=\dfrac{V_s'^2}{R}

P_s'=\dfrac{(24V_p)^2}{R}

P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(V_p)^2}{R}

P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(\dfrac{100R}{9})}{R}

P_s'=6400\ Watts

So, the new power dissipated by the same resistor is 6400 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

3. What is the potential energy of a 8 Newton book sitting on a shelf that is 12 meters high?​
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

P = 96 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the book, W = mg = 8 N

It is placed at a height of 12 m

We need to find the potential energy of the book. The potential energy of an object is given by the formula as follows :

E = mgh

mg = Weight

E=8\ N\times 12\ m\\E=96\ J

So, the potential energy of the book is 96 J.

Gravitational attraction depends on the mass of the objects as well as their distance. The gravitational force between objects i
shepuryov [24]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction will be the same</h2>

According to the law of universal gravitation, which is a classical physical law that describes the gravitational interaction between different bodies with mass:

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}    (1)

Where:

F is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

G is the universal gravitation constant.

m_{1} and m_{2} are the masses of both bodies.

r is the distance between both bodies

Now, if we double both masses and the distance also doubles, this means:

m_{1} and m_{2} will be now 2m_{1} and 2m_{2}

r will be now 2r

Let's rewrite the equation (1) with this new values:

F=G\frac{(2m_{1})(2m_{2})}{(2r)^2}    (2)

Solving and simplifying:

F=4G\frac{m_{1}2m_{2}}{4r^2}    

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}     (3)

As we can see, equation (3) is the same as equation (1).

So, if the masses both double and the distance also doubles the <u>Gravitational attraction between both masses will remain the same.</u>
