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

1 answer:

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

The driver of a car traveling 110 km/h slams on the brakes so that the car undergoes a constant acceleration, skidding to a comp

Ber [7]

Answer: $-6.80\ ms^{-2}$

Explanation:

We know that the formula for acceleration is given by:

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$ , where v = Final velocity

u= Initial velocity

Given : The driver of a car traveling 110 km/h slams on the brakes so that the car undergoes a constant acceleration.

i.e. u= 110 km/h $=\dfrac{110\times1000}{3600}\approx35.6\ m/s$ [∵ 1 km= 100 meters and 1 hour = 3600 seconds]

v= 0 m/s ( At brake , final velocity becomes 0)

t=4.5 seconds

Substitute all the values in the formula , we get

$a=\dfrac{0-30.56}{4.5}\approx-6.80\ ms^{-2}$

Hence, the average acceleration of the car during braking is $-6.80\ ms^{-2}$ .

suppose you want to determine the surface area of this sugar cube. it has edges that are each 2 cm long. if you cut the cube in

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Half: 6 cm^2 Whole: 12 cm^2

Explanation:

First, we know that the edges of the cube are 2 cm long. So there are 6 faces on a cube. We do 2x6=12 cm^2 as our total surface area. Then it asks for each half. So you would divide it by 2 and get 6 cm^2 as your half.

A uniform cylindrical grindstone has a mass of 10 kg and a radius of 12 cm. (a) What is the rotational kinetic energy of the gri

Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) KE = 888.26J

b) N = 294.5 turns

Explanation:

For the kinetic energy:

$KE = I/2*\omega_o^2$

The inertia is:

$I=m/2*R^2=0.072kg.m^2$

So, the kinetic energy will be:

$KE = 888.26J$

Now, friction force is:

Ff = μ*N = 0.80*5N = 4N

The energy balance would be:

Kf - Ko = Wf where Kf=0; Ko = 888.26J; and Wf is the work done by friction force.

Wf = -Ff*d = -Ff*N*2*π*R where N is the amount of turns it gives.

Replacing these values into the energy balance:

0-888.26=-4*N*2*π*0.12

-888.26=-0.96*π*N

N=294.5 turns

Helen [10]

Answer:

P = 0.25 W

Explanation:

Given that,

The emf of the battry, E = 2 V

The resistance of a bulb, R = 16 ohms

We need to find the power delivered to the bulb. We know that, the formula for the power delivered is given by :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\P=\dfrac{2^2}{16}\\\\=0.25\ W$

So, 0.25 W power is delivered to the bulb.

netineya [11]

The question "<span>In a redox reaction the substance that accepts electrons is said to be?" is a bit vague. By definition, a "redox" or "reduction" reaction is one where classified by a gain of electrons. On the other hand, if it is a loss of electrons, then it is an oxidation reaction.</span>
