Answer: some of the energy are shielded away by the ozone layer,

The rest warm the earth

Explanation:

Not all energy from the sun reaches the earth, some of the energy are shielded away by the ozone layer while the rest energy warm the earth

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The latent heat of fusion of water is 334.88 Joules per gram of water.

Explanation:

Let the latent heat of ice be 'x' J/g

1) Thus heat absorbed by 100 gram of ice to get converted into water equals

Q_1=100\times x

2) heat energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 25 degree Celsius equals

Q_2=100\times 4.186\times 11=4604.6Joules

Thus total energy needed equals Q_1+Q_2=100x+4604.6

3) Heat energy released by the decrease in the temperature of water from 25 to 11 degree Celsius is

Q_3=650\times 4.186\times (25-11)\\\\Q_{3}=38092.6Joules

Now by conservation of energy we have

Q_1+Q_2=Q_3\\\\100x+4604.6=38092.6\\\\\therefore x=\frac{38092.6-4604.6}{100}=334.88J/g

What is the relationship between distance and sound wave return time?
nekit [7.7K]
The time for the echo to return is directly proportional to the distance. vw = fλ. In a given medium under fixed conditions, vw is constant, so that there is a relationship between f and λ; the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.

1500 kg wrecking ball traveling at a speed of 3.5 m/s hits a wall that does not crumble but is pushed back 75 cm. If the wreckin
Rudiy27

Answer:

The size of the force that pushes the wall is 12,250 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the wrecking ball, m = 1500 kg

speed of the wrecking ball, v = 3.5 m/s

distance the ball moved the wall, d = 75 cm = 0.75 m

Apply the principle of work-energy theorem;

Kinetic energy of the wrecking ball = work done by the ball on the wall

¹/₂mv² = F x d

where;

F is the size of the force that pushes the wall

¹/₂mv² = F x d

¹/₂ x 1500 x 3.5² = F x 0.75

9187.5 = 0.75F

F = 9187.5 / 0.75

F = 12,250 N

Therefore, the size of the force that pushes the wall is 12,250 N.

Two sources emit beams of light of wavelength 550 nm. The light from source A has an intensity of 10 μW/m2, and the light from s
alexira [117]

Answer:

<em>A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Explanation:

If we have two waves with the same wavelength, then their intensity is proportional to their power, or the energy per unit time.

We also know that the amount of photon present in an electromagnetic beam is proportional to the energy of the beam, hence the amount of beam per second is proportional to the power.

With these two facts, we can say that the intensity is a measure of the amount of photon per second in an electromagnetic beam. So we can say that <em>beam B carries twice as more power than beam A, or Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>
