How changes in solar position influence the intensity of radiation on a horizontal surface?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Changes in solar position influence the intensity of radiation on a horizontal surface because Energy concentration is greatly affected by changes in solar position. Energy intensity is greater when solar position is high. This concentrates more energy per unit area.

What determines the intensity of solar radiation?

The angle of the sun determines solar irradiance. The greater the angle, the lower the solar intensity. The lower the angle of the sun, the larger amount of ozone the light has to pass through.

What affects the intensity of solar energy?

The main parameters affecting the intensity of solar radiation are the zenith angle zeta of the sun, the water vapor content w of the atmosphere, and Schupp's turbidity coefficient B.

What is the de Broglie wavelength for a proton with energy 50 keV? Due to the limitations of Canvas, please give the wavelength
ad-work [718]

Answer:

1.2826 x 10^-13 m

Explanation:

\lambda  = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m K}}

Here, k be the kinetic energy and m be the mass

K = 50 KeV = 50 x 1.6 x 10^-16 J = 80 x 10^-16 J

m = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg

\lambda  = \frac{6.63 \times  10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 80\times 10^{-16}}}

λ = 1.2826 x 10^-13 m

What was the major shortcoming of rutherford’s model of the atom?
lisabon 2012 [21]

The major shortcoming of Rutherford's model was that it was incomplete. It did not explain how the atom's negatively charged electrons are distrubuted in the space surronding its positively charged nucleus. A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space

A tangent line drawn on a velocity-time graph has a rise of 19 m/s and a run of 4.0 m/s. How large is the acceleration? What typ
klemol [59]

Answer:

Acceleration = 4.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Change in velocity = 19 m/s

Change in time = 4 s

Find:

Acceleration

Computation:

Acceleration = Change in velocity / Change in time

Acceleration = 19/4

Acceleration = 4.8 m/s²

Positive acceleration
