The sun continuously radiates energy into space in all directions. Some of the sun's energy is intercepted by the Earth. The ave

rage temperature of the surface of the Earth remains a little above 300 k. Why doesn't the Earth's temperature rise as it intercepts the sun's energy?
A. The Earth reflects the sun's light.

B. The Earth radiates an amount of energy into space equal to the amount it receives.

C. The energy only raises the temperature of the upper atmosphere and never reaches the surface.

D. The thermal conductivity of the Earth is low.

E. The heat is carried away from the Earth by convection currents.

B. The Earth radiates an amount of energy into space equal to the amount it receives.

Part of the solar energy is reflected by the Earth into space, this is known as albedo. The other part of the energy radiated by the Earth in the form of infrared radiation, is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, which cause most of this infrared radiation to be emitted into space. Therefore, the net flow of energy is zero.

A ball of mass m and weight mg is held at rest by two strings. One string makes an angle θ with the vertical. The other is horiz
malfutka [58]

Answer:

W = M g          weight of ball

T cos θ  = W         balancing vertical forces

T sin θ = F            balancing horizontal forces

tan θ = F / W        dividing equations

F = W tan θ          when θ equals zero F equals zero

An 800-N billboard worker stands on a 4.0-m scaffold weighing 500 N and supported by vertical ropes at each end. How far would t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

2.5 m

Explanation:

Weight of billboard worker = 800 N

Number of ropes = 2

Length of scaffold = 4 m

Weight of scaffold = 500 N

Tension in rope = 550 N

The sum of the torques will be

-800(4-x)-500\times 2+550\times 4=0\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=500\times 2-550\times 4\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=-1200\\\Rightarrow -x=\dfrac{1200}{800}-4\\\Rightarrow -x=-2.5\\\Rightarrow x=2.5\ m

The position of the person will be 2.5 m

A long string is wrapped around a 6.6-cm-diameter cylinder, initially at rest, that is free to rotate on an axle. The string is
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

\omega_f=571.42\ rpm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of cylinder, d = 6.6 cm

Radius of cylinder, r = 3.3 cm = 0.033 m

Acceleration of the string, a=1.5\ m/s^2

Displacement, d = 1.3 m

The angular acceleration is given by :

\alpha =\dfrac{a}{r}

\alpha =\dfrac{1.5}{0.033}

\alpha =45.46\ rad/s^2

The angular displacement is given by :

\theta=\dfrac{d}{r}

\theta=\dfrac{1.3}{0.033}

\theta=39.39\ rad

Using the third equation of rotational kinematics as :

\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta

Here, \omega_i=0

\omega_f=\sqrt{2\alpha \theta}

\omega_f=\sqrt{2\times 45.46\times 39.39}

\omega_f=59.84\ rad/s

Since, 1 rad/s = 9.54 rpm

So,

\omega_f=571.42\ rpm

So, the angular speed of the cylinder is 571.42 rpm. Hence, this is the required solution.

What was also changed in the "Levers" lab when the position of the fulcrum was changed?
erastova [34]

Effort force

Explanation:

When the potion of fulcrum and weight is changed, the mechanical advantage changes.Increasing the distance between the fulcrum and the effort, there is a proportion increase in effort required to lift a load.The ration of the distance from the fulcrum to the position of input and output application gives the mechanical advantage in levers when losses due to friction are not considered.
