Answer:

The total power radiated by the sun is 3.71×10^26W

Explanation:

The Earth is spherical in shape

Therefore, Area = 4πr^2 = 4×3.143×(1.489×10^11)^2 = 2.79×10^23m^2

Power radiated by the Sun = solar radiation on Earth × Area = 1330W/m^2 × 2.79×10^23m^2 = 3.71×10^26W

Before radiant energy can be converted to thermal energy,it must be changed to what​
vivado [14]

<u>Answer</u>:

The radiant energy is converted into<u> electronic energy</u> before it is transformed into thermal energy.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Radiant energy occurs in the form of "Electromagnetic radiation" and it can pass through all types of matter travelling through the universe. There are numerous advantages of radiant energy. When the radiant energy is incident upon a substance the energy from the sun light excites the electrons in the atom. This sets the atoms in vibrational motion.

Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of moving particles. The thermal energy increases with increase in movement and number of moving particles. When the atoms make a transition from electronically excited state to vibrational state, the energy transfer increases the temperature of the substance. This is felt as thermal energy. Hence, the radiant energy is changed into "electronic energy" before it is converted into "thermal energy".

For a 1 efficient step down transformer voltage in primary and secondary are equal current in primary and secondary are equal in
Fynjy0 [20]

The given condition for a 100% efficient  step down transformer is not true.

<h3>How do Step-down Transformers work?</h3>

Because there are fewer turns in the secondary winding of a step-down transformer, the secondary voltage is lower than the initial voltage. As a result, this kind of transformer is employed to reduce the voltage to the levels intended for the circuit. Almost all power supply incorporate a step-down transformer to keep the operating voltage range of the circuit within acceptable limits. Electronic transformers and distribution systems are often where these transformers are installed (power transformers).

<h3>What Does a Step-Down Transformer Mean by Power?</h3>

Using the system voltage and current, we can calculate the power of a transformer. Volt-Amps, or VA, is the unit used to measure the power in a transformer (for larger transformers Kilo Volt-Amps, kVA).

Any transformer should, in theory, have constant power on both sides, which implies that the power available on the secondary side of the transformer should match the power available on the primary side. This also applies to step-down transformers. A step-down transformer's secondary side has a lower voltage than its primary side, hence in order to balance the transformer's total power, the secondary current would need to be increased.

<h3>What is the Step-Down Transformer's Relationship Between Voltage and Current?</h3>

In a step-down transformer, the output current is greater than the input current while the output voltage is lower than the primary voltage.

Which question could Not be answered by using the scientific method?
Alchen [17]
For the first question you could devise a way to test the question to find the answer. You could create a sample of black cats, a sample of white cats, and a control sample of a both black and white cats. 
<span>You would measure how much the cats eat each day. The study could be repeated or reviewed by your peers. </span>

<span>For the second question, there is currently no way to sample a person's thoughts, but even if there was a way, there would be no way to repeat the moment. It is not testable and not repeatable and thus cannot use the scientific method. </span>

<span>Calories can be measured and compared. </span>

<span>The tide can be observed until someone hypothesizes the right testable notion to determine the answer.</span>
