The air sealed between two panes of glass in some windows helps to <em>reduce the flow of heat passing through the window</em>. Even though the windows are more expensive to build, that little bit of trapped air in there is a very effective INSULATION. It makes the house easier to keep warm in Winter, and easier to keep cool on Summer, and both of those save on the cost of gas or electricity for the house.

The answer is: reduce the flow of heat passing through the window.

A double glazing window or insulating glass consists of two glass window panes separated by a spacer bar and seals to create a hermetically-sealed environment. Space between glass panes is filled under vacuum with either dehydrated air or an inert gas to improve insulation and prevent condensation within the unit. The physical properties of the dehydrated air used in the space between glass panes mean that it transmits less heat than normal air, this is because the molecules of dehydrated air are relatively inert and therefore have a lower thermal conductivity.

A 5kg wheel rolls off a flat roof of a 50 m tall building at 12m/s.

Olegator [25]

Explanation:

a) Given in the y direction (taking down to be positive):

Δy = 50 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

50 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s²) t²

t = 3.2 s

b) Given in the x direction:

v₀ = 12 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 3.2 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (12 m/s) (3.2 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.2 s)²

Δx = 38 m

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

$\frac{\pi }{15}$ m

Explanation:

At 10am, the minute hand and hour hand are ' 2 hours apart', since the minute hand is at 12pm and hour hand is at 10am.

Angle between the two hands = 2/12 * 360

= 60°

Arc Length = $2\pi r(\frac{60}{360} )$

= $2\pi (0.2)(\frac{1}{6} )\\= \frac{\pi }{15} m$

The moon is 3.85 x 10 to the 8 m from earth and has a diameter of 3.48 x 10 to the 6 m. You have a pea (diameter = 0.50 cm) and

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

(a) dime

Explanation:

Convert all to metric unit:

0.5 cm = 0.005 m

1.8 cm = 0.018 m

71 cm = 0.71 m

In order to find out we would need to calculate the ratio R between the object diameter d and their distance s to our eyes:

$R_m = \frac{d_m}{s_m} = \frac{3.48*10^6}{3.85*10^8} \approx 0.009$

$R_p = \frac{d_p}{s_p} = \frac{0.005}{0.71} \approx 0.007$

$R_d = \frac{d_d}{s_d} = \frac{0.018}{0.71} \approx 0.0253$

Since the ratio of the dime is larger than the ratio of the moon, and the ratio of the pea is smaller than the ratio of the moon, only the (a) dime can cover your view of the moon.

Part 1: Use complete sentences to explain why solar winds occur. Part 2: Give two examples in which solar winds impact Earth.

Troyanec [42]

Part 1

When the solar atmosphere accumulates a lot of magnetic energy to a point that cannot accumulate more, all that magnetic energy is suddenly released, and with it, a lot of radiation. So much, that in fact it covers all of the electromagnetic spectrum; from radio waves to gamma rays. That burst of radiation is called a solar flare. In a single solar flare the amount of radiation released is millions of times greater than all the nuclear bombs in the face if the earth exploding together. Lucky for us, most of the high-energy radiation dissipates before reaching the Earth, and the radiation that do reach us, is deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field.

Part 2

1. Not all the radiation of solar flares that reach the Earth is deflected by its magnetic field; some of them reach us and charges the upper atmosphere with ionized particles. Those particles react with the gases in the atmosphere and produce a light; that light is what we call Auroras borealis or southern nights; One the most beautiful natural spectacles in earth, who thought Auroras begin their lives as deadly solar flares.

2. Solar flares contain a lot of high-energy radiation that is extremely dangerous for our electronic devices; when they reach the Earth, they can damage sensible electronics like satellites. A very powerful solar flare could even damage all the electronic devices on the surface of the Earth.
