Energy from the sun is transferred to earth through convection. true or false.

Physics

slamgirl [31]3 years ago

That's false.  Convection is the process of moving heat around
by heating a fluid and letting the fluid flow to somewhere else. 
There's no fluid in the space between the sun and us, so convection,
and conduction too, aren't possible.  The only way for the sun's light,
heat, and X-ray energy to get here is by the process of RADIATION.

Answer:

FALSE is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Energy from the sun is transferred to earth by Radiation not through convection because convection takes place within the fluids and Convection happens only when the medium is involved.

Convection is the transfer of energy by the flow of the heated particles of a gas or liquid.

Energy from the sun transferred to the earth through Vacuum or radiation, and the radiation consists of electromagnetic radiation, which transfers the energy from the sun to earth through the Vacuum and there is no medium involved in this process that's the reason convection cannot occur during this process.

Aliens come blasting into our solar system and wipe out everything but the Sun, the Earth, and Jupiter. Discuss (conceptually) w
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

In theory, the gravitational pull between the planets depends on their total mass and the distance between them. The sun has a mass of 1.989x10^{30} kg, Jupiter has a mass of 1.898x10^{27} kg and Earth has a mass of 5.972x10^{24} kg.

Earth is closer to Jupiter than it is to the sun. The other planets that are behind jupiter are gone so that means the sun's pulling force's effect on jupiter is increased drastically since there is no force the balance that and that means that jupiter is going to get closer to earth.

The new center of mass of the new solar system is roughly located between earth and the sun, closer to earth.

I hope this answer helps.

Consider a motor that exerts a constant torque of 25.0 nâ‹…m to a horizontal platform whose moment of inertia is 50.0 kgâ‹…m2. A
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

W = 1884J

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. The original question was:

<em>Consider a motor that exerts a constant torque of 25.0 N.m to a horizontal platform whose moment of inertia is 50.0kg.m^2 . Assume that the platform is initially at rest and the torque is applied for 12.0rotations . Neglect friction. </em>

<em> How much work W does the motor do on the platform during this process?  Enter your answer in joules to four significant figures.</em>

The amount of work done by the motor is given by:

W=\Delta K

W= 1/2*I*\omega f^2-1/2*I*\omega o^2

Where I = 50kg.m^2 and ωo = rad/s. We need to calculate ωf.

By using kinematics:

\omega f^2=\omega o^2+2*\alpha*\theta

But we don't have the acceleration yet. So, we have to calculate it by making a sum of torque:

\tau=I*\alpha

\alpha=\tau/I     =>     \alpha = 0.5rad/s^2

Now we can calculate the final velocity:

\omega f = 8.68rad/s

Finally, we calculate the total work:

W= 1/2*I*\omega f^2 = 1883.56J

Since the question asked to "<em>Enter your answer in joules to four significant figures.</em>":

W = 1884J

an object of mass m is rotating about a fixed axis with angular momentum l. its moment of inertia about this axis is i. what is
Tems11 [23]

The Kinetic energy would be 1/2IL².

<h3>What is Rotational Kinetic energy ?</h3>

  • Rotational energy also known as angular kinetic energy is defined as: The kinetic energy due to the rotation of an object and is part of its total kinetic energy. Rotational kinetic energy is directly proportional to the rotational inertia and the square of the magnitude of the angular velocity.

As we know linear Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

 where m= mass and v= velocity.

Similarly rotational kinetic energy is given by = 1/2IL²

 where I- moment of inertia and L=angular momentum.

Do you think it is possible to control the magnetic properties of a magnet? Can a magnet be turned on and off?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Yes it is possible to control to some extent.

Explanation:

In general there are two types of magnets : permanent and temporary (electromagnets).

Electromagnets can be controlled since it basically depends on electricity. By switching on and off the electric supply the magnets also can be switched on and off respectively. We can also control the intensity of magnetic power.

On the other hand permanent magnet cannot be switched on and off but the magnetic properties can be altered event to an extent when it loses all its magnetic properties. It can be caused by high temperature, physical impact and also exposure to other magnetic fields. For every element there is a point of temperature called curie temperature above which the permanent magnet loses its magnetic properties. This can be brought back again by induced magnetism. The only issue is that induced magnetism work in most cases but not in all.
