Earth's surface receives about twice as much energy from the atmosphere than from the sun as a result of ___

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are 3 main forces at work here, gravity, normal and friction. The gravity pulls the car straight down and is what keeps the car on the ground. Normal force is straight up from the points where the car is touching, so since the wheels are the only parts of the car touching the street, this is where all the normal force is. Friction force opposes any and all motion, the car wants to slide down the hill and would slide down the hill if there was no friction, so the friction force is in the opposite direction of the cars intended motion.

Warm air aloft is normally higher pressure relative to colder air aloft, which is normally of lower pressure (at equivalent alti

Allisa [31]

Answer:

the statement given is False.

Explanation:

The pressure is defined by

P = F / A

The force of the air is its weight,

P = W_air / A

The weight of an air column on us depends on the energy of the molecules that is related to the temperature

E = 3/2 K T

When the air is warmer it has more energy so the molecules can move more distance and therefore the average density of the gas decreases, as the density decreases, the weight of the column on us also decreases, therefore the pressure low.

The correct statement is: When the air is hotter it has less pressure than when the air is cold.

It is summary the statement given is False

A 2.40 kgkg can of coffee moving at 1.50 m/sm/s in the +x+x-direction on a kitchen counter collides head-on with a 1.20 kgkg box

Monica [59]

Answer:

1.35 m/s in the +x direction

Explanation:

Mass of can of coffee, m = 2.4 kg

Initial velocity of can of coffee, u = 1.5 m/s

Mass of box of macaroni, M = 1.2 kg

Initial velocity of box of macaroni, U = 0 m/s

Final velocity of can of coffee, v = 0.825 m/s

We can find the final velocity of the box of macaroni, V, by using the Principle of Conservation of momentum:

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

Momentum is given as the product of mass and velocity. Hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

(2.4 * 1.5) + (1.2 * 0) = (2.4 * 0.825) + (1.2 * V)

3.6 + 0 = 1.98 + 1.2V

1.2V = 3.6 - 1.98 = 1.62

=> V = 1.62/1.2

V = 1.35 m/s

The final velocity of the box of macaroni is 1.35 m/s and it is in the +x direction.
