Answer: It can travel through empty space

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that there are <u>three</u> ways in which the thermal transfer occurs:

1. By Conduction, when the transmission is by the <u>direct contact.</u>

2. By Convection,<u> heat transfer in fluids</u> (like water or the air, for example).

3. By Radiation, by the <u>electromagnetic waves</u> (<u>they can travel through any medium and in vacumm</u>) .

Hence, both conduction and convection need matter to transfer thermal energy, but by radiation there is no need of matter for the heat transfer.

So, since outter space is vacuum (sometimes called "empty" or "empty space"), energy cannot be transmitted by convection, nor conduction. Therfore, it must be transmitted by electromagnetic waves that are able to travel with or without a medium (by radiation).

Is lateral shift or lateral displacement same ?

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

When a ray of light passes through a glass slab of a certain thickness, the ray gets displaced or shifted from the original path. This is called lateral shift/displacement.

An electron moves at a speed of 1.0 x 104 m/s in a circular path of radius 2 cm inside a solenoid. The magnetic field of the sol

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

(a) B = 2.85 × $10^{-6}$ Tesla

(b) I = I = 0.285 A

Explanation:

a. The strength of magnetic field, B, in a solenoid is determined by;

r = $\frac{mv}{qB}$

⇒ B = $\frac{mv}{qr}$

Where: r is the radius, m is the mass of the electron, v is its velocity, q is the charge on the electron and B is the magnetic field

B = $\frac{9.11*10^{-31*1.0*10^{4} } }{1.6*10^{-19}*0.02 }$

= $\frac{9.11*10^{-27} }{3.2*10^{-21} }$

B = 2.85 × $10^{-6}$ Tesla

b. Given that; N/L = 25 turns per centimetre, then the current, I, can be determined by;

B = μ I N/L

⇒ I = B ÷ μN/L

where B is the magnetic field, μ is the permeability of free space = 4.0 × $10^{-7}$ Tm/A, N/L is the number of turns per length.

I = B ÷ μN/L

= $\frac{2.85*10^{-6} }{4*10^{-7} *25}$

I = 0.285 A

2. What process does water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain?

weqwewe [10]

The process that water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain is precipitation.

<h3>What is water runoffs?</h3>

Water runoff occurs when there is more water than land can absorb.

The water flows across the surface of the land and into nearby creeks, streams, or lakes.

Runoff can come from both natural processes and human activity.

When rain falls to the earth from clouds and runs downhill into rivers and lakes.

During evaporation, the water turns from liquid into gas, and moves from oceans and lakes into the atmosphere where it forms clouds.

<h3>What is precipitation?</h3>

Precipitation is any liquid (rain) or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth, for example it could fall on land or into lakes and rivers.

Thus, the process that water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain is precipitation.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Straight line in the direction of the tangential velocity the ball had at the moment the string broke

Explanation:

After the string breaks, the ball now disconnected from the centripetal force that was exerted via the string, continues its travel in a straight line in the direction of the tangential velocity it had at the moment the string broke.
