Answer:

Fatty acids.

Explanation:

-Long term energy storage is stored in the form of triglycerides .

-They are efficient storing molecules. They are more efficient thatn glycogen(cabohydrates).

-Fatty acids are more calori dense hence them being ideal for long term energy storage.

Reception devices pick up the variation in the electric field vector of the electromagnetic wave sent out by the satellite. Give

Keith_Richards [23]

Complete Question

A satellite in geostationary orbit is used to transmit data via electromagnetic radiation. The satellite is at a height of 35,000 km above the surface of the earth, and we assume it has an isotropic power output of 1 kW (although, in practice, satellite antennas transmit signals that are less powerful but more directional).

Reception devices pick up the variation in the electric field vector of the electromagnetic wave sent out by the satellite. Given the satellite specifications listed in the problem introduction, what is the amplitude E0 of the electric field vector of the satellite broadcast as measured at the surface of the earth? Use ϵ0=8.85×10^−12C/(V⋅m) for the permittivity of space and c=3.00×10^8m/s for the speed of light.

Answer:

The electric field vector of the satellite broadcast as measured at the surface of the earth is $E_o = 6.995 *10^{-6} \ V/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the satellite is $r = 35000 \ km = 3.5*10^{7} \ m$

The power output of the satellite is $P = 1 \ KW = 1000 \ W$

Generally the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation of the satellite at the surface of the earth is mathematically represented as

$I = \frac{P}{4 \pi r^2}$

substituting values

$I = \frac{1000}{4 * 3.142 (3.5*10^{7})^2}$

$I = 6.495*10^{-14} \ W/m^2$

This intensity of the electromagnetic radiation of the satellite at the surface of the earth can also be mathematically represented as

$I = c * \epsilon_o * E_o^2$

Where $E_o$ is the amplitude of the electric field vector of the satellite broadcast so

$E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2 * I}{c * \epsilon _o} }$

substituting values

$E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 6.495 *10^{-14}}{3.0 *10^{8} * 8.85*10^{-12}} }$

$E_o = 6.995 *10^{-6} \ V/m$

When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.

Explain how wavelength and frequency are important in determining the type of light.

asambeis [7]

It is important to note that the electromagnetic spectrum has a variety of wavelength and frequency of light in it. Some lights we can see, while others are not visual to our naked eye. It is actually very important to determine the kind of light as different lights have different wavelengths and frequencies. some lights are of very high frequency like the gamma rays, while others are of far lower frequency. <span />
