Answer:

When the Sun's energy moves through space, it reaches Earth's atmosphere and finally the surface. This radiant solar energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This heat energy is transferred throughout the planet's systems in three ways: by radiation, conduction, and convection.

Answer: The sun’s radiation consists of small, massless packets of energy called photons. They travel seamlessly through space; whenever they strike any object, the object absorbs photons and its energy is increased, which then heats it up.

Answer:

W = 1884J

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. The original question was:

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.

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

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 "Enter your answer in joules to four significant figures.":

W = 1884J

Answer:

It’s called a conservative field.

Explanation:

I think it’s going to be the conservative field because in the question it talks about how it is able to become possible to define potential at a point in an electric field because electric field.
