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.

A person exerts a tangential force of 37.7 N on the rim of a disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.75 m and mass 144 kg. If the

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

ω = 0.467 rad/s

Explanation:

given,

tangential force exerted by the person = 37.7 N

radius of merry-go-round = 2.75 m

mass of merry-go-round = 144 Kg

angle = 33.2°

moment of inertia

$I = \dfrac{1}{2} m R^2$

$I = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 144 \times 2.75^2$

I = 544.5 kg.m²

torque = force x radius

τ = 37.7 x 2.75

τ = 103.675 N.m

angular acceleration

$\alpha= \dfrac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha= \dfrac{103.675}{544.5}$

α = 0.190 rad/s²

now ,

distance = $33.2\times \dfrca{2\pi}{360}$

d = 0.579 rad

we know,

using equation of rotational motion

$d = \omega t + \dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

$0.579 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.190\times t^2$

t = 2.46 s

angular speed

ω = α x t

ω = 0.19 x 2.46

ω = 0.467 rad/s

A wave traveling in the positive x-direction with a frequency of 50.0 Hz is shown in the figure below. Find the following values

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The amplitude is the measure of the height of the wave from the midline to the top of the wave or the midline to the bottom of the wave (called crests). The midline then divides the whole height in half. Thus, the amplitude of this wave is 9.0 cm.

b. Wavelength is measured from the highest point of one wave to the highest point of the next wave (or from the lowest point of one wave to the lowest point of the next wave, since they are the same). The wavelength of this wave then is 20.0 cm. or $\lambda=20.0cm$
