Radiation that comes from the sun is being beemed at earth atmosphere
zimovet [89]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The answer is Radiation.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of radiation is the propagation of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles through vacuum or a material medium. Solar radiation is the set of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the Sun and which reach the earth, although not all radiation reaches the Earth's surface, because the shortest ultraviolet waves are absorbed by the gases of the atmosphere. The magnitude that measures the solar radiation that reaches the Earth is the irradiance, which measures the power that per unit of surface reaches the Earth.

Your friend turns the volume up on their speaker system, so that the sound intensity is 4 times greater than it was beforehand.
erica [24]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

We know that intensity I = P/A where P = power and A = area through which the power passes through.

Now, let the initial intensity of the speaker be I₀ and its initial power be P₀. Since the intensity is increased by a factor of 4, the new intensity be I and new power be P.

So, I = P/A and I₀ = P₀/A

Now, if I = 4I₀,

P/A = 4P₀/A

P = 4P₀

Now, energy E = Pt, where t = time. So, P = E/t and P₀ = E₀/t

Substituting P and P₀ into the equation, we have

P = 4P₀

E/t = 4E₀/t

E = 4E₀

Since the energy is four times the initial energy, the energy output increases by a factor of 4.

How long does it take light to travel 850 km in a vacuum? Answer in ms.(Express your answer to two significant figures.)
poizon [28]

Answer:

0.002833 sec

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum is 3\times 10^{8}m/sec

Given distance = 850 km = 850×1000=850000 m

We have to calculate the time that light take to travel the distance 850 km

Time T=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{850000}{3\times 10^8}=2.833\times 10^{-3}sec

So the time taken by light to travel 850 km is 0.002833 sec

Special relativity can be used to study an object in which frame of reference?
Tresset [83]
Special relativity led the path for general relativity; special relativity is in a sense a special application of the rules of general relativity. While general relativity is in position to tackle all of these problems, special relativity can tackle only problems in inertial frames. Inertial frame means that the frame of reference is inot accelerating. So, we disqualify answers A and D. However, remember that moving in a circle means that there is an acceleration, the centrifugal one, even if the speed does not change. Hence C is also incorrect.
The correct answer is B, since if there is no change in velocity, the frame does not accelerate and it is inertial.

Find the momentum of a particl with a mass of one gram moving with half the speed of light.
joja [24]

Answer:

129900

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the particle, m = 1 g = 1*10^-3 kg

Speed of the particle, u = ½c

Speed of light, c = 3*10^8

To solve this, we will use the formula

p = ymu, where

y = √[1 - (u²/c²)]

Let's solve for y, first. We have

y = √[1 - (1.5*10^8²/3*10^8²)]

y = √(1 - ½²)

y = √(1 - ¼)

y = √0.75

y = 0.8660, using our newly gotten y, we use it to solve the final equation

p = ymu

p = 0.866 * 1*10^-3 * 1.5*10^8

p = 129900 kgm/s

thus, we have found that the momentum of the particle is 129900 kgm/s

Describe the main reason why the scientific community did not accept Alfred wegener idea of continental drift?
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>I think they were also too skeptic to believe the continent did move or pull apart, even today do you believe that the continents broke from one big flat plate, and that they pulled apart? They also wonder what large force would be responsible for the movement.

It was much later that evidences from plant and animal features that had similarity from two different planets came up that scientists began accepting the idea of continental drift.
And similar rock strata from two different opposite continents, showed similar rock strata.
All these evidences came up much later after Alfred Wengener.

So Alfred Wengener was honored Posthumously</span>
