Which is defined as a disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another?

the amount of water returning to the earth through precipitation is blank the amount of water leaving the earth through evaporat

nalin [4]

Answer:

The amount of water entering the earth through precipitation is equal to the amount of water leaving earth through transpiration.

Explanation:

Rates of precipitation and evaporation vary widely according to regions and seasons. But in a global scale the rates are equal. Thus the total amount of earth’s water maintains its constancy even though there is a continuous change in forms of water.

Evaporation and transpiration are the forms in which Water leaves the earth and it returns to the earth in various forms of precipitation like rain, snow, dew, fog etc. This water then reaches ocean and land. The water that reaches the land flows as surface run off into rivers and water bodies or seep into the ground replenishing the ground water table.

a water-balloon launcher with mass 4 kg fires a 0.5 kg balloon with a velocity of 3 m/s to the east. what is the recoil velocity

kotykmax [81]

I think we will use the law of conservation of linear momentum;
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = 4 kg (mass of the water balloon launcher)
V1=?
M2= 0.5 kg ( mass of the balloon)
V2 = 3 m/s

Therefore; 4 V1 = 0.5 × 3
4V1= 1.5
V1= 1.5/4
= 0.375 m/s

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What mu

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

t = 96.1 nm

Explanation:

For strong reflection through liquid layer we know that the path difference between two reflected light rays must be integral multiple of wavelength

now we know that the path difference of two reflected light from thin liquid layer is given as

$2\mu t - \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda$

here we know that

$\mu = 1.756$

t = thickness of layer

N = 0 (for minimum thickness of layer)

$\lambda = 675 nm$

now we have

$2(1.756) t = \frac{675 nm}{2}$

$t = 96.1 nm$

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.

pav-90 [236]

Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of. These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line

aniked [119]

Complete Question:

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Which list represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon?

Group of answer choices.

A. Earth, sun, moon

B. sun, moon, Earth

C. moon, sun, Earth

D. sun, Earth, moon

Answer:

D. sun, Earth, moon

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun thereby causing it to cover the Moon with its shadow.

Simply stated, lunar eclipse takes place when the Moon passes or moves through the Earth's shadow thereby blocking any ray of sunlight from reaching the Moon. Thus, the full moon appears deep red (blood moon).

Also, a lunar eclipse would occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are closely aligned to form a straight line known as the syzygy.

There are three (3) types of lunar eclipse and these are;

1. Total lunar eclipse.

2. Partial lunar eclipse.

3. Penumbra lunar eclipse.

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Thus, the list which represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon is sun, Earth, and moon
