The wavelengths of terrestrial radiation from earth's surface are concentrated in thermal infrared spectrum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The wavelengths used in thermal infrared are in the range of micrometer ranging from 8 to 15. Terrestrial radiation is defined as the radiation that is originating from earth due to radioactive materials like uranium, thorium e.t.c.

Increase in terrestrial radiation by the use of radioactive materials will consequently increase global warming as it releases green house gases thereby degrading the quality of earth's atmosphere.

sammy [17]

Answer:

1)  Q ’= 8 Q ,  2)    q ’= 16 q ,  3)   r ’= ¾ r

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Coulomb's law

      F = k q Q / r²

It asks us to calculate the change of any of the parameters so that the force is always F

Original values

                q, Q, r

Scenario 1

      q ’= 2q

       r ’= 4r

     F = k q ’Q’ / r’²

we substitute

     F = k 2q Q ’/ (4r)²

     F = k 2q Q '/ 16r²

we substitute the value of F

      k q Q / r² = k q Q '/ 8r²

       Q ’= 8 Q

Scenario 2

       Q ’= Q

       r ’= 4r

we substitute

      F = k q ’Q / 16r²

      k q Q / r² = k q’ Q / 16 r²

      q ’= 16 q

Scenario 3

      q ’= 3/2 q

      Q ’= ⅜ Q

we substitute

        k q Q r² = k (3/2 q) (⅜ Q) / r’²

        r’² = 9/16 r²

        r ’= ¾ r

An iv curve is generated for two ohmic devices, one is a good conductor and the other is a good insulator. which one will have a
allochka39001 [22]

As per the question there are two ohmic devices.

The first ohmic device is a good conductor and the second one is a good insulator.

As per Ohm's law the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference maintained across the two ends of a conductor at constant temperature and pressure. If V is the potential and I is the current flow through these Ohmic devices,then mathematically it can be written as-

                                                      V∝ I   [ at constant temperature and pressure]

                                                   ⇒V= IR

Here R is the proportionality constant called resistance of the material.

 Hence the resistance R  is calculated as -

                                                         R=\frac{V}{I}

Now a graph is plotted taking potential  V on X-axis and current I along Y- axis.

The graph will be a straight line  for conductor and will be a curve depending on the type of insulator.

The slope of this graph will give  the resistance of the material.

An insulator is a substance through which current flow is very low as its resistance is very high.Hence the slope of the V-I curve is very large.

A conductor is that substance through which current is flown easily as  the resistance of conductor is very low.Hence the slope of V-I curve is smaller,

Alja [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy lost by the handle in lowering is equal to the energy gained by the car in raising the height.

As the mass of car is much more as compared to the jack, so the height raised by the car is very small as compared to the handle of jack.
