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.

(a) Calculate the absolute pressure at the bottom of a freshwater lake at a point whose depth is 30.0 m. Assume the density of t
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

(a) The absolute pressure at the bottom of the freshwater lake is 395.3 kPa

(b) The force exerted by the water on the window is 36101.5 N

Explanation:

(a)

The absolute pressure is given by the formula

P = P_{o} + \rho gh

Where P is the absolute pressure

P_{o} is the atmospheric pressure

\rho is the density

g is the acceleration due to gravity (Take g = 9.8 m/s^{2} )

h is the height

From the question

h = 30.0 m

\rho = 1.00 × 10³ kg/m³ = 1000 kg/m³

P_{o} = 101.3 kPa = 101300 Pa

Using the formula

P = P_{o} + \rho gh

P = 101300 + (1000×9.8×30.0)

P = 101300 + 294000

P =395300 Pa

P = 395.3 kPa

Hence, the absolute pressure at the bottom of the freshwater lake is 395.3 kPa

(b)

For the force exerted

From

P = F/A

Where P is the pressure

F is the force

and A is the area

Then, F = P × A

Here, The area will be area of the window of the underwater vehicle.

Diameter of the circular window = 34.1 cm = 0.341 m

From Area = πD²/4

Then, A = π×(0.341)²/4 = 0.0913269 m²

Now,

From F = P × A

F = 395300 × 0.0913269

F = 36101.5 N

Hence, the force exerted by the water on the window is 36101.5 N

Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.
Gennadij [26K]

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.

7. Which quantity is the transfer of energy?<br> force<br> motion<br> work
Arisa [49]

In this exercise we have to know the definition of energy to understand what is transferred to a body, like this:

Work

<h2>What is energy?</h2>

Despite being used in many different contexts, the scientific use of the word energy has a well-defined and precise meaning: Innate potential to perform work or perform an action. Anything that is working, moving another object, or heating it up, for example, is expending (transferring) energy.

With this definition we can say that the only alternative that responds to this is work.

A football player kicks a 0.94 kg football with a force of 2.4 N.
Artyom0805 [142]

2.6m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of football = 0.94kg

Force on ball = 2.4N

Unknown:

The acceleration of the ball = ?

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

  Net force = mass x acceleration

Make acceleration the subject of the expression;

       Acceleration = \frac{net force}{mass}

Acceleration  = \frac{2.4}{0.94}  =  2.6m/s²
