Answer:

48%

Explanation:

The earth's temperature has to be stable and this is the reason for the presence of incoming and outgoing heat. Of the solar energy reaching the atmosphere, about 29% is bounced back as reflected radiation by clouds, snow and particles in the atmosphere, about 23% is absorbed by the atmosphere and about 48% actually gets to the earth surface.

Which type of electromagnetic waves make up the colors of a rainbow seen after a storm?

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

we conclude that visible light is that electromagnetic wave that makes up the colors of a rainbow seen after a storm.

Hence, option A is correct.

Explanation:

Generally, after the storm, we can witness the presence of a rainbow with our naked eyes. Rainbow, visible to our eyes, consists of all the seven constituent colors of white light. Those seven colors range from violet to red, all having different wavelengths. When water particles present in our atmosphere get exposed to light, all the constituent colors of a white light tend to deviate at a variety of angles. It happens due to their refraction through water particles; thus, a spectrum is obtained.

As we cannot see X-rays, UV rays, and infrared waves through our naked eye, visible light is the kind of electromagnetic wave that makes anyone able to see the objects.

Please note that all the constitute colors of a beautiful rainbow associate with the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Therefore, we conclude that visible light is that electromagnetic wave that makes up the colors of a rainbow seen after a storm.

Hence, option A is correct.

An electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e - 1.60 x 10-19 C. Which one of the following stat

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of $E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }$ .

Explanation:

An electric field is define as the surrounding of charges which exert a force on each other and this force can be attractive or repulsive depends on the charge.

In the given case electron is given and the magnitude of charge on electron is $e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Electric field can be represented as,

$E=\frac{kQ}{r^{2} }$

Here, r is the distance between the point ande charge, k is the electric field constant and Q is the charge.

In the given question an electron is given so electric field will be,

$E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }$

As we know that electric field start from the positive charge and vanish in the negative charge.

So, here the electric field will be $E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }$ and it is directed toward the electron because of negative charge on the electron.

Two charges, X and Y, are placed along the x-axis. Charge X is +18 nC and is placed at x = 0. Charge Y is placed at a location o

Helen [10]

Answer:

Charge Z can be placed at x = -2.7 m or at x = 0.27 m.

Explanation:

The Coulomb force between two charges, $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ , separated by a distance, $d$ , is given

$F = k\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}$

k is a constant.

For the charge Z to be at equilibrium, the force exerted on it by charge X must be equal and opposite to the force exerted on it by charge Y.

It is to be placed along the x-axis. Hence, it is on the same line as charges X and Y.

Let the charge on Z be Q. It is positive.

Let the distance from charge X be x m. Then the distance from charge Y will be (0.60 - x) m.

Force due to charge X

$F_X = k\dfrac{18Q}{x^2}$

Force due to charge Y

$F_Y = k\dfrac{-27Q}{(0.60-x)^2}$

Since both forces are equal and opposite,

$F_X = -F_Y$

$k\dfrac{18Q}{x^2} = -k\dfrac{-27Q}{(0.60-x)^2}$

$\dfrac{2}{x^2} = \dfrac{3}{(0.60-x)^2}$

$2(0.60-x)^2 = 3x^2$

$2(0.36-1.20x+x^2) = 3x^2$

$0.72-2.40x+2x^2 = 3x^2$

$x^2+2.40x-0.72 = 0$

Applying the quadratic formula,

$x = \dfrac{-2.40\pm\sqrt{2.40^2 - (4)(1)(-0.72)}}{2} = \dfrac{-2.40\pm\sqrt{8.64}}{2}$

$x = -2.7$ or $x = 0.27$

Charge Z can be placed at x = -2.7 m or at x = 0.27 m
