Physics
1 answer:
Dmitry [639]3 years ago
4 0

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.

A flowerpot falls off a windowsill and falls past the window below. You may ignore air resistance. It takes the pot 0.380 ss to
kirill [66]

Answer:

The top of the window is 0.5 m below the sill of the upper window  

Explanation:

We have the time the pot takes to fall a distance y- yo = 2.0 m and g = 9.8, from this we can calculate the velocity of the pot when it just reached the top of the window in question. Take the positive y direction to be downward  

y-yo=vo*t+I/2gt^2

  vo=(y-yo-I/2gt^2)/t

  vo=3.138 m/s

The flowerpot falls from rest and we have the velocity it gains until it reaches the top of the window below, from this information we can get the distance between the sill and the top of the window below.  

v^2=vo^2+2g(y-yo)

y-yo=(v^2-vo^2)/2g

      = 0.5 m

The top of the window is 0.5 m below the sill of the upper window

Give two examples of energy being transformed from one type to another
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

For example, an ice cube has heat energy and so does a glass of lemonade. If you put the ice in the lemonade, the lemonade (which is warmer) will transfer some of its heat energy to the ice.

You are given two rectangular blocks of shiny metal, Block A and Block B, and are asked to determine which one will float in a b
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of block A = 10 x 6 x 1 = 60 cm³

Mass of block A = 630 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 630 / 60 = 10.5g / cm³

Volume of block B = 5 x 5 x 3 = 75 cm³

Mass of block A = 604 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 604 / 75 = 8.05 g / cm³

Since density of both A and B are less than that of mercury , both will float in mercury.
