Part of the solar radiation entering the atmosphere about ___ actually reaches the earth's surface

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 particle is attached to a spring and is pushed so that the spring is compressed more and more. As a result, the spring exerts
ad-work [718]
In order for particles to perform a simple harmonic motion, we must follow the law of force of the form F = -kx, where x is the displacement of the object from the equilibrium position and k is the spring constant. The force shown in <span>F = -kx is always the restoring force in the sense that the particles are pulled towards the equilibrium position.

The repulsive force felt when the charge q1 is pushed into another charge q2 of the same polarity is given by Coulomb's law
                                F = </span><span>k *q1* q2 / r^2.
</span>It is clear that Coulomb's law is an inverse-square relationship. It does not have the same mathematical form as the equation <span><span>F = -kx.</span> Thus, charged particles pushed towards another fixed charged particle of the same fixed polarity do not show a simple harmonic motion when released. Coulomb's law does not describe restoring force. When q1 is released, it just fly away from q2 and never returns.</span>

A toy train has an acceleration of 1.2 m/s2. A net force of 3.0 N is acting on the train. What is the mass of the train?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

2.5 kg

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F is the net force acting on the train

m is the mass of the train

a is the acceleration

For the toy train in the problem,

F = 3.0 N

a = 1.2 m/s^2

So we can solve the formula for m, to find the mass of the train:

m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{3.0 N}{1.2 m/s^2}=2.5 kg

A remote Internet Web page may sometimes reach your computer by going through a geostationary satellite orbiting approximately 3
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

0.24 seconds

Explanation:

The signal will reach the computer at light speed = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Distance between the satellite and the computer = 3.6\times 10^7m

Since, the bodies have no acceleration relative to each other we use the following formula

Time = Distance / Time

\text{Time}=\frac{3.6\times 10^7}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=0.12\ s

One way delay would be at least 0.12 seconds.

But when you click on a link to open a website this signal has to be first sent to the satellite then the satellite would have to send the required signal back to the computer.

Hence, the minimum time delay would be 0.12+0.12 = 0.24 seconds

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A) d_o = 20.7 cm

B) h_i = 1.014 m

Explanation:

A) To solve this, we will use the lens equation formula;

1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i

Where;

f is focal Length = 20 cm = 0.2

d_o is object distance

d_i is image distance = 6m

1/0.2 = 1/d_o + 1/6

1/d_o = 1/0.2 - 1/6

1/d_o = 4.8333

d_o = 1/4.8333

d_o = 0.207 m

d_o = 20.7 cm

B) to solve this, we will use the magnification equation;

M = h_i/h_o = d_i/d_o

Where;

h_o = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

d_i = 6 m

d_o = 20.7 cm = 0.207 m

Thus;

h_i = (6/0.207) × 0.035

h_i = 1.014 m

In a simple circuit, if you replace one resistor with a resistor of a higher value will the reading the ammeter increase, decrea
Citrus2011 [14]
The ammeter reading (current) will decrease.
V=IR
I = V/R
so I is inversely proportional to R, i.e. increasing R will cause I to decrease
