How is thermal energy from the sun distributed on Earth ?

Physics
1 answer:
Mrac [35]3 years ago
3 0
Conduction and convection both require some material substance
to move heat from one place to another, and there's none of that
between the sun and Earth. 

The only way for thermal energy to move from place to place with
nothing in between is by the process of radiation, and that's how
it gets here from the sun.

Which of the following changes would increase the focal length of a lens? a) decrease rodius of curvature of surfoce c) increase
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Increase the radius of curvature of surface.

Explanation:

Radius of curvature is the measurement that is two times the focal length, for a given lens. It lies on either side of the lens.

Focal length is the distance which is half of the radius of curvature. Radius of curvature is a measure of the radius of the circle . Focal length is the distance between the center of curvature of the lens and the point where all the rays are brought to a focus for a distant object.

(25%) Problem 3: A bullet is fired horizontally into an initially stationary block of wood suspended by a string and remains emb
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Thus, the initial velocity of the bullet is 507.5 m/s.

Explanation:

mass of bullet, m = 0.0085 kg

mass of block, M = 0.99 kg

Height raised, h = 0.95 m

Let the initial velocity of bullet is u and the final velocity of block and bullet system is v.

Use conservation of energy

Potential energy of bullet bock system = kinetic energy of bullet block system

(M+m)\times g\times h = \frac{1}{2}\times \left ( M+m \right )v^{2}

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.95}=4.32 m/s

Now use conservation of linear momentum

mu = (M+m) v

0.0085 x u = (0.99 + 0.0085) x 4.32

0.0085 u = 4.314

u = 507.5 m/s

Thus, the initial velocity of the bullet is 507.5 m/s.

What properties does a loud, shrill whistle have? a.) high amplitude, high frequency
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

a.) high amplitude, high frequency

Explanation:

Frequency and amplitude are properties of sound. Varying these properties changes how people perceive sound.

While hearing sound of a particular frequency we call it pitch i.e., the perception of a frequency of sound.

High pitch means high frequency and high frequency is perceived to have a shrill sound.

The loudness of a sound is measured by the intensity of sound i.e., the energy the sound possesses per unit area. As the amplitude increases the intensity increases. So, a loud sound will have higher density.

Hence, the loud shrill whistle will have high frequency and high amplitude.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Increasing temperatures evaporate water faster, causing an increase in salinity.

Explanation:

When the water molecules of the ocean become heated, they expand. ... Since warmer water thus can hold more salt and other molecules than cold water; it can have a higher salinity.
