How is thermal energy from the sun distributed on Earth ?

1 answer:

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.

Answer:

All steps are 20 * 100 (break the rest into appropriate pieces)

You can multiply as follows

(2000) * ((3 * 60) + (2 * 60) + 60)

V = 2000 * 6 * 60) = 720,000 cm^3 = .72 m^3

.72 m^3 * 2400 kg / m^3 = 1728 kg

Does anyone know this one? Thanks

Inessa [10]

Answer:

$3.844\,*\,10^5$

So a=3.844 and b=5

Explanation:

Scientific notation requests to write a number using powers of ten as a factor accompanying a real number (a) between 1 and smaller than 10 that contains the digits to exactly represent the original number. So in this case, the number 384,400 can be written as:

$384,400=3.844 \,*\,100,000= 3.844 \,*\,10^5$

with a=3.844, and "5" as the exponent of ten (so b=5)

Find the equivalent resistance of this

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Re=160ohm

Explanation:

Step#1

Rt=R1+R2 ( because both are in series)

Rt=(100+220 ) ohm

Rt=320 ohm

Step#2

Rt and R3 are parallel so,

Re= (Rt× R3) ÷ (Rt+R3)

Re= (320×320)÷( 320+320)

Re = 102,400÷ 640

Re=160ohm

You adjust the temperature so that a sound wave travels more quickly through the air. You increase the temperature from 30 degre

katen-ka-za [31]

To calculate the velocity of the sound wave, we use this formula:
V = 331 + [0.6*T],
Where V is the velocity and T represents temperature.
When the temperature is 36 degree Celsius, we have
V = 331 + [0.6 * 36]
V = 331 + 21.6 = 352.6
Therefore, V = 352.6 m/s.

When running a half marathon (13.1 miles), it took Kevin 8 minutes to run from mile marker 1 to mile marker 2, and 18 minutes to

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

It took Kevin 26 minutes to run from markers 1 to 4

His average speed from mile markers 1 to 4 is 0.154 miles/minute

Kevin must run by average speed 0.1 miles/minute to finish the race

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

A half marathon 13.1 miles

Kevin took 8 minutes to run from mile marker 1 to mile marker 2 and

18 minutes to run from mile marker 2 to mile marker 4

→ He took 8 minutes and 18 minutes to run from marker 1 to marker 4

→ The total time of the first 4 marker = 8 + 18 = 26 minutes

It took Kevin 26 minutes to run from markers 1 to 4

Average speed is total distance divided by total time

The average speed of Kevin as he ran from mile marker 1 to mile

marker 4 is the 4 miles divides by 26 minutes

→ Average speed = 4 ÷ 26 = $\frac{2}{13}$ = 0.154 miles/minute

His average speed from mile markers 1 to 4 is 0.154 miles/minute

It took Kevin 71 minutes to pass mile marker 9

Kevin need to complete the race in 112 minutes, then what must

Kevin's average speed be as he travels from mile marker 9 to the

finish line?

The total distance of the race is 13.1 miles, he ran 9 miles

→ The remaining distance = 13.1 - 9 = 4.1 miles

He must run 4.1 miles to complete the race

The total time is 112 minutes, he used 71 minutes to run the first 9 miles

→ The remaining time = 112 - 71 = 41 minutes

He must finish the 4.1 miles in 41 minutes

→ His average speed for the last part of the race = 4.1 ÷ 41 = 0.1 mi/min

Kevin must run by average speed 0.1 miles/minute to finish the race
