How is thermal energy from the sun distributed on Earth ?

Physics
1 answer:
Mrac [35]2 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.

What conditions must be satisfied for a body to be in equilibrium <br>​
dem82 [27]

For an object to be in equilibrium, it must be experiencing no acceleration. This means that both the net force and the net torque on the object must be zero.

a mass of 0.75 kg is attached to a spring and placed on a horizontal surface. the spring has a spring constant of 180 N/m, and t
Artemon [7]

Answer:

6.57 m/s

Explanation:

First use Hook's Law to determine the F the compressed spring acts on the mass. Hook's Law F=kx; F=force, k=stiffnes of spring (or spring constant), x=displacement

F=kx; F=180(.3) = 54 N

Next from Newton's second law find the acceleration of the mass.

Newton's .2nd law F=ma; a=F/m ; a=54/.75 = 72m/s²

Now use the kinematic equation for velocity (or speed)

v₂²= v₀² + 2a(x₂-x₀); v₂=final velocity; v₀=initial velocity; a=acceleration; x₂=final displacement; x₀=initial displacment.

v₀=0, since the mass is at rest before we release it

a=72 m/s² (from above)

x₀=0 as the start position already compressed

x₂=0.3m (this puts the spring back to it's natural length)

v₂²= 0 + 2(72)(0.3) = 43.2 m²/s²

v₂=\sqrt{43.2)\\ = 6.57 m/s

A descending elevator of mass 1,000 kg is uniformly decelerated to rest over a distance of 8 m by a cable in which the tension i
Stolb23 [73]

The speed  V_{i} of the elevator at the beginning of the 8 m descent is nearly 4 m/s. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

We are given that-

the mass of the elevator (m) = 1000 kg ;

the distance the elevator decelerated to be y = 8m ;

the tension is T = 11000 N;

let us determine the acceleration 'a' by using Newton's second law of motion.

∑Fy = ma

W - T = ma

(1000kg x 9.8 m/s² ) - 11000N = 1000 kg x a

9800 - 11000 = 1000

a = - 1.2 m/s²

Using the equation of kinematics to determine the initial velocity.

V_{f} ² = V_{i}² + 2ay

V_{i} = √ ( 2 x 1.2m/s² x 8 m )

V_{i} = √19.2 m²/s²

V_{i} = 4.38 m/s   ≈ 4 m/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the elevator is 4m/s.
