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.

A rock is launched at angle theta=53.2∘ above the horizontal from an altitude of ℎ=182 km with an initial speed ????0=1.61 km/s.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The rock's final speed at the required altitude will be 42.24 m/s.

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the initial vertical speed.

Vertical Speed = 1.61 * Sin (53.2°)

Vertical Speed = 0.8 m/s

We want to know the speed of the rock when it is at an altitude of 91 km.

The total displacement of the rock from its starting position will thus be equal to -91 km

We can use this in the following equation:

$s=u*t+\frac{1}{2} (a*t^2)$

$-91=0.8*t+\frac{1}{2} (-9.8*t^2)$

t = 4.3918 seconds

Thus it takes 4.3918 seconds to reach the required altitude. We can now find the speed as follows:

$V=U+at$

$V=0.8+(-9.8)*(4.3918)$

$V = -42.24$

Thus the rock's final speed at the required altitude will be 42.24 m/s.

Plants make food through photosynthesis, and photosynthesis takes place mostly in plant leaves, but when plants lose their leave

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The answer is not B or D because they need light co2 and water to make their food so B and D are out. and unless someone is walking during winter to feed it. It will not be A so the answer is C.

In an intergalactic competition, spaceship pilots compete to see who can cover the distance between two asteroids in the short-

pogonyaev

Answer:

a) truc is C, b) correct result is the B

Explanation:

As the speed of the competition is very high, for the judges the speed is

v = d / t

v = 3 109 m / 20

v = 1.5 108 m / s

This is half the speed of light. For these high speeds we must use the relations of special relativity.

For the time t = to γ

For distance L = Lo / γ

γ = √ (1-v2 / c2)

Own time and distance (to and Lo) corresponds to the observer who is not moving the judges in this case

Let's look for the range value

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (1.5 / 3) 2) = 1 / 0.866 = 1.15

The time t = 20 1.15 = 23 s

The distance L = 3 10 9 /1.15 = 2.60 109 m

From these results we see that time increases and the distance is shorter.

Let's review the claims

A) False. It's the opposite

B) False

C) True. It is according to the result found

D) False.

In the nuclear fusion process, we will also use the special relativity that has a relationship between energy and mass

ΔE = c² Δm

As in the process energy is released, for the law of conservation of the mass of energy to be fulfilled, the total mass of the products, He atom, must be reduced.

Therefore the correct result is the B
