When the Sun's energy moves through space, it reaches Earth's atmosphere and finally the surface. This radiant solar energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This heat energy is transferred throughout the planet's systems in three ways: by radiation, conduction, and convection.

Which explains the information needed to calculate speed and velocity?

Anestetic [448]

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.

Explanation:

Speed and velocity are two different quantities. In fact:

- Speed is a scalar quantity, which gives a measure of how fast an object is moving, regardless of its direction. Therefore, it only has a magnitude, which is given by the ratio between distance covered and time taken:

$s=\frac{distance}{time}$

Therefore, speed does not take into account the direction of motion.

- Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity, so it has magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by

$v=\frac{displacement}{time}$

where displacement is a vector connecting the initial point with the final point of motion of an object.

The direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

It must be noted also that in certain situations, the average velocity is zero, while the speed is not zero: for example, for an object completing a circle in a certain time interval, its speed is not zero, while its velocity is zero (because the object returns to the starting point, so the displacement is zero.

Therefore, the correct answer is

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.

calculate earths velocity of approach toward the sun when earth in its orbit is at an extremum of the latus rectum through the s

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Calculate Earths velocity of approach toward the sun when earth in its orbit is at an extremum of the latus rectum through the sun, Take the eccentricity of Earth's orbit to be 1/60 and its Semimajor axis to be 93,000,000

answer : V = 1.624* 10^-5 m/s

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the value of a

a = 93 * 10^6 mile/m * 1609.344 m

= 149.668 * 10^8 m

next we will express the distance between the earth and the sun

$r = \frac{a(1-E^2)}{1+Ecos\beta }$ --------- (1)

a = 149.668 * 10^8

E (eccentricity ) = ( 1/60 )^2

$\beta$ = 90°

input the given values into equation 1 above

r = 149.626 * 10^9 m

next calculate the Earths velocity of approach towards the sun using this equation

$v^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 }{r_{c} }$ ------ (2)

Note :

Rc = 149.626 * 10^9 m

equation 2 becomes

( $V^2 = (\frac{4\pi^{2} }{149.626*10^9})$

therefore : V = 1.624* 10^-5 m/s

What important factor does the ozone layer serve in earth's atmosphere?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The Ozone layer is responsible for the absorption of harmful radiation from the sun before it hits the surface or exterior structure of our planet. It is known to be a belt of a known occurring gas, known as “ozone” which is sealed around the Earth’s atmosphere. It serves as a shield, which absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.
