Answer: Radiation

Explanation:

The heat transfer process that is important in the transfer of energy from the Sun to Earth is Radiation.

Radiation is one of the mode of heat transfer which transfer energy/heat from one medium to another without any intervening medium. For example, heat from the sun reaches the earth through radiation. The sun hits the earth directly without any medium between the sun itself and the earth.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

option (E) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is defined as the product of force and the distance in the direction of force.

force, f = 100 N

Coefficient of friction, = 0.25

distance = 15 m

So, net force F = f - friction force

F = 100 - 0.25 x m g

Work = (100 - 0.25 mg) x d cosθ

For minimum work, the angle should be maximum.

So, the value of θ is 76°.

thus, option (E) is correct.

if abus travelling at 20m/s is subject to steady decceleration of 5m/s².how long will it take yo come to rest.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -5 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-5 m/s²) t + 20 m/s

t = 4 s

Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g

djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) m = 69.0 kg

b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law

F = m a

m = F / a

m = 60.0 / 0.870

m = 69.0 kg

b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved

p₀ = p_f

m v = M v '

v ’= $\frac{m}{M} \ v$

so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.

One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.

What is a conversion factor?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A ratio of equivalent units

Explanation:

A conversion factor is a ratio of equivalent units and depends on which units are to be converted.

For example we want to convert 275 [mm] to inches, so we have to find the right conversion factor to allow us to work that conversion.

275 [mm] = inches = ?

$275 [mm] * \frac{1in}{25.4mm} = 10.82 [in]$

In this case the ratio is 1/25.4 = 0.039 [in/mm]
