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.

Distance = speed/time

width/distance given is 2.9*10^3 miles
1 mile=1.6*10^6mm
total distance now is 2.9*1.6*10^9
speed is 25 mm/yr
plug the values,

When placed 1.18 m apart, the force each exerts on the other is 11.2 N and is repulsive. What is the charge on each
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

q=41.62\ \mu C

Explanation:

Given that,

Force between two objects, F = 11.2 N

Distance between objects, d = 1.18 m

We need to find the charge on each objects. The force between charges is as follows :

F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\\q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}} \\\\q=\sqrt{\dfrac{11.2\times (1.18)^2}{9\times 10^9}} \\\\q=41.62\ \mu C

So, the charge on each sphere is 41.62\ \mu C.

Fire spreading from a wall to a nearby couch due to radiant heat transfer is an example of heat reflectivity.

<h3>What is heat reflectivity?</h3>

When sunlight and other light sources strike a material's surface, its reflectance is measured. This number can be used to characterize a surface's characteristics in terms of surface finish. Another name for reflection is reflectivity.

This is a measurement of the amount of energy that material reflects at a specific wavelength. A value between 0 and 1 can also be used to represent reflectivity (or a percentage between 0 and 100).

Sigma and other top businesses have created a range of other forms of heat reflective fabric in the 50 years after the creation of space blankets, including Fabric and aluminum foil laminates, fabric laminates with metalized thin films.

The height of a cone is increasing at a rate of 10 cm/sec and its radius is decreasing so that its volume remains constant. How
ki77a [65]

Answer:

dr/dt = -2 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by:

V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h (1)

  • r is the radius
  • h is the height

Let's take the derivative with respect to time in each side of (1).

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{3} \pi \frac{d}{dt}(r^{2}h)=\frac{1}{3} \pi \left(2r\frac{dr}{dt}h+r^{2}\frac{dh}{dt} \right) (2)

We know that:

  • dh/dt = 10 cm / s (rate increasing of height)
  • dV/dt = 0 (constant volume means no variation with respect of time)
  • r = 4 cm
  • h = 10 cm

We can calculate how fast is the radius changing using the above information.

0=\frac{1}{3} \pi \left( 2\cdot 4\cdot \frac{dr}{dt} \cdot 10 + 4^{2}\cdot 10)\right  

Therefore dr/dt will be:

\frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{160}{80}=-2 cm/s

The minus signs means that r is decreasing.

I hope it helps you!
