The Sun transfers energy to the atmosphere primarily by _____.

1 answer:

5 0

Radiation is the only one that can pass through a vaccum (like space). You need a medium for conduction and convection to work. Therefore the answer is radiation.

A 40 g ball rolls around a 30 cm -diameter L-shaped track, shown in the figure, (Figure 1)at 60 rpm . What is the magnitude of t

levacccp [35]

Answer:

0.47 N

Explanation:

Here we have a ball in motion along a circular track.

For an object in circular motion, there is a force that "pulls" the object towards the centre of the circle, and this force is responsible for keeping the object in circular motion.

This force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by:

$F=m\omega^2 r$

where

m is the mass of the object

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

r is the radius of the circle

For the ball in this problem we have:

m = 40 g = 0.04 kg is the mass of the ball

$\omega =60 rpm \cdot \frac{2\pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=6.28 rad/s$ is the angular velocity

r = 30 cm = 0.30 m is the radius of the circle

Substituting, we find the force:

$F=(0.040)(6.28)^2(0.30)=0.47 N$

Electrolysis can be used to split up ionic compounds into their constituent<br> Science

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Electrolysis is the process by which ionic substances are decomposed (broken down) into simpler substances when an electric current is passed through them. ... Electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. For electrolysis to work, the compound must contain ions.

A bird lands on a bare copper wire carrying a current of 51

nirvana33 [79]

The resistance of the piece of wire is
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
where
$\rho = 1.68 \cdot 10^{-8}\Omega m$ is the resistivity of the copper
$L=5.1 cm=0.051 m$ is the length of the piece of wire
$A=0.13 cm^2 = 0.13 \cdot 10^{-4} m^2$ is the cross sectional area of the wire
By substituting these values, we find the value of R:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}=6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega$

Then, by using Ohm's law, we find the potential difference between the two points of the wire:
$V=IR=(51 A)(6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega )=3.4 \cdot 10^{-3} V$
