Consider a cloudless day on which the sun shines down across the United States. If 2073 kJ of energy reaches a square meter ( m

The total amount of energy per hour is 2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ

Explanation:

In this problem we are told that the amount of energy reaching a square meter in the United States per hour is

E_1 = 2073 kJ

The total surface area of the United States is

A=9.834\cdot 10^6 km^2

And converting into squared metres,

A=9.834\cdot 10^6 \cdot 10^6 = 9.834\cdot 10^{12} m^2

Therefore, the total energy reaching the entire United States per hour is given by:

E=AE_1 = (9.834\cdot 10^{12})(2073)=2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ

A mixed cost contains Select one:
-Dominant- [34]

A mixed cost contains a variable element and a fixed element.

Option a

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mixed costs are those costs that has both variable and fixed component. Example: operating cost of a machinery includes fixed costs that cannot be changed with other variable costs like fuel, insurance, depreciation, etc.

It is also named as semi-variable costs. And the formula to calculate mixed cost is as follows,

y=a+b x

where,

  • y is the "total cost "
  • a is the "fixed cost per period"
  • b is the "variable rate per unit of activity"
  • x is the "number of units of activity"

An object undergoes two successive displacements:
Gre4nikov [31]

The magnitude of the net displacement is 95.3 m

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the net displacement, we have to resolve each of the two displacements into the horizontal and vertical direction first.

1st displacement is:

d_1=79 m at 16.9^{\circ}

So its components are

d_{1x}=(79)(cos 16.9^{\circ})=75.6 m\\d_{1y}=(79)(sin 16.9^{\circ})=23.0 m

2nd displacement is:

d_2=16.7 m at 31.1^{\circ}

So its components are

d_{2x}=(16.7)(cos 31.1^{\circ})=14.3 m\\d_{2y}=(16.7)(sin 31.1^{\circ})=8.6 m

Therefore, the x- and y-components of the net displacement are:

d_x=d_{1x}+d_{2x}=75.6+14.3=89.9 m\\d_y=d_{1y}+d_{2y}=23.0+8.6=31.6 m

Therefore, the magnitude of the final displacement is:

d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(89.9)^2+(31.6)^2}=95.3 m

During a solar eclipse our tiny moon totally blocks the sun because of .....
Vaselesa [24]

During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between Earth and the sun. This completely blocks out the sun’s light. However, the moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun. How can it block all of that light?

Which feature of the sun appears in cycles of about 11 years?
goldfiish [28.3K]
The Sun's magnetic field goes through a cycle, called the solar cycle. Every 11 years or so, the Sun's magnetic field completely flips. This means that the Sun's north and south poles switch places. Then it takes about another 11 years for the Sun's north and south poles to flip back again.
