Which three types of electromagnetic waves carry most of the Sun's energy that strikes Earth?

Describe three societal needs that drive scientific endeavor and give an example of a scientific endeavor associated with each.

Trava [24]

The answer is:

1. Cure disease

2. Improve livelihoods

3. Understand nature and themselves.

1. Disease has plagued humans since the first man. Therefore, man has always used science to seek a cure for any emerging disease such as cancer today

2. Humans use science to improve livelihoods such as means of faster traveling and increasing yields in the fields

3. Science has been used to understand humans and the environment in which they live. This is evident with the numerous scientific probes that explore the earth and space collecting and analyzing data.

You drop your cell phone. Prior to hitting the ground, the phone's kinetic energy will ________ and its potential energy will __

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the phone would increase. The gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy ${\rm KE}$ of an object is proportional to the square of the speed of that object. If air resistance is negligible, the phone would accelerate under gravitational pull and speed up. Hence, the kinetic energy of the phone would increase.

The gravitational field near the surface of the earth is approximately constant. Hence, the gravitational potential energy ${\rm GPE}$ of the phone would be proportional to its height. As the phone approaches the ground, the height of the phone becomes lower and the gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.

a farmer lifts a bale of hay that is 12m off the ground . If he uses a force of 350 n, how much work does the farmer do?

hjlf

Answer:

4200 Joules

Explanation:

Work done =force x distance

From the question , we’re given f =350N ,

d = 12m

Using the above formula, we have

Workdone = 350 x 12

= 4200 Joules

Two forces, F? 1 and F? 2, act at a point, as shown in the picture. (Figure 1) F? 1 has a magnitude of 9.20 N and is directed at

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

a. Fx = -8.089 N b. Fy = 3.525 N c. 8.824 N d. 336.45°

Explanation:

Since F₁ = 9.2 N and acts at 57° above the negative axis in the second quadrant, its x-component is -F₁cos57° and its y- component is F₁sin57°

Since F₁ = 5.2 N and acts at 53.7° below the negative axis in the third quadrant, its x-component is -F₂cos53.7° and its y- component is -F₂sin53.7°

Part A

What is the x component Fx of the resultant force?

The x component of the resultant force Fx = -F₁cos57° + -F₂cos53.7° = -9.2cos57° + (-5.2cos53.7°) = (-5.011 - 3.078) N = -8.089 N

Part B

What is the y component Fy of the resultant force?

The y component Fy of the resultant force = F₁sin57° + -(F₂sin53.7°) = 9.2sin57° - 5.2sin53.7° = (7.716 - 4.191) N = 3.525 N

Part C

What is the magnitude F of the resultant force?

The magnitude F of the resultant force = √(Fx² + Fy²)

F = √(-8.089² N + 3.525² N) = √65.432 + 12.426 = √77.858 = 8.824 N

Part D

What is the angle ? that the resultant force forms with the negative x axis?

The angle the resultant force makes with the negative x axis is given by

θ = tan⁻¹(Fy/Fx) = tan⁻¹(3.525/-8.089) = tan⁻¹-0.4358 = -23.55°.

To measure it from the negative x axis, we add 360. So, our angle = 360 -23.55 = 336.45°
