What happens when solar energy heats a body of water?

2 answers:

6 0

Explanation: Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor (Dunn,1993).

The correct answer would be Evaporation. When the heat heats water too a a boiling point then it turns into steam also know as Evaporation

The box leaves position x=0 with speed v0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at position x

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

$Ff=m\times \dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

Explanation:

Given that

At X=0 V=Vo

At X=X1 V=0

As we know that friction force is always try to oppose the motion of an object. It means that it provide acceleration in the negative direction.

We know that

$V^2=U^2-2aS$

$0=V_o^2-2a X_1$

$a=\dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

So the friction force on the box

Ff= m x a

$Ff=m\times \dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

Where m is the mass of the box.

A 100 kg bungee jumper leaps from a bridge. The bungee cord has an un-streched equilibrium length of 10 m, and a spring constant

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

11.78meters

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m = 100kg

Length of cord= 10m

Spring constant k= 35N/m

At the greatest vertical distance, the spring potential energy is equal to the gravitational potential energy

That is

Us=Ug

Us= 1/2kx^2

Ug= mgh

1/2kx^2= mgh

0.5*35*10^2= 100*9.81*h

0.5*35*100=981h

1750=981h

h= 1750/981

h= 1.78

Hence the bungee jumper will reach 1.78+10= 11.78meters below the surface of the bridge

Many web sites describe how to add wires to your clothing to keep you warm while riding your motorcycle. The wires are added to

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

$P=42.075W$

Explanation:

The power provided by a resistor (wire in this case) is given by:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$ .

The resistance of a wire is given by:

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

Where for the resistivity the one of the copper should be used: $\rho=1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m$ .

The area A is that of a circle, which written in terms of its diameter is:

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (d/2)^2=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Putting all together:

$P=\frac{AV^2}{\rho L}=\frac{\pi d^2V^2}{4\rho L}$

Which for our values is:

$P=\frac{\pi (0.00025m)^2(12V)^2}{4(1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m)(10m)}=42.075W$

Radio waves travel at 3.00 · 108 m/s. Calculate the wavelength of a radio wave of frequency 900 kHz. (9.00 · 105 Hz.)

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

V: velocity of wave
f: frequency
L: wavelenght

v = fL => L = v/f => L = (3x10^8)/(900x10^3) => L = 3.33 x 10^2m
