Answer:

Up

Explanation:

The direction where air resistance act will always be opposite to where the object is going.

Since the object is going down, the air resistance would go up.

What is the period of a wave with a frequency of 100 Hz and a wavelength of 2.0 m
spin [16.1K]

The answer for the following answer is answered below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.</em></u>
  • <u><em>Therefore the option for the answer is "B".</em></u>

Explanation:

Frequency (f):

The number of  waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.

The SI unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz)

Time period (T):

The time taken for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point.

The SI unit of time period is seconds (s)

Given:

frequency (f) = 100 Hz

wavelength (λ) = 2.0 m

To calculate:

Time period (T)

We know;

According to the formula;

<u>f =</u>\frac{1}{T}<u></u>

Where,

f represents the frequency

T represents the time period

from the formula;

  T = \frac{1}{f}

 T = \frac{1}{100}

  T = 0.01 seconds

<u><em>Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.</em></u>

In complete sentences describe the energy flow between the Sun, the Earth, and space
agasfer [191]
Answer: The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
Explanation:
The amount of incoming energy from the Sun decides the weather and climate of earth. If the energy that is incoming and outgoing on the earth, then climate is in equilibrium. The balance is depending on the scattering, absorption, reflection and transformation of energy.
The energy from sun passes through space and reaches the earth’s surface. On reaching surface, the solar energy warms the atmosphere releasing heat energy which gets transferred throughout the planets system by radiation, conduction and convection. Conduction happens in the atmosphere within first several millimeters close to the surface. This heated air expands as it is dense and rises causing transfer of heat to atmosphere through convection process. It results in formation of clouds.
The radiant energy from sun is transmitted via space in form of invisible waves. But much of the suns radiant energy, is transmitted back to atmosphere. The objects on earth like land, plants, animals absorb radiant energy as heat of which one third gets re-radiated back to atmosphere that is absorbed by carbon dioxide and water vapor. The atmosphere radiates heat energy back to earth increasing the earth temperature. This trapping of radiation is greenhouse effect.
The thermal energy obtained by convection currents are responsible for wind, cloud formation, and weather formation. The hydrosphere that comprises of 70% of earth’s surface absorbs solar energy.
On the basis of the above explanation is:
The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.

what is the pressure exerted, what is the pressure exerted by 50kg girl as she places her weight on one shoe if the heels area i
lana [24]

Answer:

The pressure exerted by the girl is 245,000 N/m²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the girl, m = 50 kg

area of the girl's shoe, A = 0.002 m²

The pressure exerted by the girl is calculated as follows;

P = \frac{F}{A} \\\\Where;\\F \ is \ the \ force \ exerted \ by \ girl's \ weight\\\\P = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{mg}{A} = \frac{50 \times 9.8}{0.002} = 245,000 \ N/m^2

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the girl is 245,000 N/m²
