Answer:

Radiation

Explanation:

For about the last 5 billion years, the sun has been fusing light elements into heavier ones, and creating lots of energy in that process. After about 100,000 years, that energy gets to the surface of the sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation, in which form it travels all the way to earth, through the atmosphere, and then onto the skin of people tanning. Hope this helps!

a toy car travels from A to B at constant speed 30km/hr and without stopping at B return A at constant speed v. if the average s
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Speed BA = 18 km/hr.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed AB = 30km/hr

Speed BA = x km/hr

Average speed = 24 km/hr

To find the value of x;

Average speed = (Speed AB + Speed BA)/2

Substituting into the equation, we have

24 = (30 + x)/2

48 = 30 + x

x = 48 - 30

x = 18 km/hr

Two parallel plates that are initially uncharged are separated by 1.7 mm, have only air between them, and each have surface area
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

5.63\cdot 10^{-6} C

Explanation:

The capacitor of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C=\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

A is the area of each plate

d is the separation between the plates

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

The energy stored in a capacitor instead is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^2}{C}

where

Q is the charge stored in each plate

Substituting the expression we found for C inside the last formula,

U=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^2 d}{\epsilon_0 A}

And re-arranging it

Q=\sqrt{\frac{2U\epsilon_0 A}{d}}

Now if we substitute

d=1.7 mm=0.0017 m\\A=16 cm^2 = 16\cdot 10^{-4} m^2\\U = 1.9 J

We find the charge stored on the capacitor:

Q=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.9)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(16\cdot 10^{-4})}{0.0017}}=5.63\cdot 10^{-6} C

What measures air pressure.?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
That depends on what type of pressure you are attempting to measure, to measure Atmospheric pressure, you would use a Barometer. To measure things like tires, you could use a Tire Pressure Gauge. For Industrial processes and boilers, you would use a Manometer. For pressure vessels, you would use a Bordon Gauge.   <span />

sleet_krkn [62]
We are 8 light minutes from the sun. That means two things, we see the sun as it was 8 minutes ago, and we WOULD continue to see the sun for 8 minutes after it disappeared.
