EXPLAIN HOW ENERGY IS TRANSMITTED THROUGH A MEDIUM

Physics

Energy can be transmitted through a medium in one of 3 ways:

Conduction -  This occurs when particles of a substance collide with one another, transferring some of their energy to each other in the process. This generally occurs most rapidly in solids due to the close proximity and order of the particles, and most slowly in gases, due to the sparse nature of the particles.

Convection - This occurs when a fluid has a temperature gradient decreasing with increasing altitude. For example, when a pan of water is heated, the higher energy water molecules at the bottom have a lower density than the lower energy molecules at the top of the pan and travel upwards through the liquid, while their place is taken by the lower energy molecules. This phenomenon also occurs in gases (think hot air balloon).

Radiation - This does not involve the movement of particles whatsoever, instead the energy is being transferred in the form of electromagnetic radiation (such as light). This is how the Sun heats the earth, as there are very few particles in space, certainly not enough for conduction/convection. (Note: this does technically involve the movement of particle called photons that make up the radiation, but they are not treated as physical particles like molecules).

Hope this helps.

You use 8x binoculars were used on a warbler (14cm long) in a tree 18cm away. What angle (in degrees) does the image of the warb
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The angle it subtend on the retina is  \theta_z = 0.44586^o    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The length of the warbler is  L = 14cm = \frac{14}{100} = 0.14m

      The distance from the binoculars is    d = 18cm = \frac{18}{100} = 0.18m

        The magnification of the binoculars is  M =8

Without the 8 X binoculars the  angle made with the angular size of the object  is mathematically represented as

          \theta = \frac{L}{d}

        \theta  = \frac{0.14}{0.18}

           = 0.007778 rad

Now magnification can be represented mathematically as

         M = \frac{\theta _z}{\theta}

Where \theta_z is the angle the image of the warbler subtend on your retina when the   binoculars i.e the  binoculars zoom.

So

      \theta_z = M * \theta

=>    \theta_z =8 * 0.007778

            = 0.0622222224

Generally the conversion to degrees can be mathematically evaluated as

             \theta_z = 0.062222224 * (\frac{360 }{2 \pi rad} )

              \theta_z = 0.44586^o

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 70.1 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl
lara [203]

Answer:

given,

mass of the skier = 70.1 Kg

angle with horizontal, θ = 8.6°

magnitude of the force,F = ?

a) Applying newton's second law

   m g sin\theta - F_{rope} = ma

 velocity is constant, a = 0

   m g sin\theta - F_{rope} =0

   F_{rope} = m g sin\theta

   F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0

  F_{rope}= 102.73\ N

b) now, when acceleration, a = 0.135 m/s²

   F_{rope}-m g sin\theta = ma

 velocity is constant, a = 0.135 m/s₂

   F_{rope} = m g sin\theta+ma

   F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0+70.1\times 0.135

  F_{rope}= 112.19\ N
