On Earth, solar radiation at the frequencies of visible light largely passes through the atmosphere to warm the planetary surface. The surface itself emits energy at the lower frequencies of infrared thermal radiation. Infrared radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases also radiate energy, some of which is directed to the surface and lower atmosphere. The mechanism is named after the effect of solar radiation passing through glass and warming a greenhouse, but the way it retains heat is fundamentally different as a greenhouse works by reducing airflow, isolating the warm air inside the structure so that heat is not lost by convection

If the archerfish spits its water 30 degrees from the horizontal aiming at an insect 1.2 m above the surface of the water, how f

Burka [1]

Answer:

The speed is $v = 9.8 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

The angle made is $\theta = 30^o$

The distance above the surface of the water is $h_{max} = 1.2 \ m$

The value of $g = 10 \ m/s^2$

The maximum height attained by the fish is mathematically evaluate as

$h_{max} = \frac{v^2 sin ^2 \theta }{2g }$

Making v which is the speed of the fish the subject of the formula

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{2gh_{max}}{ sin^2 \theta } }$

substituting values

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{2*10 *1.2 }{ [sin (30)]^2 } }$

$v = 9.8 \ m/s$

Describe the frequency and wavelength range of radio waves

sammy [17]

Answer:

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light. They have frequencies from 300 GHz to as low as 3 kHz, and corresponding wavelengths from 1 millimeter to 100 kilometers.

A rock is thrown horizontally from a high building at 33.8 m/s. What is the magnitude of its velocity 4.25 s later?

Alex17521 [72]

<h2>Answer:53.63 $ms^{-2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

The equations of motion used in this question is $v=u+at$

When a object is projected horizontally from a sufficiently height,the x-component of acceleration remains zero because there is no force that drags the object in x direction.

But,due to gravity,the object accelerates downward at a rate of $9.8ms^{-2}$ .

In X-Direction,

Given that initial velocity= $u_{x}$ = $33.8ms^{-1}$

Using $v=u+at$ ,

$v_{x}=33.8+(0)4.25=33.8ms^{-1}$

In Y-Direction,

Given that initial velocity= $u_{x}$ = $0ms^{-1}$

Using $v=u+at$ ,

$v_{y}=0+(9.8)4.25=41.65ms^{-1}$

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}$

$v=\sqrt{1142.44+1734.72}=\sqrt{2877.163}=53.63ms^{-1}$

Rhythms that occur faster and slower than the beat are. Select one:. a. incorrect. b. not synchronized with the time signature.

zlopas [31]

Rhythms that occur faster and slower than the beat are b.<span>not synchronized with the time signature. The synchronization follows the same beat or rhythm. If the time signature say is lower than the original, then the rhythm should be faster. Otherwise, the rhythm is slower than the original one.</span>

The astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet Eris suggests there might be another object far beyond the Kupier belt. If this P

PolarNik [594]

These objects would be classified as extreme trans Neptunian object (ETNO).

Explanation:

ETNO’s are the objects lying beyond the planet Neptune and orbiting the Sun. They follow a highly eccentric path which is tilted. ETNO has been grouped into three major according to their respective perihelia.

Within this region (beyond Neptune’s orbit), a hypothetical planet has been discovered. It was discovered following its gravitational effect on the other objects of Kuiper Belt (region beyond the orbit of the Neptune- the last planet of our Solar system)

The Planet is assumed to be around 2 times the Earth’s size and around 10 times heavier than Earth.
