What provides and has always provided most of Earth's energy for living things and technology?

1 answer:

6 0

Hints:
The Earth's energy does not come from eating a balanced diet,
or from ninja turtles, or from getting sleep and exercise.
There are no hamsters running on a treadmill inside the Earth.
God didn't wind up a big spring to operate the Earth.

The Sun provides, and has always provided, almost all of the energy
used on Earth. It was the energy that got stored in dead dinosaurs
to make gas and oil, and it's the energy that makes plants grow, and
gets stored in them so we can get the energy by eating the plants.

Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 25.0cm apart. Both rings are charged to +20.0nC. What is the electric field st

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Part A:

$E_{midpoint}=0$

Part B:

$E_{center}=2711.7558 N/C$

Explanation:

Part A:

Formula of Electric Field Strength:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon}\frac{xQ}{(x^2+R^2)^{3/2}}$

Where:

x is the distance from the ring

R is the radius of the ring

$\epsilon$ is constant permittivity of free space=8.854*10^-12 farads/meter

Q is the charge

For right Ring E at the midpoint can be calculated as:

x for right plate=25/2=12.5 cm=0.125 m

Radius=R=10/2=5 cm=0.05 m

$E_{right}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0.125)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0.125)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{right}=9208.1758 N/C$

For Left Ring E at the midpoint can be calculated as:

Since charge on both plates is +ve and same in magnitude, the electric field will be same for both plates.

$E_{left}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0.125)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0.125)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{left}=9208.1758 N/C$

Electric Field at midpoint:

Both rings have same magnitude but the direction of fields will be opposite as they have same charge on them.

$E_{midpoint}=E_{left}-E_{right}\\E_{midpoint}=9208.1758-9208.1758\\E_{midpoint}=0$

Part B:

At center of left ring:

Due to left ring Electric field at center is zero because x=0.

$E_{left}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{left}=0 N/C$

Due to right ring Electric field at center of left ring:

Now: x=25 cm= o.25 m (To the center of left ring)

$E_{right}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0.25)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0.25)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{right}=2711.7558 N/C$

Electric Field Strength at center of left ring is same as that of right ring.

$E_{center}=2711.7558 N/C$

The expression below was formed by combining different gas laws.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Avogadro's law.

Explanation:

Avogadro’s law states that, equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.

Mathematically,

V n

V = Kn where V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; n = number of moles of gas;

K = mathematical constant.

The ideal gas equation is a combination of Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro’s law.

V 1/P at constant temperature (Boyle’s law)

V T at constant pressure ( Charles’law)

V n at constant temperature and pressure ( Avogadro’s law )

Combining the equations yields,

V nT/P

Introducing a constant,

V = nRT/P

PV = nRT

Where P = pressure in atm, Pa, torr, mmHg or Nm-2; V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; T = temperature in Kelvin; n = number of moles of gas in mol; R = molar gas constant = 0.082 dm3atmK-1mol-1

Jan ran 4 miles north in 28 minutes. What was Jan's average velocity?

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by Jan, d = 4 miles

1 mile = 1609.34 m

4 miles = 6437.38 m

Time, t = 28 minutes = 1680 s

Jan's average speed,

v = d/t

$v=\dfrac{6437.38\ \text{m}}{1680\ \text{s}}\\\\v=3.83\ \text{m/s}$

Hence, the average velocity of Jan is 3.83 m/s.

1. How can you explain the sound has energy?<br><br><br>

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Sound energy is produced when an object vibrates. The sound vibrations cause waves of pressure that travel through a medium, such as air, water, wood or metal. Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy.
