Answer:

processes are competitive and reach a thermal equilibrium where the absorbed energy is equal to the energy emitted, this is the equilibrium temperature of the planet.

Explanation:

The temperature of planet Earth is due to two main types of process, internal and external.

Internal processes are all chemical processes that occur that release heat into the environment or due to gases that trap heat on the planet, greenhouse effect

External processes is heating due to energy coming from the Sun. This includes direct heating of the surface by the absorption of energy and reflects of energy in different atmospheric layers.

These are the two terms that heat the Earth

In addition there are several processes so the planet loses energy,

* energy radiation to outer space that is a few degrees kelvin, for which there is a permanent emission

* endothermic processes that need to absorb heat to perform, this lowers the temperature of the system

* liquid (water) system that absorbs large amounts of heat to change state and temperature.

These processes are competitive and reach a thermal equilibrium where the absorbed energy is equal to the energy emitted, this is the equilibrium temperature of the planet.

Therefore it is impossible for the temperature to increase indefinitely since the emission would increase by decreasing the value

A force does work on an object if a component of the force:a. is perpendicular to the displacement of the object b. is parallel
MAVERICK [17]

As we know that total work done by a force is given by

W = F.d

W = Fdcos\theta

so it is product of force and displacement along same direction

as we can write it as

W = (Fcos\theta)(d)

so it must be the product of force and displacement in same directions so correct answer must be

<u>b. is parallel to the displacement of the object</u>

explain why the different thermal conductivities of metal and plastic are important in the design of the bowl.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

metal conducts heat faster than wood. which means the metal conducted heat away from your hand (or whatever it is) faster than wood.

Explanation:

just because they feel warm/cold doesn't always mean that it is warm/cold. if they both were sitting at room temp for a long time, then both will eventually reach the temp of the room. even though they are the same temp the metal will feel colder than the wood because of the thermal conductivity of the metal compared to the wood.
