Earth has an __ of about 30 percent, reflecting much of the sun's radiation back into space.

Which example best illustrates the transfer of energy between two waves?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Vibrations of electric and magnetic fields.

Vibration of air particles

Vibration of the water particles.

Explanation:

We have here two groups of waves. Electromagnetic wave and mechanical waves.

For the first one, electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields.
For the second group, mechanical waves as a sound, for instance, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. Or In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.

I hope it helps you!

Consider the following four objects: a hoop, a flat disk, a solid sphere, and a hollow sphere. Each of the objects has mass M an

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The hoop

Explanation:

We need to define the moment of inertia of the different objects, that is,

DISK:

$I_{disk} = \frac{1}{2} mR^2$

HOOP:

$I_{hoop} = mR^2$

SOLID SPHERE:

$I_{ss} = \frac{2}{5}mR^2$

HOLLOW SPHERE

$I_{hs} = \frac{2}{3}mR^2$

If we have the same acceleration for a Torque applied, then

$mR^2>\frac{2}{3}mR^2>\frac{1}{2} mR^2>\frac{2}{5}mR^2$

$I_{hoop}>I_{hs} >I_{disk}>I_{ss}$

The greatest momement of inertia is for the hoop, therefore will require the largest torque to give the same acceleration

How does wind affect precipitation

patriot [66]

Winds can greatly affect the amount of precipitation an area receives depending on the amount of moisture they are carrying. These prevailing winds can move air masses from the ocean onto a continent bringing moisture onto the continent. ... Prevailing winds affect the climate of an area.

While an object is moving at a constant 20 m/s, a 5 N forcepushes the object to the left. At the same time, a 5 N force ispushin

Nostrana [21]

Answer: 20m/s.

Explanation:

Remember the second Newton's law:

F = a*m

This is:

The net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration of the object.

In this case, we have a force of 5N pushing the object to the right.

We also have a force of 5N pushing the object to the left.

These forces act on opposite directions.

Then the net force will be equal to the difference of these forces, this is:

F = 5N - 5N = 0N

Then the net force is 0N, then we have:

0N = m*a

0N/m = 0m/s^2 = a

This means that the acceleration of the object is 0, then the velocity of the object does not change.

This means that if the object was moving at a constant velocity of 20m/s, the velocity of the object will still be equal to 20m/s. (because the net force acting on the object is zero)

12 seconds after starting from rest a frewly falling cantaloupe has a speed of

adoni [48]

Answer:

The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

It occurs when an object falls under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon solely by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. Free-falling objects do not face air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is $g = 9.8 m/s^2$ .

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

vf=g.t

The cantaloupe has been dropped from rest. We are required to find the speed after t=12 seconds.

Calculate the final speed:

vf=9.8 * 12 = 117.6 m/s

The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s
