Time  =        (distance) / (speed)

Time  =  (150 x 10⁹ m) / (3 x 10⁸ m/s) =

                           50 x 10¹ sec  = 

                                 <em>500 sec</em>  =  8 min 20 sec

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to
Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.

Cora, an electrician, wraps a copper wire with a thick plastic coating. What is she most likely trying to do?
alukav5142 [94]
The correct answer among the choices given is the last option. Cora wrapping the copper wire with a thick plastic coating keeps a current from passing out a wire. The plastic wire here serves as an insulator. An insulator is a material that prevents electricity or current to flow out the circuit. In order to lessen the loss of energy.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

How do we use information from earths climate change data in order to engineer soulutions that reduce carbon emissions and impac
masya89 [10]

Answer:

That is a very broad question. One thing that does not seem to be considered is the depletion of the ozone layer at high altitudes.

In the 1960's chlorofluorcarbons (CFC,s) became popular as refrigerants, spray can propellants, etc.  In January 1989 the Montreal Protocol was passed which has greatly reduced the use of these substances. However, it may be several decades before the ozone layer can be replaced and again absorb harmful ulraviolet rays that may be partly responsible for the increase in global warming.  

(One chlorine atom at high altitudes can be responsible for the destruction of 100,000 molecules of ozone - catalytic reaction)

If you lie on the ground at night with no cover, you get cold rather quickly. Much of this is due to energy loss by radiation. A
marin [14]

Answer:

301.48 J/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Temperature of the sky dropping to −40∘C: T_o = -40°C = -40 + 273 = 233 K

Temperature of your skin and clothes: T = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 K

Body surface area of human body is around 2 m². But here only half of the body is facing the sky, Thus Area is: A = 2/2 = 1 m²

To solve this, we will use the equation for thermal heat transfer known as the Stefan bolt Mann equation.

ΔQ/Δt = εσA(T⁴ - (T_o)⁴)

Where;

ΔQ/Δt is the rate at which you body loses energy by radiation

ε is the emissivity of the human body with a value of 0.97

σ is Stefan boltzmann constant with a value of 5.67 X 10^(-8) W/m².K⁴

Thus;

ΔQ/Δt = 0.97 × 5.67 X 10^(-8) × 1(303⁴ - 233⁴)

ΔQ/Δt = 301.48 J/s
