_____ energy powers the water cycle. Geothermal Solar Latent Electric

2 answers:

6 0

Solar energy is the correct answer. Two of the processes that make up the water cycle need solar energy and these include:

1. Transpiration- as plants absorb water from the soil, the soil, the water moves through the stem to the leaves . Once the water reaches the leaves , some of it evaporates from the leaves, adding to the amount of water vapor in the air. This process of evaporation from the leaves is known as transpiration and requires warmth of the sun (heat energy) to make temperatures jut right for it to take place

2. Evaporation- water that has returned to earth through precipitation and found in rivers, lakes, sea, and ponds when heated by the sun's thermal (solar) heat energy evaporates and as water vapor rises again into the atmosphere.

A tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground. The ball leaves his racquet with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle 5.0 ∘ above t

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial height, yo = 2 m

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

angle of projection,θ = 5 degree

distance of net = 7 m

height of net = 1 m

Let it covers a vertical distance y in time t .

Use Second equation of motion for vertical motion

$y=y_{0}+uSin\theta t-1/2 gt^{2}$

$y=2+20Sin5 t-4.9t^{2}$

As it hits the ground in time t, so put y = 0

$0=2+1.74 t-4.9t^{2}$

$4.9t^{2}-1.74t-2=0$

$t= \frac{1.74\pm\sqrt{1.74^{2}+4\times\2\times4.9}}{9.8}$

Taking positive sign, t = 0.84 s

The ball travels a horizontal distance x in time t

X = 20 Cos5 x t

X = 16.76 m

As this distance is more than the distance of net, so it clears the net.

Let t' be the time taken to travel a horizontal distance equal to the distance of net

7 = 20 cos5 x t'

t' = 0.35 s

Let the vertical distance traveled by the ball in time t' is y'.

So,

$y'=y_{0}+uSin\theta t'-1/2 gt'^{2}$

$y'=2+20Sin5 t-4.9\times0.35^{2}$

y' = 2.008 m

So, it clears the net which is 1 m high.

It clears the net by a vertical distance of 2.008 - 1 = 1.008 m and horizontal distance 16.76 - 7 = 9.76 m

Certain insects can achieve seemingly impossible accelerations while jumping. the click beetle accelerates at an astonishing 400

hichkok12 [17]

(a) The launching velocity of the beetle is 6.4 m/s

(b) The time taken to achieve the speed for launch is 1.63 ms

(a) The beetle starts from rest and accelerates with an upward acceleration of 400 g and reaches its launching speed in a distance 0.53 cm. Here g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Here, the initial velocity of the beetle is u, its final velocity is v, the acceleration of the beetle is a, and the beetle accelerates over a distance s.

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 0.52×10⁻²m for s.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ = (0 m/s)^2+2 (400)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.52*10^-^2 m)\\ =40.768 (m/s)^2\\ v=6.385 m/s$

The launching speed of the beetle is 6.4 m/s.

(b) To determine the time t taken by the beetle for launching itself upwards is determined by using the equation of motion,

$v=u+at$

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 6.385 m/s for v.

$v=u+at\\ 6.385 m/s = (0 m/s) +400(9.8 m/s^2)t\\ t = \frac{6.385 m/s}{3920 m/s^2} = 1.63*10^-^3s=1.63 ms$

The time taken by the beetle to launch itself upwards is 1.62 ms.

(c) After the beetle launches itself upwards, it is acted upon by the earth's gravitational force, which pulls it downwards towards the earth with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity g. Its velocity reduces and when it reaches the maximum height in its path upwards, its final velocity becomes equal to zero.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Substitute 6.385 m/s for u, -9.8 m/s² for g and 0 m/s for v.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ (0m/s)^2=(6.385 m/s)^2+2(-9.8m/s^2)s\\ s=\frac{(6.385 m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =2.08 m$

The beetle can jump to a height of 2.1 m

The inner planets are different from the outer planets mainly because they are:.

amm1812

Answer:

The inner planets are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. The outer planets are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas. The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus , Earth and Mars.

During the winter, the Northern Hemisphere tilted away from the sun, receiving solar radiation at more of an angle. This results in colder temperatures and more extreme temperature changes.
