_____ 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.

One of the brightest nebulae in the night sky, the Orion Nebula may be seen with the unaided eye. The Trapezium is a young open cluster of four main stars in this magnitude 4 interstellar cloud of ionized atomic hydrogen.

<h3>What is the source of the Orion Nebula's crimson glow?</h3>

The hydrogen gas in the Orion Nebula, which is powered by radiation from young stars, gives off a crimson tint. The nebula's blue-violet regions are reflecting radiation from bright, blue-white O-type stars while the red areas are emitting light.
The Orion Nebula is one of many massive clouds of gas and dust in our Milky Way galaxy, say contemporary astronomers, and is one of the largest. It is approximately 1,300 light years away from Earth. This enormous hazy cocoon, which measures approximately 30 to 40 light-years in diameter, is generating potentially a thousand stars.

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.

zzz [600]

Answer:

1000 Hz

Explanation:

<em>The frequency would be 1000 Hz.</em>

The frequency, wavelength, and speed of a wave are related by the equation:

where v = speed of the wave, f = frequency of the wave, and λ = wavelength of the wave.

Making f the subject of the formula:

Also, speed (v) = distance/time.

From the question, distance = 900 m, time = 3.0 s

Hence, v = 900/3.0 = 300 m/s

Substitute v = 300 and λ = 0.3 into equation (2):

f = 300/0.3 = 1000 Hz

A person is standing on a raft; their

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The volume of water displaced by the raft is 0.233 m³

Explanation:

The question relates to Archimedes' principle which states that the buoyant force experienced by an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of (the force of gravity on) the displaced fluid

The given parameters are;

The combined mass of the person and the raft, m = 233 kg

The liquid on which the raft is located = Water

The density of water, $\rho _{water}$ = 1000 kg/m³

Weight = Mass, m × g

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Given that the raft is on the surface of the water (floating), the buoyant force is equal to the combined weight of the person and the raft = 233 kg

The combined weight of the person and the raft, $W_{combined}$ = 233 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 2,283.4 N

Therefore;

The buoyant force = 2,283.4 N = The weight of the water displaced

The mass of the water displaced, $m_{water}$ , = 2,283.4 N/(9.8 m/s²) = 233 kg

Density = Mass/Volume

The volume of water displaced by the raft = The mass of the water displaced/(The density of the water) = 233 kg/(1,000 kg/m³) = 0.233 m³.

A skier of mass 82.9 kg starts from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of height 20 m. At the bottom of the incline, the

ehidna [41]

Answer: 170.67 N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of skier is $m=82.9\ kg$

Height of the inclination is $h=20\ m$

Here, the potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy which is consumed by the friction force by applying a constant force that does work to stop the skier.

$\Rightarrow mgh=F\cdot x\quad \quad [\text{F=constant friction force}]\\\\\Rightarrow 82.9\times 9.8\times 20=F\cdot 95.2\\\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{16,248.4}{95.2}\\\\\Rightarrow F=170.67\ N$

Thus, the horizontal friction force is 170.67 N.
