deff fn [24]

Answer:

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement of the particle from the mean position is 1/5 times of its amplitude

so we have

$y = A sin\omega t$

$y = \frac{A}{5}$

so now we have

$\frac{A}{5} = A sin\omega t$

now we have

$\theta_1 = 11.53 degree$

so the phase other particle in opposite direction is given as

$\theta_2 = 180 - 11.53 = 168.46 degree$

so we have phase difference given as

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 168.46 - 11.53$

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ

liq [111]

Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.

Two small metal spheres are 25 cm apaft.The spheres have equal amount of negative charge and repel each other with a force of 0.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

$0.5\times 10^{-6}C$

Explanation:

According to coulombs law force between two charges is given by $F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2}$ here R is the distance between both the charges which is given as 25 cm

We have given force F =0.036 N

So $0.036=\frac{1}{4\pi \times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\frac{Q^2}{(0.25^2)}$ As $\epsilon _0$ is constant which value is $8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$Q^2=0.250\times 10^{-12}$

$Q=0.5\times 10^{-6}C$
