There is usually a clear skhy

it provides a clear shot for the heat of the sun on the sand and sand can cool very quickly so it allows the air to cool just as fast

hope i helped

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, Clear Sky

Explanation:

The temperature during the day time rises to maximum as there is no moisture in the atmosphere. The moisture being extremely low leads to formation of no clouds/or very rare clouds . Due to no clouds, sky is clear and thus the heat from the sun does not stay close to the Earth surface and it is radiated back to the maximum extent causing the temperatures at night  falling to nearly freezing.

Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the a
Naily [24]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the pencil<em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Explanation:

Using Newton's second angular law or torque to find angular acceleration, we get the following expressions:

    τ = I α                              (1)

    W r = I α                          (2)

The weight is that the pencil has is,

   sin 10 = r / (L/2)

   r = L/2(sin(10))

 

The shape of the pencil can be approximated to be a cylinder that rotates on one end and therefore its moment of inertia will be:

    I = 1/3 M L²

Thus,

   mg(L / 2)sin(10) = (1/3 m L²)(α) 

   α(f) = 3/2(g) / Lsin(10)

   α  = 3/2(9.8) / 0.150sin(10)

  <em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the pencil<em> </em>is<em> 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

A child whose weight is 276 N slides down a 5.90 m playground slide that makes an angle of 34.0° with the horizontal. The coeffi
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Frictional force acting on the child = μ mg cosθ

, μ is coefficient of kinetic friction ,  m is mass of child θ is inclination

work done by frictional force

μ mg cosθ x d , d is displacement on inclined plane

work done = .13 x 276 x cos34 x 5.9

= 175.5 J

This work will be converted into heat energy.

b ) Initial energy of child = mgh + 1/2 m v ² , h is height , v is initial velocity

= 276 x 5.9 sin34  + 1/2 x 276 / 9.8 x .518² [ mass m = 276 / g ]

= 910.59 + 3.77

= 914.36 J

loss of energy due to friction = 175.5

Net energy at the bottom

= 738.86 J

If v be the velocity at the bottom

1/2 m v² = 738 .86

.5 x (276 / 9.8) x v² = 738.86

v² = 52.47

v = 7.24 m /s .

A cylinder contains a gas at a temperature of 400K. Explain two ways that you can add energy to the gas and raise its temperatur
Lelechka [254]
Heat

You can usually warm something by adding energy. The added energy can be from light, electricity, friction, a chemical reaction, nuclear reaction, or any other kind of energy. When first added to a substance, energy might be concentrated in one atom, but this one will soon bump into others and spread the energy. Eventually, every atom or molecule in the substance will move a bit faster. When the added energy is spread throughout a substance, it is then called heat energy, thermal energy, or, simply heat. All three terms mean the same thing. Heat is a form of energy, so it has the units of energy. In the SI system, this is Joules. Many other units to measure thermal energy are in common use. Calories and BTU's are common heat units.

Temperature

You cannot measure heat directly, but you can detect its effect on a substance. Changes in heat can usually be detected as changes in temperature. Usually, when you add energy to a bunch of atoms they move faster and get hotter. Similarly, if you remove energy from a bunch of atoms, they usually move less and get cooler.
