Answer: radiated heat fron the Sun being absorbed by the ground.

Explanation: During the day the Sun is "shining", this means that the sun is "emanating" electromagnetic waves (some in form of visible light, this is why in the day we can see a lot of light) that reach us in the Earth. Those electromagnetic waves carry with a lot of energy, and when they impact the ground, they transmit that energy in form of heat. This "transmission" of temperature is called "radiation", so the correct option is the third one; radiated heat from the Sun is absorbed by the ground.

Calculate the orbital period of a dwarf planet found to have a semimajor axis of a = 4.0x 10^12 meters in seconds and years.
padilas [110]

Explanation:

We have,

Semimajor axis is 4\times 10^{12}\ m

It is required to find the orbital period of a dwarf planet. Let T is time period. The relation between the time period and the semi major axis is given by Kepler's third law. Its mathematical form is given by :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{GM}a^3

G is universal gravitational constant

M is solar mass

Plugging all the values,

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.98\times 10^{30}}\times (4\times 10^{12})^3\\\\T=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.98\times10^{30}}\times(4\times10^{12})^{3}}\\\\T=4.37\times 10^9\ s

Since,

1\ s=3.17\times 10^{-8}\ \text{years}\\\\4.37\times 10^9\ s=4.37\cdot10^{9}\cdot3.17\cdot10^{-8}\\\\4.37\times 10^9\ s=138.52\ \text{years}

So, the orbital period of a dwarf planet is 138.52 years.

A simple series circuit consists of a 120 Ω resistor, a 21.0 V battery, a switch, and a 3.50 pF parallel-plate capacitor (initia
slega [8]

Answer

Integral EdA = Q/εo =C*Vc(t)/εo = 3.5e-12*21/εo = 4.74 V∙m <----- A)

Vc(t) = 21(1-e^-t/RC) because an uncharged capacitor is modeled as a short.

ic(t) = (21/120)e^-t/RC -----> ic(0) = 21/120 = 0.175A <----- B)

Q(0.5ns) = CVc(0.5ns) = 2e-12*21*(1-e^-t/RC) = 30.7pC

30.7pC/εo = 3.47 V∙m <----- C)

ic(0.5ns) = 29.7ma <----- D)

A hot-air balloon is rising upward with a constant speed of 2.85 m/s. When the balloon is 2.50 m above the ground, the balloonis
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You have to declare which way is plus -- up or down. I will use down.

vi = - 2.85       The balloon is going up. That is the minus direction.

a = 9.81

d =   2.50 meters  distance in this case is from the object to the ground.

d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2

-2.50 = -2.85*t + 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

-2.50 = -2.85*t + 4.905 * t^2           transfer the left to the right.

-4.905 t^2 + 2.85*t + 2.50 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve for t.

It turns out that t = 1.06

Which explains why conduction is unlikely when ice is placed on a freezer shelf? There is no direct contact. The ice is too cold
Ghella [55]

Answer: The ice and shel are at the same temperature.

Explanation: Conduction happens when you have two objects at different temperatures touching each other, in this case, the temperature flows from the hot object to the cold one, until the equilibrium is reached (this means that both objects are at the same temperature). So, in order to conduction to happen, we need a difference in temperature and direct contact. So there are two options of the given that can be the answer: "There is no direct contact" In the sentence says that "the ice is placed on the freezer shelf", so we have direct contact between both objects. "The ice and shelf are at the same temperature" Here both objects are inside of the freezer, so we can expect that both of them are at the same temperature, hence, there is no conduction.
