The total power consumption by all humans on earth is approximately 1013 W. Let’s compare this to the power of incoming solar ra

diation. The intensity of radiation from the sun at the top of the atmosphere is 1380 W/m2. The earth's radius is 6.37×106 m.

Answer:

Power coming from solar radiations is 6.94 * 10^14 times higher that the power consumption of all humans.

Explanation:

Intensity of sunlight = I = 1380 w/m^2

Area of earth  = A = 4*pi*r^2 = 4*pi*(6.37*10^6)^2 = 5.09*10^14 m^2

he intensity is defined as the total power spread over the area of earth (Area of Sphere with radius equal to distance between earth and sun) and given by the following formula:

                        Intenity of sunlight = Power/Area of earth

                                                 I = P/A

                                                 P = IA

                                                 P = (1380)(5.09*10^14)

                                                 P =  7.036*10^17 W

if we take ratio:

                                                 7.036*10^17/1013 = 6.94 * 10^14

Hence, power coming from solar radiations is 6.94 * 10^14 times higher that the power consumption of all humans.

Hi Spycn2115


Newton's first law states that objects in motion stay in motion until an unbalanced force is acted upon it is a good fact. When I first personally heard of it in class I had no clue but when I researched it I learned that one good example of this would be those cradle balls and if u swing it, it will keep constantly hitting each other back and fourth over and over until someone grabs it and stops it, so that's what objects in motion stays in motion until an unbalanced force is acted upon it means, because the balls are in motion by moving left to right constantly and its staying in motion by not stopping and that unbalanced force is someone or something maybe hitting it or knocking it over could stop it, balanced means staying still and equal, unbalanced means unstill so moving, the cradle balls are KE and PE, (Kinect and potential energy) because kinetic means moving, so the balls are moving, and potential means stored up, so before u even swing u have the potential energy to swing it different ways before it becomes kinetic. That's one of my favorite examples of Newton's first law and I left you a pic below of cradle balls to help you get the idea.

A car increases its speed from 20km/hr to 50km/hr in seconds. Its acceleration is _____.
mash [69]

Answer:

Option D

0.83 m/s2

Explanation:

Time is assumed as 10 seconds

First, convert the speeds from km/h to m/s

20 km/h\times \frac {1000 m}{3600 s}=5.555555556 m/s \approx 5.56 m/s

50 km/h\times \frac {1000 m}{3600 s}=13.88888889  m/s \approx 13.89 m/s

Acceleration, a=\frac {v-u}{t} where u and v are the initial and final velocities respectively, t is the time taken to accelerate.

Substituting 13.89 m/s for v, 5.56 m/s for u and 10 s for t then

a=\frac {13.89-5.56}{10}=0.8333333 m/s^{2}\approx 0.83 m/s^{2}
