Answer:

The energy contained is 5.856 x 10⁻⁶ J

Explanation:

Average energy density of electromagnetic radiation per unit volume is given by the equation;

U_{avg} = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon _o E_o²

where;

\epsilon _o is permittivity of free space

E_o is maximum electric field strength, this can be calculated from the intensity of sun reaching the Earth's surface.

E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2I}{\epsilon_o C} }

The intensity of sun reaching the Earth is 1350 W/m²

E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2*1350}{8.885*10^{-12}*3*10^8 } } \\\\E_o = 1008.96  \  V/m\\

Average energy density of electromagnetic radiation per unit volume;

U_{avg} = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_o E_o^2\\\\U_{avg} = \frac{1}{2} (8.85*10^{-12})(1008.96)^2\\\\U_{avg} = 4.505 *10^{-6} \ J/m^3

The energy contained in a 1.30 m³ volume is given by;

E = (4.505 x 10⁻⁶)(1.3)

E = 5.856 x 10⁻⁶ J

Therefore, the energy contained is 5.856 x 10⁻⁶ J

At exactly 3:14PM, the velocity of a dog running in a park points toward a group of flowers. Which of the following best describ
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Options A, B, and C are all possible.

Explanation:

We know that the instantaneous velocity of the dog at 3:14PM is possitive to toward the flowers. But what about the acceleration to toward the flowers?

If the dog is decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is negative toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points away from the flowers.

If the dog is increasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is positive toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points toward the flowers.

If the dog is not increasing nor decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is 0, hence (since F=ma) the net force is null and it does not point neighter to toward the flowers  nor away from the flowers. This happens when the forces acting on the dog are equal to both sides.

A bike first accelerates from 0.0m/s to 4.5m/s in 4.5 s, the continues at this constant speed for another 6.0 s. What is the tot
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

37.125 m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

s=ut+0.5at^{2} where s is distance, u is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration

<u>Distance during acceleration</u>

Acceleration, a=\frac {V_{final}-V_{initial}}{t} where V_{final} is final velocity and V_{initial} is initial velocity.

Substituting 0.0 m/s for initial velocity and 4.5 m/s for final velocity, acceleration will be

a=\frac {4.5 m/s-0 m/s}{4.5 s}=1 m/s^{2}

Then substituting u for 0 m/s, t for 4.5 s and a for 1 m/s^{2} into the equation of motion

s=0*4.5+ 0.5*1*4.5^{2}=0+10.125 =10.125 m

<u>Distance at a constant speed</u>

At a constant speed, there's no acceleration and since speed=distance/time then distance is speed*time

Distance=4.5 m/s*6 s=27 m

<u>Total distance</u>

Total=27+10.125=37.125 m

What is kirchoff s law???
kolbaska11 [484]
There are two laws named for Kirchhoff.  The both concern electrical circuits.
Here they are in my own words:

1).  The sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is zero.

2).  The sum of the currents at any single point in a circuit is zero.
