What is the fate of solar radiation that reaches the earth?

1 answer:

6 0

When solar radiation reaches the Earth it quickly dissipates as most of the radiation and UV rays are blocked by ozone layer, but more radiation and UV rays are able to get through because of global warming.

What does the term “energy crisis” mean?

Zielflug [23.3K]

An energy crisis is any significant (bottleneck; logistics; or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. In popular literature, it often refers to one of the energy sources used at a certain time and place, in particular those that supply national electricity grids or those used as fuel in vehicles.

Write a hypothesis for Part II of the lab, which is about the relationship described by F = ma. In the lab, you will use a toy c

Temka [501]

Answer:

F=ma is the relationship where, F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

Newton's second law states that the unbalanced force applied to the object accelerates the object which is directly proportional to the force and inversely to the mass.

If we apply force to a toy car then It will accelerate.

This is how Newton's second law of motion is verified.

Which of the following represents a fully plastic collision? 1. Two billiard balls hit each other then move in opposite directio

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

Perfectly elastic collision: the collision in which the momentum and kinetic energy is conserved. There is no loss of energy in other forms of energy.

Perfectly plastic collision: The collision in which the momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. The two bodies stick after the collision.

Here, the bullet hits the block and then embedded in the block, it is the example of plastic collision.

a body of a mass 1kg suspended from a spring is found to stretch the spring by 10cm. (A) what is the spring constant? what is pe

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

(A) The spring constant is 98 N/m.

(B) The period of oscillation is 0.635 s.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the body is, $m=1\ kg$

Extension length of the spring is, $x=10\ cm=0.1\ m$

Now, let 'k' be the spring constant.

The force acting on the body is due to gravity only and is equal to its weight.

So, weight of the body is given as:

$F_g=mg\\F_g=1\times 9.8\\F_g=9.8\ N$

Now, we know that for a spring-mass system, the net force acting on the body is equal to the product of the spring constant and extension length. Therefore,

$F_g=kx\\9.8=k(0.1)\\k=\frac{9.8}{0.1}=98\ N/m$

Hence, the spring constant is 98 N/m.

(B)

Period of oscillation of a body of spring-mass system in SHM is given as:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

Plug in the given values and solve for period 'T'. This gives,

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{1}{98}}\\T=2\pi\times 0.101\\T=0.635\ s$

Therefore, the period of oscillation is 0.635 s.
