Great question!

Thunder and lightning happen at the same time, but because light travels faster than sound, we see lightning before we hear thunder.

Because the light from it travels to you about 874 thousand times
as fast as the sound does, so the hearing part falls behind the seeing
part.

Place the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order from LOWEST energy
Alex

Placing the electromagnetic radiation in order from the lowest energy to the highest energy :  ( 2 ) C,A,B

<h3>Electromagnetic spectrum </h3>

In the electromagnetic spectrum the electromagnetic radiation with the shorter wavelength possess a higher energy while the electromagnetic radiation with a longer wavelength possess the lower energy.

The electromagnetic radiation as listed in the question with the longest wavelength is the radio waves therefore it possess the lowest energy while the radiation with the shortest wavelength is the gamma rays therefore it possess the highest energy.

Hence we can conclude that Placing the electromagnetic radiation in order from the lowest energy to the highest energy :  ( 2 ) C,A,B

You observe that a negatively charged plastic pen repels a charged piece of magic tape. You then observe that the same piece of
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(2) The excess negative charge from the sphere spread out all over your body.

(7) After you touched it, the metal sphere was very nearly neutral.

Explanation:

Plastic pen repels magic tape so magic tape is also  negatively charged . Further , magic tape repels small metal sphere that means small sphere also is negatively charged.

Now when small sphere is touched by a man insulated from ground , the charge is distributed between man and small sphere according to their capacitance .

Since human body will have greater capacitance ,it will acquire larger share of charge . Sphere being of very small size will retain very less charge and it will become almost neutral . Hence it will be   attracted by  charged tape .

A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 12 degrees with the horizontal. The rope moves
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

  • Work done by the rope 900 m/s.
  • Angle of inclination of the slope = \theta\ =\ 12^o
  • Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s
  • Length of the inclined surface = d = 8.0 m

part (a)

The rope is doing the work against the gravity on the skier to uplift up to the inclined surface. Therefore the work done by the rope is equal to the work done on the skier due to the gravity

\therefore W_r\ =\ W_g\ =\ 900\ J

In both cases the height attained by the skier is equal. and the work done by gravity does not depend upon the speed of the skier.

part (b)

  • Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 1.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 112.5\ Watt

Part (c)

  • Initial speed of the skier = v = 2.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 2.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 225\ Watt

At what time of year is the intensity of solar radiation striking each of earth's hemispheres weakest?
bagirrra123 [75]
<span>During winter for a given hemisphere, solar radiation reaches the lowest period of its annual cycle due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. As the earth rotates around the sun, this tilt occludes a portion of the energy released by the sun as it diffuses in the atmosphere.</span>
