Why does th ground and atmosphere get warm during the day

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The Greenhouse Effect Revisited. When solar energy strikes the planet during the day, the ground, highways and other objects get hot and absorb that energy. As the sun goes down, the Earth cools by giving off infrared radiation. Because greenhouse gases absorb part of this radiation, the atmosphere warms and keeps the Earth from getting too cold.

An electric bulb is marked 40volts ,230w another bulb is marked 40w,110v

Andrej [43]

Answer:

a. The ratio of their resistance is 2783:64

b. The ratio of their energy is 4:23

c. The charge on the first bulb is 5.75 C

The charge on the second bulb is $0.\overline {36}$ C

Explanation:

The voltage on one of the electric bulbs, V₁ = 40 volts

The power rating of the bulb, P₁ = 230 w

The voltage on the other electric bulbs, V₂ = 110 volts

The power rating of the bulb, P₂ = 40 w

a. The power is given by the formula, P = I·V = V²/R

Therefore, R = V²/P

For the first bulb, the resistance, R₁ = 40²/230 ≈ 6.96

The resistance of the second bulb, R₂ = 110²/40

The ratio of their resistance, R₂/R₁ = (110²/40)/(40²/230) = 2783/64

∴ The ratio of their resistance, R₂:R₁ = 2783:64

b. The energy of a bulb, E = t × P

Where;

t = The time in which the bulb is powered on

∴ The energy of the first bulb, E₁ = 230 w × t

The energy of the second bulb, E₂ = 40 w × t

The ratio of their energy, E₂/E₁ = (40 w × t)/(230 w × t) = 4/23

∴ The ratio of their energy, E₂:E₁ = 4:23

c. The charge on a bulb, 'Q', is given by the formula, Q = I × t

Where;

I = The current flowing through the bulb

From P = I·V, we get;

I = P/V

For the first bulb, the current, I = 230 w/40 V = 5.75 amperes

The charge on the first bulb per second (t = 1) is therefore;

Q₁ = 5.75 A × 1 s = 5.75 C

The charge on the first bulb, Q₁ = 5.75 C

Similarly, the charge on the second bulb, Q₂ = (40 W/110 V) × 1 s = $0.\overline {36}$ C

The charge on the second bulb, Q₂ = $0.\overline {36}$ C.

Energy is conserved. This means that in any system, _________. a) energy is constantly recycled b) total energy input equals tot

tangare [24]

Answer:

b) total energy input equals total energy output

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is a generalization of the conservation of energy in thermal processes. It is based on Joule's conclusion that heat and energy are equivalent. But to get there you have to get around some traps along the way.

From Joule's conclusion we might be tempted to call heat "internal" energy associated with temperature. We could then add heat to the potential and kinetic energies of a system, and call this sum the total energy, which is what it would conserve. In fact, this solution works well for a wide variety of phenomena, including Joule's experiments. Problems arise with the idea of heat "content" of a system. For example, when a solid is heated to its melting point, an additional "heat input" causes the melting but without increasing the temperature. With this simple experiment we see that simply considering the thermal energy measured only by a temperature increase as part of the total energy of a system will not give a complete general law.

Instead of "heat," we can use the concept of internal energy, that is, an energy in the system that can take forms not directly related to temperature. We can then use the word "heat" to refer only to a transfer of energy between a system and its environment. Similarly, the term work will not be used to describe something contained in the system, but describes a transfer of energy from one system to another. Heat and work are, therefore, two ways in which energy is transferred, not energies.

In an isolated system, that is, a system that does not exchange matter or energy with its surroundings, the total energy must remain constant. If the system exchanges energy with its environment but not matter (what is called a closed system), it can do so only in two ways: a transfer of energy either in the form of work done on or by the system, either in the form of heat to or from the system. In the event that there is energy transfer, the change in the energy of the system must be equal to the net energy gained or lost by the environment.

Explain how a compass works using scientific terminology.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

A compass works by detecting and responding to the Earth's natural magnetic fields. The Earth has an iron core that is part liquid and part solid crystal, due to gravitational pressure. It is believed that movement in the liquid outer core is what produces the Earth's magnetic field.
