"The burning of fossil fuels produces gases which are capable of trapping heat resulting into the current rise in the global tem
padilas [110]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Solar radiation at frequencies of visible light passes through the atmosphere, heating the planet's surface, subsequently this energy is emitted in infrared thermal radiation. This radiation is absorbed by the gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the greater the amount of these gases in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped in the earth, raising its global temperature.

A sinusoidal voltage is given by the expression ????(????)=20cos(5π×103 ????+60°) V. Determine its (a) frequency in hertz, (b) p
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

<em>There are some placeholders in the expression, but they can be safely assumed</em>

Answer:

(a) f=1617.9\ Hz

(b) T=0.618\ ms

(c) A=20 \ Volts

(d) \varphi=60^o

Explanation:

<u>Sinusoidal Waves </u>

An oscillating wave can be expressed as a sinusoidal function as follows

V(t)&=A\cdot \sin(2\pi ft+\varphi )

Where

A=Amplitude

f=frequency

\varphi=Phase\  angle

The voltage of the question is the sinusoid expression  

V(t)=20cos(5\pi\times 103t+60^o)

(a) By comparing with the general formula we have

f=5\pi\times 103=1617.9\ Hz

\boxed{f=1617.9\ Hz}

(b) The period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

\displaystyle T=\frac{1}{f}

\displaystyle T=\frac{1}{1617.9\ Hz}=0.000618\ sec

Converting to milliseconds

\boxed{T=0.618\ ms}

(c) The amplitude is

\boxed{A=20 \ Volts}

(d) Phase angle:

\boxed{\varphi=60^o}
