A woman walks in a straight line with the sun to her right at six o'clock in the morning.

The sun rises East of her, so the woman is walking toward the North pole.

A man walks in a straight line with the sun to his right at six o'clock in the evening.

The sun sets West of him, so the man is walking toward the South pole.

The woman and the man are both walking along lines of constant longitude.

Chose the word that correctly completes the following sentence: Kirchoff's junction law expresses the conservation of ____. a) m

Radda [10]

Answer:A- mass charge.

This can also be called current.

Explanation:

This is Kirchhoff’s 2nd law.

Kirchhoff’s junction law states that the sum of current(mass charge) flowing in and out of the junction must be equal to zero. This law emphasizes conservation of charge and energy. Charge is also a form of energy and it can neither be created nor destroyed.

As shown in the diagram, two forces act on an object. The forces have magnitudes F1 = 5.7 N and F2 = 1.9 N. What third force wil

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Second option 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

Explanation:

Observe the attached image. We must calculate the sum of all the forces in the direction x and in the direction y and equal the sum of the forces to 0.

For the address x we have:

$-F_3sin(b) + F_1 = 0$

For the address and we have:

$-F_3cos(b) + F_2 = 0$

The forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ are known

$F_1 = 5.7\ N\\\\F_2 = 1.9\ N$

We have 2 unknowns ( $F_3$ and b) and we have 2 equations.

Now we clear $F_3$ from the second equation and introduce it into the first equation.

$F_3 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}$

Then

$-\frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)+F_1 = 0\\\\F_1 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)\\\\F_1 = F_2tan(b)\\\\tan(b) = \frac{F_1}{F_2}\\\\tan(b) = \frac{5.7}{1.9}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{5.7}{1.9}) = b\\\\b= 72\°\\\\m = b +90\\\\\m= 162\°$

Then we find the value of $F_3$

$F_3 = \frac{F_1}{sin(b)}\\\\F_3 =\frac{5.7}{sin(72\°)}\\\\F_3 = 6.01 N$

Finally the answer is 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

The intensity of sunlight falling on the earth is about 1.4 kw/m2 (before any gets absorbed by our atmosphere). at what rate doe

xxTIMURxx [149]

The area of the Earth (Ae) that is irradiated by is given by:

Ae = 4πRe^2, where Re = Distance from Sun to Earth
Substituting;
Ae = 4π*(1.5*10^8*1000)^2 = 2.827*10^23 m^2

On the Earth, insolation (We) = Psun/Ae

Therefore,
Psun (Rate at which sun emits energy) = We*Ae = 1.4*2.827*10^23 = 3.958*10^23 kW = 3.958*10^26 W

What does the mass defect represent?

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

C.) The amount of mass used up in holding a nucleus together.

Explanation:

The mass defect of a nucleus represents the mass of the energy binding the nucleus. It is the difference between the mass of the nucleus and the sum of the masses of the nucleons of which it is composed.
