If the Sun were scaled down to the size of a grapefruit, about how far would you have to walk from our classroom to reach Alpha

Centauri, the closest star?
Physics
1 answer:
Burka [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

2000 miles.

Explanation:

It's the Colorado scale model, in which sun is taken as the grapefruit and the distances are measured for different planets with respect to sun just for understanding.

Umar has two copper pans, each containing 500cm3 of water. Pan A has a mass of 750g and pan B has a mass of 1.5kg. Which pan wil
Olin [163]

Answer:

heat required in pan B is more than pan A

Explanation:

Heat required to raise the temperature of the substance is given by the formula

Q = ms\Delta T

now we know that both pan contains same volume of water while the mass of pan is different

So here heat required to raise the temperature of water in Pan A is given as

Q_1 = (m_w s_w + m_ps_p)\delta T

Q_1 = (0.5(4186) + 0.750(s))\Delta T

Now similarly for other pan we have

Q_2 = (m_w s_w + m_ps_p)\delta T

Q_2 = (0.5(4186) + 1.50(s))\Delta T

So here by comparing the two equations we can say that heat required in pan B is more than pan A

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet
expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

also the PE is given as function of position as

PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

A^2 - x^2 = x^2

2x^2 = A^2

x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}

f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}

f_k = \frac{8}{9}

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

f_{PE} = 1 - f_k

f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9

Water vapor enters the atmosphere through
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Heat from the Sun causes water to evaporate from the surface of lakes and oceans. This turns the liquid water into water vapor in the atmosphere. Plants, too, help water get into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration! ... Water can also get into the atmosphere from snow and ice.

Most water vapor enters the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when a single water molecule on a liquid water surface gains enough kinetic energy (often by solar radiation) to break the bond which holds the molecules together. Really Hopes this helps!
