Answer:

100% of the energy entering earth's atmosphere comes from the sun. ~50% of the incoming energy is absorbed by the earth's surface i.e. the land and oceans.

At the race track, one race car starts its engine with a resulting intensity level of 104.0 dB at point P. Then 6 more cars star
dem82 [27]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to sound intensity. The most common approach to sound intensity measurement is to use the decibel scale:

\beta (dB) = 10log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_0})

Where,

I_0 = 1*10^{-12} is a reference intensity. It is the lowest or threshold intensity of sound a person with normal hearing can perceive at a frequency of 1000 Hz.

I = Sound intensity

Our values are given by,

\beta = 104dB

\#Autos = 7

For each auto the intensity would be,

104 = 10log\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}

10.4= log_{10} (\frac{I}{10^{-12}})

10^{10.4}*10^{-12}=I

I = 0.02511W/m^2

Therefore the sound intesity for the 7 autos is

I= 7* 0.02511

I = 0.1748W/m^2

The sound level for the 7 cars in dB is

\beta (dB) = 10log_{10}(\frac{0.1748}{1*10^{-12}})

\beta (dB) = 112.42dB

What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two recording station?
denpristay [2]

<span>If you have only two data from two recording stations then you will be having a hard time finding the correct location of the epicenter. This is because triangulation method requires 3 recording station. If you have 2 recording station, the 2 circles will intersect at 2 points giving you 2 locations that could possibly be the epicenter.</span>

An asteroid orbiting the Sun has a mass of 4.00×1016 kg. At a particular instant, it experiences a gravitational force of 3.14×1
Ksivusya [100]
<h2>The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun</h2>

Explanation:

We have gravitational force

                 F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

           Where G =  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

                       M = Mass of body 1

                       M = Mass of body 2

                       r = Distance between them

Here we have

                 M = Mass of Sun = 1.99×10³⁰ kg

                 m = Mass of asteroid = 4.00×10¹⁶ kg

                 F = 3.14×10¹³ N

Substituting

                   F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\\3.14\times 10^{13}=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}\times 4\times 10^{16}}{r^2}\\\\r=4.11\times 10^{11}m

The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun

A 20.0-kg rock is dropped and hits the ground at a speed of 90.0 m/s. Calculate the rock’s gravitational potential energy before
KonstantinChe [14]
Answer:

<span>GPE=81000J or 81kJ</span>

Explanation

Potential Energy = mgh = 20 x 9.8 x ? 

<span>To find H use one of the equation of motion </span>

<span>= [(90)^2 - 0 ] / 2(9.8) </span>

<span>Potential Energy = mgh = 20 x 9.8 x 8100 /2(9.8) = 81000 J</span>

PART 2 OF ENERGY AND FORCES UNIT TEST
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

1. at least two charged interacting parts

2. from the electric fields of charged subatomic particles

3 an arrow released from the bow

4Electrical fields of charged particles interact, bonding those with opposite charges.

5 the interaction of the electric fields of protons and electrons

6 The energy stored in the system increases.

7 Kinetic energy increases because the magnets move in the direction of the field.

8 Iron pieces accelerate toward the magnet, and the energy stored in the system decreases.

9  

The energy stored in the field decreases because the magnet moves in the direction of the field.

10 The energy stored increases and then decreases.

11 The wire was not connected to the source.

12  The electromagnet will become more powerful.

the rest are written, hope this helps (:
