Why not ? ? ?
If you can get the money, the laboratory to use, the experimental
equipment, and the people you need to work on it with you, then
curiosity is a fine, honorable, and perfectly good reason to go ahead,
do what you gotta do, follow your heart, satisfy your curiosity, and learn
new stuff.

How does radiation transfer thermal energy from the Sun to Earth?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The thermal energy is carried by electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

There are three types of transfer of heat (thermal energy):

- Conduction: conduction occurs when two objects/two substances are in contact with each other. The heat is transferred from the hotter object to the colder object by the collisions between the molecules of the two mediums.

- Convection: convection occurs when a fluid is heated by an external source of heat. The part of the fluid closer to the heat source gets warmer, therefore it becomes less dense and it rises, and it is replaced by the colder part of the fluid, which is colder. Then, this part of fluid is heated as well, so it gets warmer, it rises, etc.. in a cycle.

- Radiation: radiation occurs when thermal energy is carried by electromagnetic waves. Since electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is the only method of heat transfer that can occur through a vacuum (so, in space as well).

Indeed, the Sun emits a lot of electromagnetic radiation, which travels through space and eventually reaches the Earth, heating it.

Describe what a convection current is in how it was material than the earth
Leona [35]
The movement of fluid as a result of differential heating or convection. Earth convection currents refer to the motion of molten rock in the mantle as radioactive decay heats up magma, causing it to rise and driving the global scale flow of magma.

For the PE formula, why is the height required for calculations? Why do we need to know the height in order to determine PE? *
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Explanation:

Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>

The derivation of this formula is as follows:

Work = Force * Displacement

For gravitational potential energy:

Work = P.E

Force = Weight = mg

Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h

Therefore,

P.E = mgh
