Answer:

it is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the case when approx 50% only of the solar energy would be directed towards earth and it would be penetrates directly to the surface so the rest or remaining of the radiation would be either absorbed or refected by the atmosphere

So as per the given situation the above represent the answer

hence, the same is to be considered and relevant

A small branch is wedged under a 200 kg rock and rests on a smaller object. The smaller object is 2.0 m from the large rock and
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a

  F  =326.7 \ N

b

  M  = 6

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

          The mass of the rock is  m_r  =  200 \ kg

          The  length of the small object from the rock is  d  =  2 \ m

          The  length of the small object from the branch l  =  12 \ m

An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image

Here the small object acts as a fulcrum

The  force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

      W =  m_r *  g

substituting values

     W =   200 *  9.8

     W =   1960 \ N

 So  at  equilibrium the sum  of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

         \sum  M_f  =  F * cos \theta *  l  -  W cos\theta  *  d =  0

Here  \theta is very small so  cos\theta  *  l  =  l

                               and  cos\theta  *  d  =  d

Hence

       F *   l  -  W  * d =  0

=>    F  = \frac{W * d}{l}

substituting values

        F  = \frac{1960 *  2}{12}

       F  =326.7 \ N

The  mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

          M  = \frac{W}{F}

substituting values

        M  = \frac{1960}{326.7}

       M  = 6

PLEASE HELP Due Soon!
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:  

When objects collide, energy can be transferred from one object to another, thereby changing their motion. In such collisions, some energy is typically also transferred to the surrounding air; as a result, the air gets heated and sound is produced.
