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 string with a mass density of 3 * 10^-3 kg/m is under a tension of 380 N and is fixed at both ends. One of its resonance frequ
Delvig [45]

Answer:

(a) the fundamental frequency of this string is 65 Hz

(b) the harmonics of the given frequencies are third and fourth respectively.

(c) the length of the string is 2.74 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass density of the string, μ = 3 x 10⁻³ kg/m

tension of the string, T = 380 N

resonating frequencies, 195 Hz and 260 N

For the given resonant frequencies;

195 = \frac{n}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } ---(1)\\\\260 = \frac{n+1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } ---(2)\\\\divide \ (2) \ by (1)\\\\\frac{260}{195} = \frac{n+1 }{n} \\\\260n = 195(n+1)\\\\260 n = 195 n + 195\\\\260n - 195n = 195\\\\65n = 195\\\\n = \frac{195}{65} \\\\n = 3

(c) From any of the equations, solve for Length of the string (L);

195 = \frac{n}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\195 = \frac{3}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{380}{3\times 10^{-3}} } \\\\l = \frac{3}{2\times 195}\sqrt{\frac{380}{3\times 10^{-3}} }\\\\l = 2.74 \ m

(a) the fundamental frequency is calculated as;

f_o = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\f_o = \frac{1}{2\times 2.74} \sqrt{\frac{380}{3\times 10^{-3} } }\\\\f_o =  65 \ Hz

(b) harmonics of the given frequencies;

the first harmonic (n = 1) = f₀ = 65 Hz

the second harmonic (n = 2) = 2f₀ = 130 Hz

the third harmonic (n = 3) = 3f₀ = 195 Hz

the fourth harmonic (n = 4) = 4f₀ = 260 Hz

Thus, the harmonics of the given frequencies are third and fourth respectively.

A 6 V battery is connected to a 24 ohm resistor to create a circuit. The 6 V battery is then replaced with a 12 V battery. How d
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

1.) The current is doubled

2.) moving a magnet up and down near the wire

3.) An electric current in the wire produces a magnetic field.

4.) Distance between Particles (m)

Explanation:

1.) When 6 V battery is connected to a 24 ohm resistor to create a circuit, using ohms law, V = IR

Current I = 6/24 = 0.25 A

When the The 6 V battery is replaced with a 12 V battery,

Current I = 12/24 = 0.5 A

Therefore, The current is doubled

2.) Electric current will be induced when moving a magnet up and down near the wire

3.) An electric current in the wire produces a magnetic field.

4.) Distance between Particles (m)

The force of attraction between two different masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Determine the thrust produced if 1.5 x 10^3 kg of gas exits the combustion chamber each second, with a speed of 4.00 x 10^3 m/s.
ozzi

Answer:

The thrust is 6\times 10^6\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of gas, m=1.5\times 10^3\ kg

The rate at which the gas is expelling, \dfrac{dv}{dt}=4\times 10^{3}\ m/s

We need to find the thrust produced by the gas.

We know that force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. So,

F=\dfrac{p}{t}

Also, p = mv

F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

So,

F=1.5\times 10^3\times 4\times 10^3\\\\F=6\times 10^6\ N

So, the thrust is 6\times 10^6\ N

Two conducting spheres are each given a charge Q. The radius of the larger sphere is three times greater than that of the smalle
padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

If E₀ is the electric field outside the smaller sphere and r is the radius of larger sphere.

E₀ = kQ/r²

The radius of the larger sphere is 3r and the charge on both sphere is same then the electric field outside the larger sphere is given as

E = kQ/(3r)² = kQ/9r² = 1/9 (kQ/r²)= 1/9 x E₀

hence the correct option is e.

A plane has an airspeed of 142 m/s. A 30.0 m/s wind is blowing southward at the same time as the plane is flying. What must be t
const2013 [10]

Answer:

\theta=12.19^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that

The speed of the airplane ,v= 142 m/s

The speed of the air ,u = 30 m/s

Lets take angle make by airplane from east direction towards north direction is θ .

Now by using diagram ,we can say that

sin\theta =\dfrac{u}{v}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

sin\theta =\dfrac{30}{142}

sin\theta=0.21

\theta=12.19^{\circ}

Therefore the angle will be 12.19° .
