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 massless string connects a 10.00 kg mass to a 13.00 kg cart which is resting on a frictionless horizontal surface. The mass ha
ch4aika [34]

The cart's acceleration to the right after the mass is released  is determined as 7.54 m/s².

<h3>Acceleration of the cart</h3>

The acceleration of the cart is determined from the net force acting on the mass-cart system.

Upward force = Downward force

ma = mg

13a = 10(9.8)

13a = 98

a = 98/13

a = 7.54 m/s²

Thus, the cart's acceleration to the right after the mass is released  is determined as 7.54 m/s².

M A spherical conductor has a radius of 14.0cm and a charge of 26.0σC . Calculate the electric field and the electric potential
Yuri [45]

The Electric field is E=23400 V/m.

What is electric potential ?

The amount of labor required to convey a unit of electric charge from a reference point to a given place in an electric field is known as the electric potential (also known as the electric field potential, potential drop, or the electrostatic potential). More specifically, it is the energy per unit charge for a test charge that is negligibly disruptive to the field under discussion.

The electric field of a spherical conductor is given by:

{\displaystyle E={\frac {Q}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}\,r^{2}}}

Here 'E' is the electric field and 'Q' is the electric charge.

therefore putting the values we get,

E=23400 V/m

almond37 [142]

You have to find interia using I=mr^2.  

m=75+10  

radius = 11  

Then you have to substitute in first formula above to find the angular speed.

14020=(75+10)x v x 11  

v= 14020/ (85x11) = 15m/s

To find linear speed, use V=wr.

Equation: V = 11*1.363 = 15m/s = 33.6mi/hr

Hope this helps! :)
