Answer:

Explanation:

The heat from the Sun gets to the surface of the Earth by radiation and not by convection because:

i. Radiation does not require material medium for its propagation: Since the space between the Sun and Earth is a vacuum ( i.e it is an empty space), then the only method for the heat from to Sun to get to the Earth is by radiation. This method does not require a material medium, while convection is a method that requires material medium for its propagation.

ii. Radiation occurs without heating the intervening medium: During the propagation of the heat from the Sun to the Earth, the space between the two heavenly bodies is not heated up. Some fraction of the heat after hitting the surface of the Earth get reflected back into the Earth's atmosphere. While in convection, the medium would have been heated up in the process.

a couple has just learned that their daughter has hemophilia. They already have a son who does not have the disease. What are th

Step2247 [10]

Answer: The genotypes of the couple are- XᵇX and XᵇY, where Xᵇ denotes the X chromosome having gene for hemophilia.

Hemophilia is a X linked recessive disorder, which means that the gene for hemophilia is carried by X chromosome. A female individual will be affected by the disorder if she carries two copies of the gene causing hemophilia. A male ( XY) will be hemophilic when his X chromosome bears the gene for hemophilia.

As per the information given in the question, son is not having the disease, which means that he has inherited normal X chromosome from his mother. On the other hand, daughter is hemophilic, which indicates that she has inherited both the X chromosomes with hemophilic gene that is XᵇXᵇ ( one X from father and other from mother).

This condition is only possible when the male parent is affected and female parent is carrier for the disease.

Thus, the genotypes of the couple are- XᵇX and XᵇY, where Xᵇ denotes the X chromosome having gene for hemophilia.

Learning Goal: How do 2 ordinary waves build up a "standing" wave? A very generic formula for a traveling wave is: y1(x,t)=Asin(

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

=Asin(kx−ωt). This general mathematical form can represent the displacement of a string, or the strength of an electric field, or the height of the surface of water, or a large number of other physical waves!

Part C Find ye(x) and yt(t). Remember that yt(t) must be a trig function of unit amplitude. Express your answers in terms of A, k, x, ω, and t. Separate the two functions with a comma. Use parentheses around the argument of any trig functions.

Part E At the position x=0, what is the displacement of the string (assuming that the standing wave ys(x,t) is present)? Part G From

Part F we know that the string is perfectly straight at time t=π2ω. Which of the following statements does the string's being straight imply about the energy stored in the strJHJMNMMUJJHTGGHing?

a.There is no energy stored in the string: The string will remain straight for all subsequent times.

b.Energy will flow into the string, causing the standing wave to form at a later time.

c.Although the string is straight at time t=π2ω, parts of the string have nonzero velocity. Therefore, there is energy stored in the string.

d.The total mechanical energy in the string oscillates but is constant if averaged over a complete cycle.
