Highlight two factors which shows that heat from the sun does not reach the earth surface by convection

Physics

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 metal ring 4.20 cm in diameter is placed between the north and south poles of large magnets with the plane of its area perpend
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have a metal ring of diameter

d = 4.2cm = 0.042m

r = d/2 = 0.021m

And it is place between the north pole and south pole of a large magnet with the plane of it's area perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Given that the magnetic field is

B = 1.12 T

The rate of decrease of magnetic field is 0.2T/s, since it is decrease then,

dB/dt = -0.2 T/s

The induce electric field is given as,

From faradays law

ε = ∫E•dl = -dΦ/dt

Magnetic flux is given as

Φ = BA

Φ = πr²×B = πr²B

Also, ∫E•dl = E×2πr = 2πrE

So,

∫E•dl = -dΦ/dt

2πrE = -d(πr²B) / dt

r is a constant, then

2πrE = -πr² dB/dt

Divide both side by πr

2E = -r dB/dt

E = -r dB/dt / 2

E = -0.021 × -0.2 / 2

E = 0.0021 V/m

The magnetic field point from north to south pole and it is decreasing and this means that the magnetic flux is also decreasing, so the induce magnetic field must point in the same direction of the original magnetic field, so the induce current circulate counter-clockwise as viewed from the south pole

La velocidad de la luz en el vacío es c= 3000.000 km\s la luz del sol tarda en llegar a la tierra 8 minutos y 14 segundos
ehidna [41]

La velocidad correcta de la luz en el vacío es  300.000 km/s .

La distancia = (velocidad) x (duración de tiempo)

Duración de tiempo = 494 segundos, porque cada minuto = 60 segundos

La distancia = (300.000 km/s) x (494 s)

<em>La distancia = 148.200.000 km</em>

25.5 m/s in 5.75 s. What is the acceleration?
anzhelika [568]
Acceleration units are in m/s^2 , so you take 25.5 m/s divided by 5.75s. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity :)
