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 what is a negatively charged Atoms

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Negatively charged or positively charged atom is generally termed as ANION/CATION. Short Explanation: If an atom loses electrons or gains protons, it will have a net positive charge and is called a Cation. If an atom gains electrons or loses protons, it will have a net negative charge and is called an Anion.

) Force F = − + ( 8.00 N i 6.00 N j ) ( ) acts on a particle with position vector r = + (3.00 m i 4.00 m j ) ( ) . What are (a)

natali 33 [55]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Cross Product of two vectors as well as to obtain the angle through the magnitude of the angles.

The vector product between the Force and the radius allows us to obtain the torque, in this way,

$\tau = \vec{F} \times \vec{r}$

$\tau = (8i+6j)\times(-3i+4j)$

$\tau = (8*4)(i\times j)+(6*-3)(j\times i)$

$\tau = 32k +18k$

$\tau = 50 k$

Therefore the torque on the particle about the origen is 50k

PART B) To find the angle between two vectors we apply the definition of the dot product based on the vector quantities, that is,

$cos\theta = \frac{r\cdot F}{|\vec{r}|*|\vec{F}|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{(8*-3)+(4*3)}{\sqrt{(-3)^2+4^2}*\sqrt{8^2+6^2}}$

$cos\theta = -0.24$

$\theta = cos^{-1} (-0.24)$

$\theta = 103.88\°$

Therefore the angle between the ratio and the force is 103.88°

When testing a technological design, you may sometimes need to use a model instead of the real thing

That's called a prototype, mainly used to save resources of the company or inventor. And used to look for flaws and perfect them to make the product more safe and efficient.
