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

Physics
1 answer:
Lady_Fox [76]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Define resistance and resistivity and also give the relationship between t
daser333 [38]
It is a fundamental property of a material and tells how strongly the material is opposing the current. The resistance is related to resistivity by the relation, R=ρAl. The resistivity of a material depends on temperature. It increases with the increase in temperature and decreases with the decrease in temperature.HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

3.3 kg block is on a perfectly smooth ramp that makes an angle of 52° with the horizontal. (a) What is the block's acceleration
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a)  a = 7.72 m / s²,  N = 19.9 N  and b)   F = 25.5 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use Newton's second law, let's set a reference system with an axis parallel to the plane and gold perpendicular axis. Let's break down the weight (W)

    sin52 = Wx / W

    cos52 = Wy / W

    Wx = W sin52

    Wy = w cos 52

Let's write them equations

X axis

    Wx = ma

Y Axis

    N-Wy = 0

    N = Wy

a) Let's calculate the acceleration

    a = W sin52 / m = mg sin 52 / m

    a = g sin 52

    a = 9.8 sin52

    a = 7.72 m / s²

The force of the ramp is normal

    N = Wy = mg cos 52

    N = 3.3 9.8 cos 52

    N = 19.9 N

b) For the block to move at constant speed the sum of force on the axis must be zero,

    F - Wx = 0

    F = Wx

    F = mg sin52

   F = 3.3 9.8 sin 52

   F = 25.5 N

A battery of voltage V delivers power P to a resistor of resistance R connected to it. By what factor will the power delivered t
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Power P = V² / R

a ) The resistance is changed to 2.90R

Power will become 1 / 2.9 times .

b )The voltage of the battery is now 2.90V, but the resistance is R

P = (2.9V)² / R

= 8.41 x V² / R

So power becomes 8.41 times

c )The resistance is 2.90R and voltage is 2.90V

Power P = (2.9V)² / 2.9 R

= 2.9 V²/R

So power becomes 2.9 times

d ) The resistance is 2.90R and the voltage is V/2.90

Power P = ( V/2.90)² x 1 / 2.90R

1 / ( 2.9 )³ x V² / R

= 1 / 24.389 x V² / R

So power becomes  1 / 24.389 times .
