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

Physics

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.

When the same masses are heated by the same amount, which of the following substances will heat up the slowest?
DochEvi [55]
When the same masses are heated by the same amount copper will heat up the fastest. Copper is a good conductor of heat that is why it easily heats up. Gold is not a good conductor of heat because of its stable properties.

Olegator [25]
Quite low

Gravitation force = \frac{6.67* 10^{-11}*0.145*6.8 }{ 0.5^{2} } = 26.3 * 10^{-11} = 2.63 *10^{-10} N

A student constructed a series circuit consisting of a 12.0-volt battery, a 10.0-ohm lamp, and a
Zolol [24]
     Considering the unknown resistence as R and using the Ohm's First Law, we have:

i= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}  \\ 0.5= \frac{12}{R+10}  \\ R+10=24 \\ R=14-Ohm
 
     The equivalent resistence is given by the resistor series with the lamp resistence.

R_{eq}=R+10 \\ R_{eq}=14+10 \\ \boxed {R_{eq}=24-Ohm}

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.
