Answer: The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
Explanation:
The amount of incoming energy from the Sun decides the weather and climate of earth. If the energy that is incoming and outgoing on the earth, then climate is in equilibrium. The balance is depending on the scattering, absorption, reflection and transformation of energy.
The energy from sun passes through space and reaches the earth’s surface. On reaching surface, the solar energy warms the atmosphere releasing heat energy which gets transferred throughout the planets system by radiation, conduction and convection. Conduction happens in the atmosphere within first several millimeters close to the surface. This heated air expands as it is dense and rises causing transfer of heat to atmosphere through convection process. It results in formation of clouds.
The radiant energy from sun is transmitted via space in form of invisible waves. But much of the suns radiant energy, is transmitted back to atmosphere. The objects on earth like land, plants, animals absorb radiant energy as heat of which one third gets re-radiated back to atmosphere that is absorbed by carbon dioxide and water vapor. The atmosphere radiates heat energy back to earth increasing the earth temperature. This trapping of radiation is greenhouse effect.
The thermal energy obtained by convection currents are responsible for wind, cloud formation, and weather formation. The hydrosphere that comprises of 70% of earth’s surface absorbs solar energy.
On the basis of the above explanation is:
The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.

How would the self-inductance, l, of a coil change if you would increase its radius by a factor of two and increase its length b
pochemuha

The self-inductance of a coil will change by 8 times its original value by increasing its radius value by 2 and increasing the length of the coil by 2.

Self-Inductance: -

The definition of self-inductance is the induction of a voltage in a wire that carries current when the current in the wire is changing. In the instance of self-inductance, the circuit itself induces a voltage through the magnetic field produced by a changing current.

We know that the self-inductance of the coil is denoted by: -

L= µ *π*(r)^2*(N)^2*l

Where

L= Self-Inductance of the coil

µ= Magnetic Permeability Constant

r= Radius of the coil

l= Length of the coil

N= Number of turns of the coil

Here Self-inductance of the coil is directly proportional to the length of the coil and the square of the radius of the coil.

So,

On increasing the radius of the coil by a factor of 2 and the length of the coil by 2 the self-inductance of the coil increases by 8 times its original value.

A very flexible helium-filled balloon is released from the ground into the air at 20. ∘C. The initial volume of the balloon is 5
koban [17]

Answer:

V = 38.0 L

Explanation:

As we know that number of moles will remains conserved inside the balloon

so we will have

moles = \frac{PV}{RT}

here we have

\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}

now we have

P_1 = 760 mm Hg

P_2 = 76 mm Hg

V_1 = 5.00 L

T_1 = 20^o C = 293 K

T_2 = -50^o C = 223 K

\frac{(760mm Hg)(5L)}{R(293)} = \frac{(76mm Hg)(V)}{R(223)}

V = 38.0 L
