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.

A 9 newtwon charge is Felt on a (1x10^-4) C charge from another charge that is 3 meters away. What is the magnitude of that othe
Marina86 [1]

The magnitude of that other charge will be 9×10⁻⁵ C. The force on the charge is inverse of the distance.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The magnitude of that other charge is found as;

\rm F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\ \rm 9  = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 1\times 10^{-4}\times q_2}{(3)^2} \\\\ q_2=9\times 10^{-5} \ C

Hence, the magnitude of that other charge will be 9×10⁻⁵ C.

The angular momentum about the center of the planet and the total mechanical energy will be conserved regardless of whether the
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The angular momentum around the center of the planet and the total mechanical energy will be preserved irrespective of whether the object moves from large R  to small R. But on the other hand the kinetic energy of the planet will not be conserved because it can change from kinetic energy to potential energy.

Therefore the given statement is True.

A football player kicks a 0.94 kg football with a force of 2.4 N.
Artyom0805 [142]

2.6m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of football = 0.94kg

Force on ball = 2.4N

Unknown:

The acceleration of the ball = ?

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

  Net force = mass x acceleration

Make acceleration the subject of the expression;

       Acceleration = \frac{net force}{mass}

Acceleration  = \frac{2.4}{0.94}  =  2.6m/s²
