In comparing sunspots to other areas of the sun's surface one can say that sunspots are...?

Physics
1 answer:
taurus [48]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

D. Cooler

Explanation:

The Sun's surface has a temperature ranging from 6 000 Kelvin, thus it is very hot. The radioactive reaction in the core of the Sun is a nuclear fusion reaction. This reaction ensures continuous release of high energy from the surface of the Sun.

But during the reaction, some parts becomes cooler than other parts on its surface. Which is due to the release of high amount of energy into space. The Sun's spot can be found in the cooler part of the Sun.

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.

1. A listener stands 20.0 m from a speaker that pumps out music with a power output of 100.0 W.
marta [7]

(1.a) The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is 5,026.55 m².

(1.b) The intensity of the sound wave as it reaches the person listening is 0.02 W/m².

(1.c) The relative intensity of the sound as heard by the listener is 103 dB.

(2.a) The speed of sound if the air temperature is 15⁰C is 340.3 m/s.

(2.b) The frequency of the sound heard by the suspect is 614.3 Hz.

<h3>Surface area being vibrated</h3>

The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is calculated as follows;

A = 4πr²

A = 4π x (20)²

A = 5,026.55 m²

<h3>Intensity of the sound</h3>

The intensity of the sound is calculated as follows;

I = P/A

I = (100) / (5,026.55)

I = 0.02 W/m²

<h3>Relative intensity of the sound</h3>

B = 10log(\frac{I}{I_0} )\\\\B = 10 \times log(\frac{0.02}{10^{-12}} )\\\\B = 103 \ dB

<h3>Speed of sound at the given temperature</h3>

v= 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} } \\\\v = 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{15}{273} } \\\\v = 340.3 \ m/s

<h3>Frequency of the sound</h3>

The frequency of the sound heard is determined by applying Doppler effect.

f_o = f_s(\frac{v \pm v_0}{v \pm v_s} )

where;

  • -v₀ is velocity of the observer moving away from the source
  • -vs is the velocity of the source moving towards the observer
  • fs is the source frequency
  • fo is the observed frequency
  • v is speed of sound

f_0 = f_s(\frac{v-v_0}{v- v_s} )

f_0 = 512(\frac{340.3 - 10}{340.3 - 65} )\\\\f_0 = 614.3 \ Hz

A 500 kg sack of coal falls vertically onto a 2000 kg railroad flatcar which was initially moving horizontally at 3 m/s. no exte
Zinaida [17]

Since there are no external forces, including friction, act on the flatcar. after the sack rests on the flatcar, we would assume that momentum is conserved. This means that

total momentum of car before collision = total momentum of car after collision.

Recall,

momentum = mass x velocity

From the information given,

mass of car before collision = 2000

velocity of car before collision = 3

Thus,

total momentum of car before collision = 2000 x 3 = 6000

Also,

mass of sack = 500

mass of car and sack after collision = 500 + 2000 = 2500

velocity after collision = v

momentum after collision = 2500 x v = 2500v

Since momentum is conserved, then

6000 = 2500v

v = 6000/2500

v = 2.4

the speed of the flatcar is 2.4 m/s

3) A dock worker pushes a 72 kg crate up a 2.0 m high,
Vlad [161]

Work done on the crate is 1411.2 J

Explanation:

Work done is defined as the product of force and the distance moved by the object. The unit of work done is in joules and denoted by the symbol J.

                                     Work done = F * d

where F represents the force and d represents the distance moved by the object.

mass = 72 kg , distance moved by the object is given by 2.0 m

Force F = mass * gravity = 72 * 9.8

             = 705.6 N =706 N.

Work done = 706 * 2.0 = 1412 J.
