How does radiation transfer thermal energy from the Sun to Earth?

2 answers:

5 0

If you have stood in front of a fireplace or near a campfire, you have felt the heat transfer known as radiation. The side of your body nearest the fire warms, while your other side remains unaffected by the heat. Although you are surrounded by air, the air has nothing to do with this transfer of heat. Heat lamps, that keep food warm, work in the same way. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation.

Explain how to multiply the following whole numbers 21 x 14

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}$

________

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$21\:\times \:14$

Line up the numbers

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&2&1\\ \times \:&1&4\end{matrix}$

Multiply the top number by the bottom number one digit at a time starting with the ones digit left(from right to left right)

Multiply the top number by the bolded digit of the bottom number

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 1×4=4

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&2&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&4\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 2×4=8

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&1\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&8&4\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the top number by the bolded digit of the bottom number

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&8&4\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 1×1=1

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&2&\textbf{1}\\ \space\space&\times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&8&4\\ \space\space&\space\space&1&\space\space\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 2×1=2

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{2}&1\\ \space\space&\times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&8&4\\ \space\space&2&1&\space\space\end{matrix}}$

Add the rows to get the answer. For simplicity, fill in trailing zeros.

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&2&1\\ \space\space&\times \:&1&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&4\\ \space\space&2&1&0\end{matrix}}$

adding portion

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&4\\ +&2&1&0\end{matrix}$

Add the digits of the right-most column: 4+0=4

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&\textbf{4}\\ +&2&1&\textbf{0}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}$

Add the digits of the right-most column: 8+1=9

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&\textbf{8}&4\\ +&2&\textbf{1}&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{9}&4\end{matrix}}$

Add the digits of the right-most column: 0+2=2

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}$

Therefore,

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}$

________

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}$

One person wants to get a 95% z-confidence interval with a margin of error of at most 15 based on a population standard deviatio

Bess [88]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.96(60)}{15})^2 =61.46 \approx 62$

So the answer for this case would be n=62 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample
