Why do temperatures on the moons surface vary ncyb more than temperatures on earth

Physics
1 answer:
ollegr [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The moon has no atmosphere

Explanation:

The temperatures on the surface of the Moon vary much more than those on Earth because the moon has no atmosphere (third answer in the list), and therefore there are no molecules that could retain residual heat and make the change from day to night a softer transition.

Which transformation of energy occurs when a fan is turned on and the blades start to rotate?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

kinetic energy

Explanation:

A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy. A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator

which instrument is best suited for measuring the dimensions of a shoebox? a)a triple-beam balance b)a volumetric flask c)a rule
Aloiza [94]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The instrument that is <span>best suited for measuring the dimensions of a shoebox would be a ruler. A triple-beam balance is for measuring mass. A volumetric flask is for volume. A caliper is measuring lengths of small objects.</span>

Which of the following involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration? a. melting of a solid b. evaporatio
Mama L [17]

Explanation:

Since, entropy is the measure of degree of randomness. So, more randomly the molecules of a substance are moving more will be its entropy.

  • For example, when a solid melts then it means heat is absorbed by it due to which its molecules have gained energy. As a result, they collide with each other and hence, entropy will increase.
  • Evaporation of a liquid will also cause the liquid to change its state from liquid to gas. This means molecules will go far away from each other leading to an increase in the entropy.
  • Sublimation is a process of conversion of a solid into gaseous phase without going through liquid phase. So, in this case also entropy will increase due to gain in energy by the molecules of a solid.
  • In freezing, molecules of a substance come closer to each other and acquire less energy. Hence, entropy decreases.
  • Mixing is a process of combining two or more substances physically with each other. This leads to increase in entropy of a substance.
  • In separation molecules are separated from each other leading to a decrease in energy. Hence, entropy will also decrease.
  • Diffusion is a process in which molecules are able to rapidly move from one place to another. Hence, entropy increases when diffusion takes place.

Thus, we can conclude that melting of a solid, evaporation of a liquid, sublimation, mixing and diffusion involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration.

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V. What are (a) the total energy stored i
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

(A) Total energy will be equal to 0.044\times 10^{-5}J

(b) Energy density will be equal to 0.0175J/m^3

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the plate d = 2 cm = 0.02 m

So area of the plate A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.02^2=0.001256m^2

Distance between the plates d = 0.50 mm = 0.50\times 10^{-3}m

Permitivity of free space \epsilon _0=8.85\times 10^{-12}F/m

Potential difference V =200 volt

Capacitance between the plate is equal to C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.001256}{0.50\times 10^{-3}}=0.022\times 10^{-9}F

(a) Total energy stored in the capacitor is equal to

E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.022\times 10^{-9}\times 200^2=0.044\times 10^{-5}J

(b) Volume will be equal to V=Ad, here A is area and d is distance between plates

V=0.001256\times 0.02=2.512\times 10^{-5}m^3

So energy density =\frac{Energy}{volume}=\frac{0.044\times 10^{-5}}{2.512\times 10^{-5}}=0.0175J/m^3

How many photons are absorbed during the dental x-ray?
MariettaO [177]
<span>E=hc/wav. len
E = (6.62 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8)/0.0275 x 10^-9
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15 J
To convert to eV divide by 1.6 x 10^-19
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15/1.6 x 10^-19 eV
E =45.36 x 10^3 eV
Th energy, E, of a single x-ray photon in eV is = 45.36keV.

Number of photons, n = total energy/ energy of photon
n = 3.85 x 10^-6/7.22182 x 10^-15
n = 5.33 x 10^8 photons </span>
