The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is . On Earth, the main source of this energy is .

serg [7]

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is light energy. On earth, the main source of this energy is Sun. Most of the light energy comes from the sun because it is the primary source of all the energies. The food, fossil fuels, movement of winds, etc all exists due to Sun. Without sun, there won't be any light energy on the earth. In all the processes which occur on earth has a direct or indirect involvement of light energy which comes from sun.

Rocks A and B are located at the same height on top of a hill. The mass of rock A is twice the mass of rock B. How does the pote

Ronch [10]

Potential energy is defined by formula

$U = mgh$

here

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now here two different stones are located at same height

while mass of stone A is twice that of stone B

so here we can say potential energy of A is

$U_a = (2m)gh$

Similarly potential energy of B is

$U_b = mgh$

now if we take the ratio of two energy

$\frac{U_a}{U_b} = 2$

so we can say potential energy of stone A is two times the potential energy of B

A black, totally absorbing piece of cardboard of area a = 2.1 cm2 intercepts light with an intensity of 8.8 w/m2 from a camera s

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The value of radiation pressure is $2.933 \times 10^{-8}$ Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity $I = 8.8$ $\frac{W}{m^{2} }$

Area of piece $A = 2.1 \times 10^{-4}$ $m^{2}$

From the formula of radiation pressure in terms of intensity,

$P = \frac{I}{c}$

Where $P =$ radiation pressure, $c =$ speed of light

We know value of speed of light,

$c = 3 \times 10^{8}$ $\frac{m}{s}$

Put all values in above equation,

$P = \frac{8.8}{3 \times 10^{8} }$

$P = 2.933 \times 10^{-8}$ Pa

Therefore, the value of radiation pressure is $2.933 \times 10^{-8}$ Pa
