Explain why energy from the sun cannot reach us by conduction or convection?

Physics

Answer:

It cannot reach us by conduction or convection as there is no medium such as air in most part of the space between the earth and the sun. From the sun the heat comes to us by another process known as radiation. The transfer of heat by radiation does not require any medium.

Answer:

Heat can't be transferred from sun to earth by conduction, because air is a bad conductor of heat. Convection is the transfer of heat in gases & liquids. Convection occurs when a heated fluid moves away from the source of heat and comes in contact with other substances, transferring some of their energy.

Two forces act on a 6.00-kg object. One of the forces is 10.0 N. If the object accelerates at 2.00 m/s2
liubo4ka [24]

Given :

Two forces act on a 6.00-kg object. One of the forces is 10.0 N.

Acceleration of object 2 m/s².

To Find :

The greatest possible magnitude of the other force.\

Solution :

Let, other force is f.

So, net force, F = 10 + f.

Now, acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{F}{mass}\\\\a= \dfrac{10+f}{6}\\\\\dfrac{10+f}{6}=2\\\\f = 12 - 10\\\\f = 2 \ N

Therefore, the greatest possible magnitude of the other force is 2 N.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Triss [41]

Answer:

p(a) * p(b) = .01923

p(b) = .01923 / .07692 = .2500

Which best contrasts Newton's and Einstein's ideas?
Len [333]

Answer:

Newton believed that mass tells gravity how much force to exert. Einstein believed that mass tells space-time how to curve.

Explanation:

Isaac Newton believed that bodies on earth had a force of gravity pulling them down as a result of their masses.

Albert Einstein believed that the bodies were not pulled down but were moving around in a circular sphere/manner.

This confirms Newton believing that mass tells gravity how much force to exert and Einstein believing that mass tells space-time how to curve.

Which of these boxes will not accelerate? A. B. C. D.
serg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and  is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.

Two trains on separate tracks move toward each other. Train 1 has a speed of 145 km/h; train 2, a speed of 72.0 km/h. Train 2 bl
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Therefore,

The frequency heard by the engineer on train 1

f_{o}=603\ Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Two trains on separate tracks move toward each other

For Train 1 Velocity of the observer,

v_{o}=145\ km/h=145\times \dfrac{1000}{3600}=40.28\ m/s

For Train 2 Velocity of the Source,

v_{s}=90\ km/h=90\times \dfrac{1000}{3600}=25\ m/s

Frequency of Source,

f_{s}=500\ Hz

To Find:

Frequency of Observer,

f_{o}=?  (frequency heard by the engineer on train 1)

Solution:

Here we can use the Doppler effect equation to calculate both the velocity of the source v_{s} and observer v_{o}, the original frequency of the sound waves f_{s} and the observed frequency of the sound waves f_{o},

The Equation is

f_{o}=f_{s}(\dfrac{v+v_{o}}{v -v_{s}})

Where,

v = velocity of sound in air = 343 m/s

Substituting the values we get

f_{o}=500(\dfrac{343+40.28}{343 -25})=500\times 1.205=602.64\approx 603\ Hz

Therefore,

The frequency heard by the engineer on train 1

f_{o}=603\ Hz
