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.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

82780.42123 m/s

14.45 days

Explanation:

m = Mass of the planet

M = Mass of the star = 0.85\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg=1.69065\times 10^{30}\ kg

r = Radius of orbit of planet = 0.11\times 149.6\times 10^{9}\ m=16.456\times 10^{9}\ m

v = Orbital speed

The kinetic and potential energy balance is given by

\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Gm}{r}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.69065\times 10^{30}}{16.456\times 10^{9}}}\\\Rightarrow v=82780.42123\ m/s

The orbital speed of the star is 82780.42123 m/s

The orbital period is given by

t=\frac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{2\pi \times 16.456\times 10^{9}}{82780.42123}\\\Rightarrow t=1249040.48419\ seconds=\dfrac{1249040.48419}{24\times 60\times 60}=14.45\ days  

The orbital period is 14.45 days

Which of the following is not a sedimentary structure?A) Magma emplacementB) Mud cracksC) Ripple marksD) Cross beds
lawyer [7]

Answer:

A) Magma emplacement

Explanation:

Sedimentary structures forms during deposition of sediments. It can also form after sediments have been deposited. Sedimentary structures can only be found in sedimentary rocks. Some examples include mud cracks, ripple marks, cross stratification, potholes, etc

Magma emplacement is an igneous process which describes the different mechanisms by which magma can be emplaced. It is only typical of igneous rocks.

In the diagram, q1 = -6.39*10^-9 C and q2 = +3.22*10^-9 C. What is the electric field at point P? pls help
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

First draw the vectors that represent both electric fields.

E1 is the elictric field created by q1, E2 is the one created by q2.

● q1 is negative so E1 will point from P.

● q2 is positive so E2 will point out of P

(Picture below)

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The resulting electric field is equal to the sum of the two fields since both vectors are colinear.

Let E be the total field.

● E = E1 + E2

The formula of the electric field intensity is:

● E = K ×(q/d^2)

-K is Coulomb's constant

-d is the distance between the charge and the object ( here P)

-q is the charge

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● E1 = K × (q1/d1^2)

The distance between q1 and P is the qum of 0.15 m 0.25 m. (0.4 m)

Coulombs constant is 9×10^9 m^2/C^2

● E1 = 9×10^9 ×[-6.39 × 10^(-9)/ 0.4^2]

● E1 = -359.43 N/C

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● E2 = K ×(q2/d^2)

The distance between q2 and P is 0.25 m.

● E2 = 9×10^9×[3.22×10^(-9) /0.25^2]

● E2 = 463.68 N/C

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● E = E1 + E2

● E = -359.43+463.68

● E = 105.25 N/C
