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.

The vector product of vectors A⃗ and B⃗ has magnitude 12.0 m2 and is in the +z-direction.Vector A⃗ has magnitude 4.0 m and is in
g100num [7]

Answer:

θ=180°

Explanation:

The problem says that the vector product of A and B is in the +z-direction, and that the vector A is in the -x-direction. Since vector B has no x-component, and is perpendicular to the z-axis (as A and B are both perpendicular to their vector product), vector B has to be in the y-axis.

Using the right hand rule for vector product, we can test the two possible cases:

  • If vector B is in the +y-axis, the product AxB should be in the -z-axis. Since it is in the +z-axis, this is not correct.

  • If vector B is in the -y-axis, the product AxB should be in the +z-axis. This is the correct option.

Now, the problem says that the angle θ is measured from the +y-direction to the +z-direction. This means that the -y-direction has an angle of 180° (half turn).

How does the period affects the centripetal force?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:According to the Equation (2), centripetal force is proportional to the square of the speed for an object of given mass M rotating in a given radius R.

Explanation:The Period T. The time T required for one complete revolution is called the period. For. constant speed. v = 2π r T holds.

PLEASEE I NEED HELP FAST!!! .Study the scenario.A small container of water with a low temperature is poured into a large contain
RSB [31]

Answer:

that best describes the process is C

Explanation:

This problem is a calorimeter process where the heat given off by one body is equal to the heat absorbed by the other.

Heat absorbed by the smallest container

             Q_c = m ce (T_{f}-T₀)

Heat released by the largest container is

              Q_a = M ce (T_{i}-T_{f})

how

        Q_c = Q_a

       m (T_{f}-T₀) = M (T_{i} - T_{f})

Therefore, we see that the smaller container has less thermal energy and when placed in contact with the larger one, it absorbs part of the heat from it until the thermal energy of the two containers is the same.

Of the final statements, the one that best describes the process is C

since it talks about the thermal energy and the heat that is transferred in the process

Part A.)Six boxes held at rest against identical walls.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a body is held against a vertical wall , to keep them in balanced position , normal force is applied on their surface . this force creates normal reaction which acts against the normal force and it is equal to the normal force as per newton's third law . Ultimately friction force is created which is proportional to normal force and it acts in vertically upward direction . It prevents the body from falling down .

Hence normal force = reaction force .

From second law also net force is zero , so if  normal force is N and reaction force is R

R - N = mass x acceleration = mass x 0 = 0

R = N .

Ranking normal force from  highest  to smallest

150 N , 130 N , 120 N

B )

Frictional force is equal to the weight of the body because the body is held at rest .

Ranking of frictional force form largest to smallest

7 kg , 5 kg , 3 kg , 1 kg .

Here frictional force is irrespective of the normal force acting on the body  because frictional force adjusts itself so that it becomes equal to weight in all cases here because it always balances the weight of the body .

The position-time graph for a bug crawling along a line is shown in item 4 below. Determine whether the velocity is positive, ne
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: The velocity at different marked time points are given as

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

Explanation:

The slope of the tangent of the curve indicates the instantaneous velocity. So if the slope of the tangent is positive, that Is, the tangent makes a positive angle (above the horizontal axis) with the horizontal

axis, then the velocity at this point is positive, and if the slope of the tangent is negative, that is the tangent makes a negative angle with the horizontal axis (below the horizontal axis), then the velocity at this point is negative.

When the tangent of the line is parallel to the horizontal axis, the velocity is 0.

From the position-time graph attached, the sign on the instantaneous velocity for each time marked on the graph is given below

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0
