About 1,360 watts per square meter

At Earth's average distance from the Sun (about 150 million kilometers), the average intensity of solar energy reaching the top of the atmosphere directly facing the Sun is about 1,360 watts per square meter, according to measurements made by the most recent NASA satellite missions.

Answer:

The person with locked legs will experience greater impact force.

Explanation:

Let the two persons be of nearly equal mass (say m)

The final velocity of an object (person) dropped from a height H (here 2 meters) is given by,

$v=\sqrt{2gH}$

( $g$ = acceleration due to gravity)

which can be derived from Newton's equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2aS$

Now, the time taken (say $t$ ) for the momentum ( $mv$ ) to change to zero will be more in the case of the person who bends his legs on impact than who keeps his legs locked.

We know that,

$Force=\frac{\Delta(mv)}{t}$

Naturally, the person who bends his legs will experience lesser force since $t$ is larger.

It is night. Someone who is 4 feet tall is walking away from a street light at a rate of 8 feet per second. The street light is

KiRa [710]

Answer: 4 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

height of man $=4 ft$

speed of person $v=8 ft/s$

height if street light $=12 ft$

Let x be the distance between person and street light and y be the length of his shadow

From diagram

as the two triangle ADE and ABC are similar therefore we can say that

$\frac{4}{12}=\frac{y}{x+y}$

$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{y}{x+y}$

$x+y=3y$

$x=2y$

differentiate above Equation w.r.t time we get

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=2\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{8}{2}=4 ft/s$

Which of the following is true when an object of mass m moving on a horizontal frictionless surface hits and sticks to an object

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A collision is said to be elastic when the total kinetic energy is the same after the collision. The speed of objects that are stuck together will always be less than the initial speed of the object that was in motion given that the other particle was at rest. It is because the kinetic energy of the system was due to the moving object. The objects have a greater overall mass when they are stuck. If the kinetic energy is the same and the mass increases, the velocity must decrease.
