Answer:

Explanation:

Absolutely not. We have three possibilities other than biofuel. There is solar fuel directly from the sun through the use of solar panels. There is also fission which involves "extracting" energy from splitting an atom. Fusion is not yet accomplished, but easily the most promising way of replacing fossil fuels. I'm not very familiar with fusion, but it can be grossly simplified as the opposite of fission. The reason why fusion would be effective is because it has the most potential for a net energy gain.

When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun that part of the earth is closer to the sun and thus hotter? True or false

Ratling [72]

False

Explanation:

Most of us have a belief that Earth is very close to the sun in summer season and so it is hotter. Also, since Earth is far away from the sun in winter season, it is colder. Though this idea looks true, it is incorrect.

The orbit of the Earth isn't a perfect circle. It is quite tilted. During some months of the year, Earth is very close to the sun than at other times. We have winter when the Earth is very close to the sun and summer when it is far away in the Northern Hemisphere. So when we compare the distance of the Sun from the Earth, this change in Earth's distance throughout the year does not affect our weather much.

An AM radio station broadcasts isotropically (equally in all directions) with an average power of 3.40 kW. A receiving antenna 6

lara [203]

To solve the problem we will apply the concepts related to the Intensity as a function of the power and the area, as well as the electric field as a function of the current, the speed of light and the permeability in free space, as shown below.

The intensity of the wave at the receiver is

$I = \frac{P_{avg}}{A}$

$I = \frac{P_{avg}}{4\pi r^2}$

$I = \frac{3.4*10^3}{4\pi(4*1609.34)^2} \rightarrow 1mile = 1609.3m$

$I = 6.529*10^{-6}W/m^2$

The amplitude of electric field at the receiver is

$I = \frac{E_{max}^2}{2\mu_0 c}$

$E_{max}= \sqrt{2I\mu_0 c}$

The amplitude of induced emf by this signal between the ends of the receiving antenna is

$\epsilon_{max} = E_{max} d$

$\epsilon_{max} = \sqrt{2I \mu_0 cd}$

Here,

I = Current

$\mu_0$ = Permeability at free space

c = Light speed

d = Distance

Replacing,

$\epsilon_{max} = \sqrt{2(6.529*10^{-6})(4\pi*10^{-7})(3*10^{8})(60.0*10^{-2})}$

$\epsilon_{max} = 0.05434V$

Thus, the amplitude of induced emf by this signal between the ends of the receiving antenna is 0.0543V

A 0.5 kg basketball moving 5 m/s to the right collides with a 0.05 kg tennis

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

A. 1.4 m/s to the left

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of momentum. Let's define the velocity signs according to the direction, if the velocity is to the right, a positive sign will be introduced into the equation, if the velocity is to the left, a negative sign will be introduced into the equation. Two moments will be analyzed in this equation. The moment before the collision and the moment after the collision. The moment before the collision is taken to the left of the equation and the moment after the collision to the right, so we have:

$M_{before} = M_{after}$

where:

M = momentum [kg*m/s]

M = m*v

where:

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

$(m_{1} *v_{1} )-(m_{2} *v_{2})=(m_{1} *v_{3} )+(m_{2} *v_{4})$

where:

m1 = mass of the basketball = 0.5 [kg]

v1 = velocity of the basketball before the collision = 5 [m/s]

m2 = mass of the tennis ball = 0.05 [kg]

v2 = velocity of the tennis ball before the collision = - 30 [m/s]

v3 = velocity of the basketball after the collision [m/s]

v4 = velocity of the tennis ball after the collision = 34 [m/s]

Now replacing and solving:

(0.5*5) - (0.05*30) = (0.5*v3) + (0.05*34)

1 - (0.05*34) = 0.5*v3

- 0.7 = 0.5*v

v = - 1.4 [m/s]

The negative sign means that the movement is towards left
