The sun's rays have a greater effect on land temperature than they have on water temperature. This can be explained partly by wh

ich of the following?
(1) Some energy from the sun is used to evaporate ocean water.
(2) Less energy is reflected by the water's surface than by the land's surface.
(3) Land materials have a higher specific heat than water has.
(4) Land Materials require more heat energy than water does to raise their temperature 1 degree Celsius.

Answer:

The answer is choice (3)

Explanation: Land materials do require more energy than water to raise their temperature by one degree, hence why water gets heated a lot easier than something like wood.

A 0.01 kg spring toy is compressed 0.02 m and released vertically. The toy is measured to reach 0.25 m in the air. Determine the
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

122.5 N/m

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, if there is no air resistance or frictional forces, the initial elastic potential energy of the spring toy is entirely converted into gravitational potential energy when the toy reaches the highest point.

Therefore, we can write:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=mgh

where the term on the left is the initial elastic potential energy while the term on the right is the gravitational potential energy, and where

k is the spring constant

x = 0.02 m is the compression of the spring

m = 0.01 kg is the mass of the toy

h = 0.25 m is the height reached by the toy

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Solving for k,

k=\frac{2mgh}{x^2}=\frac{2(0.01)(9.8)(0.25)}{(0.02)^2}=122.5 N/m

What is Nuclear energy
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Nuclear energy is that released by dividing the nuclei of heavy atoms (also called under the name Nuclear Fission)

Explanation:

In this process, a large amount of heat is generated that can be used to obtain mechanical energy, which is used to generate electrical energy.

Nuclear energy is a sustainable source of energy having a low impact on the environment.

Please, I need help with this question.
Jet001 [13]

The x and y components of the velocity vector is 17.32 m/s and 10 m/s respectively.

<h3>What is the x - component of the velocity?</h3>

The x-component of the ball's velocity is the velocity of the ball in the horizontal direction or x-axis.

The velocity of the ball in x-direction is calculated as follows;

Vx = V cosθ

where;

  • Vx is the horizontal velocity of the ball
  • V is the speed of the ball
  • θ is the angle of inclination of the speed

Vx = (20 m/s) x (cos 30)

Vx = 17.32 m/s

The velocity of the ball in y-direction is calculated as follows;

Vy = V sinθ

where;

  • Vy is the vertical velocity of the ball
  • V is the speed of the ball
  • θ is the angle of inclination of the speed

Vy = 20 m/s x sin(30)

Vy = 10 m/s

The total resistance of a 15-ohm, an 65-ohm and a 35-ohm resistor connected in parallel ​
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

I think its 9.0397 Ohms

Explanation:

take the reciprocal of all the resistances: 1/15, 1/65, 1/35

then add them: = 151/1365

then reciprocal the answer: =1365/151

And chuck it on a calculator: =9.04 Ohms

I think this is right but I'm not entirely sure. Tell me if I'm right by the way!

A boy drags a suitcase along the ground with a force of 100 N. If the frictional force opposing the motion of the suitcase is 50
stira [4]
Fortunately, 'force' is a vector.  So if you know the strength and direction
of each force, you can easily addum up and find the 'resultant' (net) force.

When we talk in vectors, one newton forward is the negative of
one newton backward.   Hold that thought, while I slog through
the complete solution of the problem.


            (100 N forward) plus (50 N backward)

        =  (100 N forward) minus (50 N forward)

        =           50 N forward .

That's it.
Is there any part of the solution that's not clear ?
