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.

____ [38]3 years ago
5 0

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 proton and an electron are fixed in space with a separation of 859 nm. Calculate the electric potential at the midpoint betwee
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The electric potential at the midpoint between the two particles is 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

Explanation:

Electric potential is given as;

V = E*r

where;

E is the electric field strength, = kq/r²

V = ( kq/r²)*r

V = kq/r

k is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q is the charge of the particles = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

r is the distance between the particles = 859 nm

At midpoint, the distance = r/2 = 859nm/2 = 429.5 nm

V = (8.99 X 10⁹  * 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹)/ (429.5 X 10⁻⁹)

V = 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

Therefore, the electric potential at the midpoint between the two particles is 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

gulaghasi [49]
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (later speed) - (earlier speed) = (13 - 24) = -11 km/hr
Time for the change = 2 seconds

Acceleration = (-11 km/hr) / (2 sec)

Acceleration = -5.5 km/hr-sec  (B)

A railroad freight car, mass 15,000 kg, is allowed to coast along a level track at a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides and couples w
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car 1, m₁ = 15,000 kg

Mass of car 2, m₂ = 50,000 kg

Speed of car 1, u₁ = 2 m/s

Initial speed of car 2, u₂ = 0

Let V is the speed of the two cars after coupling. It is the case of inelastic collision. Applying the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{15000\ kg\times 2\ m/s+0}{(15000\ kg+50000\ kg)}  

V = 0.46 m/s

So, the speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy.
Alina [70]

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy. It is a true statement .

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. It is basically the energy of mass in motion. Kinetic energy can never be negative and it is a scalar quantity i.e. it provides only the magnitude and not the direction.

According to law of conservation of mechanical energy change in potential energy is equal and opposite to the change in the kinetic energy.

According to the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved i.e., the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed; it can only be internally converted from one form to another if the forces doing work on the system are conservative in nature.

since, potential energy is stored in the form of work done

Work done = Fs cos (theta)

If force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion

theta =   90 °

cos (90 ) = 0

Work done  = 0

since , there is no work done , hence kinetic energy will not change
