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.

What is difference between kilowatt and kilowatt hour?
Scrat [10]
Those two units can be compared to a 'mile per hour' and a 'mile per hour - hour'.
One is a rate.  The other is a quantity, after maintaining a rate for some time.

-- 'Joule' is a unit of energy.  It's the amount of work (energy) you do
when you push with a force of 1 newton though a distance of 1 meter.
Lifting 10 pound of beans 3 feet off the floor takes about 40.7 joules of energy.

-- 'Watt' is a <u><em>rate</em></u> of using energy . . . 1 joule per second.
If you lift 10 pounds 3 feet off the floor in 1 second, your <em>power</em> is 40.7 watts.

-- 'Watt-second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 1 joule.

-- 'Watt-hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 3,600 joules.

-- 'Kilowatt' is a bigger <em>rate</em> of using energy . . . 1,000 joules per second.

-- 'Kilowatt - second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 1,000 joules .

-- 'Kilowatt - hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 3,600,000 joules .

Depending on where you live, 3,600,000 joules of energy bought
from the electric company costs something between 5¢ and 25¢.

ycow [4]

Answer:

\frac{0.065}{r}

Explanation:

The maximum velocity of an object moving in a curve beyond which it will slide off the curve is given by the relationship in equation (1);

v=\sqrt{\mu gr}....................(1)

where \mu is the coefficient of friction between the object and the surface of the curve, g is acceleration due to gravity and r is the radius of the curve.

Given;

v = 0.8m/s

g = 9.81m/s^2

r = ?

\mu=?

In order to solve for \mu, we can simply make it the subject of formula from equation (1) as follows;

v^2=\mu gr\\hence\\\mu=\frac{v^2}{gr}.................(2)

since we were not given the value of r, we can just substitute other known values, then solve and leave the answer in terms of r.

Therefore;

\mu=\frac{0.8^2}{9.81r}

\mu=\frac{0.64}{9.81r}\\\\\mu=\frac{0.065}{r}

A mass of 5kg starts from rest and pulls down vertically on a string wound around a disk-shaped, massive pulley. The mass of the
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

c. V = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

E_i =E_f

so:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IW^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

where M is the mass, g the gravity, h the altitude, I the moment of inertia of the pulley, W the angular velocity of the pulley and V the velocity of the mass.

Also we know that:

V = WR

Where R is the radius of the disk, so:

W = V/R

Also, the moment of inertia of the disk is equal to:

I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(5kg)(2m)^2

I = 10 kg*m^2

so, we can write the initial equation as:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IV^2/R^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

Replacing the data:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = \frac{1}{2}(10)V^2/(2)^2 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg)V^2

solving for V:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = V^2(\frac{1}{2}(10)1/4 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg))

V = 2 m/s
