Answer:

By electromagnetic waves.

Explanation:

The sun transfers heat to earth via electromagnetic waves in twomajor ways:

$Radiation-$ this is the transfer of energy by invisible electromagnetic ways.

$Convection-$ The radiant sun energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This transfer of heat through movement of fluids or usually air is called convection.

The amount of pressure required to move a 6800 lb force with a 6" d piston is ___ psi.

Katena32 [7]

The pressure needed in PSI = Pounds of force needed divided by the cylinder Area
The Cylinder rod Area is 21.19 sq inches
Thus, the pressure= 6800/21.19
= 320.91 PSI

A physics student shoves a 0.50-kg block from the bottom of a frictionless 30.0° inclined plane. The student performs 4.0 j of w

Musya8 [376]

Answer:1.63 m

Explanation:

Given

mass of block $m=0.5 kg$

inclination $\theta =30^{\circ}$

Amount of work done $W=4 J$

block slides a distance s along the Plane

Work done =change in Potential Energy

Increase in height of block is $s\sin \theta$

Change in Potential Energy $=mg(\sin \theta -0)$

$\Delta P.E.=0.5\times 9.8\times s\sin 30$

$4=0.5\times 9.8\times s\sin 30$

$s=\frac{4}{2.45}$

$s=1.63 m$

Which statements accurately describe mechanical waves? Check all that apply.

stiks02 [169]

Answers that apply include

Energy is transferred through vibrating particles
An ocean wave moving through water is an example of a mechanical wave
A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave.
A transverse wave is a type of mechanical wave

Mechanical waves can't pass through vacuum like electromagnetic waves because t depends on the transfer of energy between particles of matter (matter that has inertia and elasticity). This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Another example of mechanical energy is sound. In addition to longitudinal and transverse waves, another type of mechanical wave is surface waves.
