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.

A 900 kg steel beam is supported by the two ropes shown in (Figure 1) . Calculate the tension in the rope.
Rzqust [24]
Let T1 and T2 be tension in ropes1 and 2 respectively. 
<span>since system is stationary (equilibrium), considering both ropes + beam as a system </span>

<span>for horizontal equilibrium (no movement in that direction, so resultant force must be zero horizontally) </span>
<span>T1sin(20) = T2sin(30) </span>
<span>=> T1 = T2sin(30) / sin(20) </span>

<span>for vertical equilibrium, (no movement in this direction, so resultant force must be zero vertically) </span>
<span>T1cos(20) + T2cos(30) = mg </span>

<span>m = 900kg, substituting for T1 </span>
<span>T2sin(30)*cos(20)/sin(20) + T2cos(30) = 900g </span>
<span>2.328*T2 = 900*9.8 </span>
<span>T2 = 3788.65N </span>
<span>so T1 from (1) </span>
<span>T1 = 5535.21N</span>

A student measures the pH of a solution to be 6.8. Which should the student add if she wants to decrease the pH of the solution?
zloy xaker [14]
The neutral pH is 7. Less than 7 indicates an acid and more than 7 indicates a base (up to 14).
<span> NaCl - it's a salt (we can't measure the pH)
H2O - it can be an acid but also a base  (the pH it is almost neutral,meaning close to 7 )
HF - it is a strong acid
</span><span> KOH  - it is a strong base (pH=14)
</span>
                        ↓

He needs to use HF (Hydrogen fluoride) to decrease the pH.

Help ASAP). Draw additional masses to show how the block can be made to move toward point A. Be sure to draw the string and labe
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Given that the block have two applied masses 250 g at East and 100 g at South. In order to make a situation in which block moves towards point A, we have to apply minimum number of masses to the blocks. In order to prevent block moving toward East, we have to apply a mass at West, equal to the magnitude of mass at East but opposite in direction. Therefore, mass of 250 g at West is the required additional mass that has to be added. There is already 100 g of mass acting at South, that will attract block towards South or point A. No need to add further mass in North-South direction.

Hawks and gannets soar above the ground and, when they spot prey, they fold their wings and essentially drop like a stone. They
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

  v = 54.2 m / s

Explanation:

Let's use energy conservation for this problem.

Starting point Higher

         Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lower

        Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        m g h = ½ m v²

         v² = 2gh

         v = √ 2gh

Let's calculate

         v = √ (2 9.8 150)

         v = 54.2 m / s

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Exploratory

Explanation:

<u>Focus groups</u>

It is a small group of 8-12 respondents guided by a moderator through a thorough debate on a specific subject or idea.It's great for generation of ideas, brainstorming, insight into motives, attitudes, and perceptions. it can  show likes, dislikes,emotional requirements and prejudices.

Exploratory methods are used to gain initial insights that could pave the way for further investigation.

Some of the exploratory methods are focus groups, Key informant,case studies,secondary data and observational data.
