Answer:

B. Solar energy

Explanation:

The water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.

The three forces acting on a hot-air balloon that is moving vertically are its weight, the force due to air resistance and the u
Aleksandr [31]
Let
upthrust = T
weight = W = mg
Air resistance = F

When balloon is descending, air resistance acts upwards (positive)
By Newton's first law, the net force on the balloon is zero, or
T+F-W=0......................(1)

Let w=weight of material dumped so that balloon now travels upwards at constant speed.
Air resistance acts against motion, namely downwards.
The Newton's equation now reads
T-F-(W-w)=0................(2)

Subtract (2) from (1)
T+F-W - (T-F-(W-w)) = 0
Solve for w
w=2F, or
the WEIGHT of material to be released equals twice the resistance of air.

A proton (1.6726 ? 10-27 kg) and a neutron (1.6749 ? 10-27 kg) at rest combine to form a deuteron, the nucleus of deuterium or "
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the deuteron = mass of the proton + mass of the neutron + mass equivalent of the energy of 2.2 Mev evolved.

I amu = 931 Mev

2.2 Mev = 2.2 / 931 amu

= ( 2.2 / 931 )x 1.6726 x 10⁻²⁷

= .00395 x 10⁻²⁷

The mass of the deuteron  =( 1.6726 + 1.6749 +  .00395)x 10⁻²⁷ kg

= 3.35145 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

b ) Momentum of gamma ray

= h / λ ( h is plank's constant and λ is wavelength of gamma ray )

= hυ / υλ       (  υ is frequency of gamma ray )

= E / c  ( E is energy of photon and c is velocity o light )

= 2.2 x 10⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹  J / 3 x 10⁸

= 1.173 x 10⁻²¹ Kg m /s

This will be the momentum of deuteron also

Kinetic energy

= p² / 2m ( p is momentum and m is mass of deuteron )

= ( 1.173 x 10⁻²¹ )² / ( 2 x 3.35145 x 10⁻²⁷)

= 1.376 x ⁻¹⁵ J

Energy of gamma ray

= 2.2 x 10⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹  J

= 3.52 x 10⁻¹³ J

So kinetic energy of deuteron is smaller than energy of gamma ray photon .

a child hits a ball with a force of 350 N. (a) If the ball and bat are in contact for 0.12 is, what impulse does the ball receiv
Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Given that,

Force with which a child hits a ball is 350 N

Time of contact is 0.12 s

We need to find the impulse received by the ball. The impulse delivered is given by :

J=F\times t\\\\J=350\times 0.12\\\\J=42\ N-m

So, the impulse is 42 N-m..

We know that he change in momentum is also equal to the impulse delivered.

So, impulse = 42 N-m and change in momentum =42 N-m.

A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0kg fish from a dock that is 2.0m above the water. He is using lightweightfishing line th
agasfer [191]

Answer:

t = 2 s

Explanation:

As we know that fish is pulled upwards with uniform maximum acceleration

then we will have

T - mg = ma

here we know that maximum possible acceleration of so that string will not break is given as

T = 54 N

now we have

54 - (5 \times 9.8) = 5 a

a = 1 m/s^2

now for such acceleration we can use kinematics

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2

2 = \frac{1}{2}(1) t^2

t = 2 s

Bill leaves his 60 W desk lamp on every day, including weekends, for eight hours. After one month (30 days), how much total ener
maxonik [38]

' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.

That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.

(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)

= 51,840,000 joules
__________________________________

Wait a minute !  Hold up !  Hee haw !  Whoa ! 
Excuse me.  That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's

(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)

= 14.4 kW·hour

Rounded to the nearest whole number:

14 kWh
