What is the value of solar constant in kW m2? approximately 1.366 kilowatts How do you calculate the solar constant of the earth? The specific value at Earth of 1,361 W/m2 is called the “solar constant”…. E = total energy intercepted (technically, energy flux = energy per unit time, in watts) KS = solar insolation […]
What happens if you put too much weight on a spring?
What happens if you put too much weight on a spring? If too much force is applied, one may stretch or compress a spring beyond a certain point that its deformation will occur. On subsequent release of the stress, the spring will return to a permanently deformed shape which will be different from its original […]
What is the distance between two waves?
What is the distance between two waves? Wavelength is one way of measuring the size of waves. It is the distance between two corresponding points on adjacent waves, usually measured in meters. The wavelength of a transverse wave can be measured as the distance between two adjacent crests. What is the distance between two consecutive […]
What structures organelles do plant cells have that animal cells do not have?
What structures organelles do plant cells have that animal cells do not have? Most organelles are common to both animal and plant cells. However, plant cells also have features that animal cells do not have: a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and plastids such as chloroplasts. Which is biggest animal cell? Caulerpa taxifolia is […]
What is the greatest potential energy?
What is the greatest potential energy? gravitational potential energy What is the pair of quantities are the factors that affect kinetic energy? The amount of translational kinetic energy (from here on, the phrase kinetic energy will refer to translational kinetic energy) that an object has depends upon two variables: the mass (m) of the object […]
Why does chlorine have 18 neutrons?
Why does chlorine have 18 neutrons? An element with 17 protons will always be chlorine. However an element’s mass numbers can vary, which means that it can have different numbers of neutrons. So although chlorine has a mass number of 35 which means it has 18 neutrons, it can also have a mass number of […]
What are 3 things the inner planets have in common?
What are 3 things the inner planets have in common? All of the inner planets are solid, dense, rocky planets. The inner planets either do not have moons or have just one (Earth) or two (Mars). None of the inner planets have rings. Compared to the outer planets, the inner planets have shorter orbits around […]
Does the acceleration of the ball decreases when it is rising?
Does the acceleration of the ball decreases when it is rising? It’s acceleration is also zero. The direction of a ball’s motion is changing as it rises into the air when thrown. The speed of the ball decreases because gravity pulls it towards the ground and makes the distance it can cover in one second […]
How can you prove that mechanical energy is conserved?
How can you prove that mechanical energy is conserved? Proof of Conservation of Mechanical energy Therefore for every displacement of Δx, the difference between the sums of an object’s kinetic and potential energy is zero. In other words, the sum of an object’s kinetic and potential energies is constant under a conservative force. How do […]
Which layer of the atmosphere is the hottest?
Which layer of the atmosphere is the hottest? The thermosphere is often considered the “hot layer” because it contains the warmest temperatures in the atmosphere. Temperature increases with height until the estimated top of the thermosphere at 500 km. Temperatures can reach as high as 2000 K or 1727 ºC in this layer (Wallace and […]
