Solar energy is incident on the top of earth’s atmosphere at the rate of about 1,360 watts on every square meter (w/m2). This energy effectively falls on the cross-sectional area of the planet. From this fact, calculate the total rate at which solar energy arrives at earth. you’ll need to find earth’s radius

Ahollow metal sphere has 6 cm and 11 cm inner and outer radii, respectively. the surface charge density on the inside surface is −100nc/m2. the surface charge density on the exterior surface is:

Astudent is given an assignment to demonstrate diffraction. he takes a photograph of a straw in a glass of water. the straw appears bent at the water level. which best describes this example? a) this is a good example of diffraction. b) this is an example of dispersion and not diffraction. c) this is an example of refraction and not diffraction. d) this is an example of reflection and not diffraction.

Ametal ball with a mass of 0.028 kg is dropped from rest at a height of 1.0 meters above the ground. assuming the energy in the ball is conserved, how much kinetic energy will the ball have when it is 0.5 meters above the ground?
