The structure and curvature of the Earth results in beams of sunlight glancing off the equator and reaching other areas of the Earth. This means that the areas at the equator receive more energy as sun's rays hit them directly.
Therefore, the answer is C.

A Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of 0.400. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of 298.0k and a

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

496.7 K

Explanation:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the equation:

$\eta = 1 - \frac{T_H}{T_L}$

where:

$T_H$ is the temperature of the hot reservoir

$T_C$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the engine in the problem, we know that

$\eta = 0.400$ is the efficiency

$T_C = 298.0 K$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir

Solving for $T_H$ , we find:

$\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\eta\\T_H = \frac{T_C}{1-\eta} =\frac{298.0}{1-0.400}=496.7 K$

The current through a 10 ohm resistor connected to a 120 volt power supply is

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:I=12 A

Explanation:

Given

Resistance $R=10 \Omega$

Voltage $V=120 V$

According to ohm's law current through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied.

$V\propto I$

$V=IR$

where V=Voltage

I=Current

R=resistance

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

$I=\frac{120}{10}$

$I=12 A$

A radar for tracking aircraft broadcasts a 12 GHz microwave beam from a 2.0-m-diameter circular radar antenna. From a wave persp

NISA [10]

A) 750 m

First of all, let's find the wavelength of the microwave. We have

$f=12GHz=12\cdot 10^9 Hz$ is the frequency

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

So the wavelength of the beam is

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{12\cdot 10^9 Hz}=0.025 m$

Now we can use the formula of the single-slit diffraction to find the radius of aperture of the beam:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}$

where

m = 1 since we are interested only in the central fringe

D = 30 km = 30,000 m

a = 2.0 m is the aperture of the antenna (which corresponds to the width of the slit)

Substituting, we find

$y=\frac{(1)(0.025 m)(30000 m)}{2.0 m}=375 m$

and so, the diameter is

$d=2y = 750 m$

B) 0.23 W/m^2

First we calculate the area of the surface of the microwave at a distance of 30 km. Since the diameter of the circle is 750 m, the radius is

$r=\frac{750 m}{2}=375 m$

So the area is

$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (375 m)^2=4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2$

And since the power is

$P=100 kW = 1\cdot 10^5 W$

The average intensity is

$I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{1\cdot 10^5 W}{4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2}=0.23 W/m^2$
