Answer:

Absorbed solar radiation undergoes irreversible degradations, transferring from reservoir to another converting from light energy to radiation energy.

Explanation:

The solar energy cycle functions in the following form:

  • Considering that 100% of energy is directed at earth.
  • When 100% light is incident on the Earth's surface about 6-7% of it is reflected back by the atmosphere into space.
  • 20% is reflected back by the clouds.
  • And about 4% is reflected back by Earth's surface.
  • 16% of solar energy is absorbed by the atmosphere, 3% is absorbed by clouds and 51% is absorbed by  land and ocean.
  • From the absorbed energy, 64% is radiated back to space from clouds and atmosphere and 6% is directly radiated back to space from earth.
  • From the radiated energy 15% is absorbed by the atmosphere and 23% is carried by the clouds and atmosphere through the latent heat in water vapor.

Therefore, absorbed solar radiation undergoes irreversible degradations, transferring from reservoir to another converting from light energy to radiation energy.

Collect information about working of Geyser and prepare a report
ikadub [295]
A geyser is actually a devise that coverts electrical energy into heat energy for heating up water. The heating element that is inside the geyser actually gets heated up and then in turn it heats the water in contact with it within the geyser. There is also a thermostat device within the geyser that cuts off the heating when the water temperature reaches the desired level. This helps in stopping of electrical energy loss. One inlet brings in cold water while another outlet gets rid of the hot water. When the temperature of the water falls below the desired level the heating is again started by the thermostat.

Explain how ozone is both beneficial and detrimental to human health.
Gemiola [76]


The ozone layer is beneficial because it protects us from the ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Without it, survival would be difficult. It is harmful by containing all the pollution and chemicals . That damages our lungs and causes chest pain, coughing,etc.

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. the orbit for satellite a is at a height of 542 km above the earth's sur
Evgen [1.6K]
Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite 
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g' 
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h): 
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)] 
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec 
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec

Air contained in a rigid, insulated tank fitted with a paddle wheel, initially at 300 K, 2 bar, and a volume of 3 m3, is stirred
madam [21]

Answer:

a)P₂ =4 bar

b)W= - 1482.48 KJ

It means that work done on the system.

c)S₂ - S₁ = 3.42 KJ/K

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 300 K   ,V₁ = 3 m³  ,P₁=2 bar

T₂ = 600 K ,V₂=V₁ 3 m³

Given that tank is rigid and insulated.It means that volume of the gas will remain constant.

Lets take the final pressure = P₂

For ideal gas  P V = m R T

\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}=\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}

P_2=\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\times P_1

P_2=\dfrac{600}{300}\times 2

P₂ =4 bar

Internal energy

ΔU = m Cv ΔT

Cv=0.71 KJ/kg.k for air

m=\dfrac{PV}{RT}

m=\dfrac{200\times 3}{0.287\times 300}\ kg

m= 6.96 kg

ΔU= 6.96 x 0.71 x (600 - 300)

ΔU=1482.48 KJ

From first law

Q= ΔU + W

Q= 0  Insulated

W = - ΔU

W= - 1482.48 KJ

It means that work done on the system.

Change in the entropy

S_2-S_1=mC_v\ \ln\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}

S_2-S_1=6.96\times 0.71\ \ln\dfrac{600}{300}

S₂ - S₁ = 3.42 KJ/K
