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.

A 45.0 kg skier testing a new competitive ski wax drops off a ledge, goes into a crouch and goes straight down a slope of 10.0◦

Neko [114]

Answer:

v = 21.03 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of skier = 45 kg

the slope of the snow = 10.0◦

coefficient of friction = 0.114

distance traveled = 300 m

speed = ?

Acceleration = g sin θ - µ g Cos θ

= 9.8 × Sin (10°) - 0.10 × 9.8 × Cos(10°)

= 0.737 m/s²

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

v² = 0 + 2 × 0.737 × 300

v = 21.03 m/s

Speed of skier's after travelling 300 m speed is equal to 21.03 m/s

An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

The angular frequency, ω, of a loaded spring is related to the period, T, by

$\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

The maximum velocity of the oscillation occurs at the equilibrium point and is given by

$v = \omega A$

A is the amplitude or maximum displacement from the equilibrium.

$v = \dfrac{2\pi A}{T}$

From the the question, T = 0.58 and A = 25 cm = 0.25 m. Taking π as 3.142,

$v = \dfrac{2\times3.142\times0.25\text{ m}}{0.58\text{ s}} = 2.71 \text{ m/s}$

To determine the height we reached, we consider the beginning of the vertical motion as the equilibrium point with velocity, v. Since it is against gravity, acceleration of gravity is negative. At maximum height, the final velocity is 0 m/s. We use the equation

$v_f^2 = v_i^2+2ah$
