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.

I can't decide between A and B, but B seems more likely to me. Even though the molecules don't look like they're moving, the area of contact is slightly more compressed.

Annette [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Let m be mass of the object and v be speed of object b.

Kinetic Energy of B = 1/2 mv^2

Kinetic Energy of A = 1/2 m(2v)^2

= 2 mv^2

= 4 (1/2 mv^2)

= 4 × Kinetic Energy of B

Hence Object A has four times the kinetic energy of object B (<em>A</em><em>n</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>B</em><em>)</em>

A driver sets out on a journey. for the first half of the distance she drives at the leisurely pace of 30 mi/h; during the secon
Gemiola [76]
The average speed of a moving object is the rate of change of a certain distance with respect with time. It is equal to the total distance that was traveled by the object over the total time it takes to travel that distance. For this problem we need to assume that the total distance that was traveled would be equal to 120 miles. So, for the first half of the distance or 60 miles at a speed of 30 miles per hour, the time taken would be two hours. For the remaining 60 miles at a speed of 60 miles per hour, 1 hour is total time traveled. So, we calculate the average speed as follows:

Average speed = total distance / total time
Average speed = 120 miles / 2 hr + 1 hr
Average speed = 40 mi / hr
