Explain how energy balance sets planetary temperature? Imagine a planet colder than expected for energy balance and explain why

it warms up just enough to achieve energy balance but no more (assume no greenhouse gases).

The planetary temperature energy balance is obtained by radiating back the absorbed radiation energy from outer-space, by the planet and thus acquiring thermal equilibrium.

What is the process of attaining thermal equilibrium by Earth?

The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the more the temperature a planet has, the more it will radiate out to reach thermal equilibrium.

We know that outer space contains large masses of radiative energy freely distributed in its vast expanse. A small fraction of this energy is absorbed by the Earth through the atmosphere, surface land, clouds etc.

Now, radiative balance is achieved when a planet's surface continuously warms up until it reaches its peak at which point the same amount of absorbed energy can then be radiated back to space. The relative amount of energy radiated back by a planet is dependent upon the size of the planet.

A colder planet relatively absorbs lower amount of radiation energy from space. In some time, as the planet heats up enough, the energy is radiated back to the space attaining thermal equilibrium.

When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

b) True.    the force of air drag on him is equal to his weight.

Explanation:

Let us propose the solution of the problem in order to analyze the given statements.

The problem must be solved with Newton's second law.

When he jumps off the plane

     fr - w = ma

Where the friction force has some form of type.

     fr = G v + H v²

Let's replace

     (G v + H v²) - mg = m dv / dt

We can see that the friction force increases as the speed increases

At the equilibrium point

      fr - w = 0

      fr = mg

      (G v + H v2) = mg

For low speeds the quadratic depended is not important, so we can reduce the equation to

     G v = mg

     v = mg / G

This is the terminal speed.

Now let's analyze the claims

a) False is g between the friction force constant

b) True.

c) False. It is equal to the weight

d) False. In the terminal speed the acceleration is zero

e) False. The friction force is equal to the weight

A 10 kg blue cart moving to the right at 25 m/s collides with a 17 kg red cart moving in the opposite direction at 16 m/s. If, a
scoray [572]

Answer:

24.8m/s

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 10kg

u1=25m/s

m2=17kg

u2=16m/s

v1=10m/s

v2=??

Applying the conservation of linear momentum

m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2

substitute

10*25+17*16=10*10+17*v2

250+272=100+17v2

522=100+17v2

522-100=17v2

422=17v2

Divide both sides by 17

v2= 422/17

v2= 24.8 m/s

Hence the velocity of the red cart is 24.8m/s in the opposite direction of the blue cart
