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.

HELP PLEASE <br> Find the net force necessary for a 15 kg object to accelerate at 20 m/s/s.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 300 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given the mass and acceleration we use the formula

<h3>force = mass × acceleration</h3>

We have

force = 15 × 20

We have the final answer as

<h3>300 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

Yes! Although the object has potential energy, the object is not moving and therefore has no speed. :)
