describes how the color and texture of a surface affect absorption and reflection of solar radiation?

1 answer:

3 0

Most of the radiation, however, is absorbed by the earth's surface. ... Every surface on earth absorbs and reflects energy at varying degrees, based on its color and texture. Dark-colored objects absorb more visible radiation; light-colored objects reflect more visible radiation.

he electronics supply company where you work has two different resistors, R1 and R2, in its inventory, and you must measure the

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

R₁ = 50.77 Ω

Explanation:

Since, we know that:

Electric Power = P = VI

but from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

(or) I = V/R

Therefore,

P = V²/R

(OR) R = V²/P

where,

V = Battery Voltage

R = Resistance of combination

FOR SERIES COMBINATION:

R = Rs = (57 V)²/48 W

Rs = 67.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rs = R₁ + R₂

R₁ + R₂ = 67.69 Ω

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - R₂ __________ eqn (1)

FOR PARALLEL COMBINATION:

R = Rp = (57 V)²/256 W

Rp = 12.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rp = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 12.69 Ω

using eqn (1) and value of R₁ + R₂, we get

Rp = 12.69 = R₂(67.69 - R₂)/67.69

859.08 = 67.69 R₂ - R₂²

R₂² - 67.69 R₂ + 859.08 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation we get the answers:

Either, R₂ = 50.76 Ω

Either, R₂ = 16.92 Ω

Since, it is stated in the question that R₁ > R₂. Therefore, we choose the second value. So,

using this value in eqn (1), we get:

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - 16.92 Ω

While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.40 m/s2 for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b)

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) See attached picture, b) We know the initial velocity = 0, initial position=0, time=12.0s, acceleration= $2.40m/s^{2}$ , c) the car travels 172.8m in those 12 seconds, d) The car's final velocity is 28.8m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to draw a sketch of the situation, I must include the data I know, the data I would like to know and a drawing of the car including the direction of the movement and its acceleration, just like in the attached picture.

b) From the information given by the problem I know:

initial velocity =0

acceleration = $2.40m/s^{2}$

time = 12.0 s

initial position = 0

unknown:

displacement.

in order to choose the appropriate equation, I must take the knowns and the unknown and look for a formula I can use to solve for the unknown. I know the initial velocity, initial position, time, acceleration and I want to find out the displacement. The formula that contains all this data is the following:

$x=x_{0}+V_{x0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}$

Once I got the equation I need to find the displacement, I can plug the known values in, like this:

$x=0+0(12s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}$

after cancelling the pertinent units, I get that my answer will be given in meters. So I get:

$x=\frac{1}{2} (2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}$

which solves to:

$x=172.8m$

So the displacement of the car in 12 seconds is 172.8m, which makes sense taking into account that it will be accelerating for 12 seconds and each second its velocity will increase by 2.4m/s.

d) So, like the previous part of the problem, I know the initial position of the car, the time it travels, the initial velocity and its acceleration. Now I also know what its final position is, so we have more than enough information to find this answer out.

I need to find the final velocity, so I need to use an equation that will use some or all of the known data and the unknown. In order to solve this problem, I can use the following equation:

$a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{0} }{t}$
