Yes its true, because most energy is coming from the Sun. Other sources of energy on Earth are Earth internal energy and cosmic radiation but they infuluence much less the temperature of the surface of the Earth compared to the Sun.

A copper cylinder is initially at 21.1 ∘C . At what temperature will its volume be 0.163 % larger than it is at 21.1 ∘C?
fomenos

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the final volume of a body after undergoing a thermal expansion. To determine the temperature, we will use the given relationship as well as the theoretical value of the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion of copper. This is, for example to the initial volume defined as V_1, the relation with the final volume as

V_2 = V_1 +0.163\% V_1

V_2 = V_1 +0.00163V_1

V_2 = 1.00163V_1

Initial temperature = 21.1\°C

Let T be the temperature after expanding by the formula of volume expansion

we have,

V_2 = V_1 (1+\gamma \Delta t)

Where \gamma is the volume coefficient of copper 5.1*10^{-5}/C

1.00163V_1 = V_1(1+\gamma(T-21.1\°))

1.00163 = 1+5.1*10^{-5}(T-21.1\°)

0.00163 = 0.000051T-0.0010761

T = 53.0608\°C

Therefore the temperature is 53.06°C

Operators must slow to no wake speed when within what distance of a u.s. naval vessel?
Alex Ar [27]
Recreational boaters have a role in keeping the waterways safe and secure. Violators of the restrictions can expect a quick and severe response. The operator should not approach within yards and slow to minimum speed within 500 yards of any of united states naval vessel. If the vessel need to pass within 100 yards of a united states naval vessel for safe passage, must contact the united states naval vessel or the united states coast guard escort vessel on VHF-FM channel 16. In addition,

• The operator must perceive and avoid all security areas.

• Avoid commercial port operation areas particularly those that include military cruise line or petroleum amenities. 

• The operator must perceive and avoid other controlled areas near dams, power plants, etc. 

• The operator of the vessel must not discontinue or anchor underneath bridges or in the channel.

Explanation
During the day when temperatures are higher, the snow melts and water enters the cracks in the rock. When the temperature drops below 0°C the water in the crack freezes and expands by about 9 per cent. This makes the crack larger.

Rebecca heated 50mL of water from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. How much energy did she use to heat the water? Rememb
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Q = 12540  J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of water, m = 50 mL = 50 g

It is heated from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius.

We need to find the energy required to heat the water. The formula use to find it as follows :

Q=mc\Delta T

Where c is the specific heat of water, c = 4.18 J/g°C

Put all the values,

Q=50\times 4.18\times (60-0)\\Q=12540\ J

So, 12540 J of energy is used to heat the water.
