What is the term for the total radiation that is reflected by a surface?

Physics

VMariaS [17]3 years ago
5 0
The term used for the total radiation that is reflected by a surface is albedo. It is the percent of solar energy that is being reflected from our Earth back into the space.  It is a dimensionless value since it is a percentage and ranges from a value of zero (corresponds to a perfect black body where it absorbs all of the radiation) to one (corresponds to a white body where all radiation is being reflected). This term is very useful in astronomy, climatology and environmental management. The average albedo of Earth is found to range from 30 percent to 35 percent due to the clouds present in the atmosphere.

A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude of 3.18x10 m. Find the period and th orbital speed of the sat
Leona [35]

Answer:

112.17 m/s

56.427 years

Explanation:

h = 3.18 x 10^10 m

R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

r = R + h = 3.18064 x 10^10 m

M = 6 x 10^24 kg

The formula for the orbital velocity is given by

v = \sqrt{\frac{G M }{r}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}  }{3.18064\times 10^{10}}}

v = 112.17 m/s

Orbital period, T = 2 x 3.14 x 3.18064 x 10^10 / 112.17

T = 0.178 x 10^10 s

T = 56.427 years

The laboratory is based on the assumption that at the two points of the motion being considered, the mass is at rest. What kind
Yuri [45]

Answer:

In summary kinetic energy is not necessary

Explanation:

In this problem we are asked to indicate what type of energy does not need to be considered.

As they indicate that the masses do not move, scientific energy is defined by

      K = ½ m v²

Since the velocities of the mass are zero, this energy is zero, so it is not necessary to take them into account in our analyzes.

In summary kinetic energy is not necessary

A car has a mass of 8000kg and a kinetic energy of 24,000j. What is the speed?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

2.5m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

Mass = m= 8000kg

Velocity(speed) = v =

K. E = 24000J

K. E = 1/2 x 8000 x v²

24000 = 4000 x v²

Divide both sides by 4000

V²= 24000/4000

V² = 6

Find square root of both sides

V = √6

V = 2.5 m/s

The S. I unit of energy is joules with symbol J

I hope this was helpful, Please mark as brainliest

Refrigerant entering the compressor of a refrigeration system is a:________
schepotkina [342]

Refrigerant entering the compressor of a refrigeration system is sub-cooled liquid

The liquid refrigerant is sub-cooled to ensure that only liquid and not the vapour enters the throttling valve. In a refrigeration system, the superheating decreases COP increase refrigerating effect but increasing amount of work done. The coefficient of performance or COP (sometimes CP or CoP) of a heat pump, refrigerator or air conditioning system is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required. Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs.
