Answer:
a) E = 1.58 10²¹ J , b) Oil = 4,236 107 liter , e) T = 54.3 C
Explanation:
a) To calculate the energy that reaches Earth, let us combine that the power emitted by the Sun is distributed uniformly on a spherical surface
I = P / A
A = 4π r²
in this case the radius of the sphere is the distance from the Sun to Earth r = 1.5 10¹¹ m
I = P / A
I = P / 4π r²
let's calculate
I = 3,828 10²⁵/4 pi (1.5 10¹¹)²
I = 1.3539 10²W / m² = 135.4 W / m2
the energy that reaches the disk of the Earth is
E = I A
the area of a disc
A = π r²
E = I π r²
where r is the radius of the Earth 6.37 10⁶ m
E = 135.4 π(6.37 10⁶)
E = 1,726 10¹⁶ W
This is the energy per unit of time that reaches Earth
t = 1 dai (24h / 1day) (3600s / 1h) = 86400 s
E = 1,826 10¹⁶ 86400
E = 1.58 10²¹ J
b) for this part we can use a direct proportions rule
Oil = 1.58 10²¹ (1 / 37.3 10⁶)
Oil = 4,236 10⁷ liter
c) to silence the surface temperature of the Earth we use the Stefan-Bolztman Law
P = σ A e T⁴
T =
nos indicate the refect, therefore the amount of absorbencies
P_absorbed = 0.7 P
let's calculate
T = REA (0.7 1.58 1021 / [pi (6.37 106) 2 1)
T = RER (8,676 106)
T = 54.3 C
b) Among the other factors that must be taken into account is the greenhouse effect, due to the absorption of gases from the atmosphere
