The reflective quality of a surface is known as its
Brut [27]
<h2>Answer: Albedo </h2>

The <u>albedo</u> is an amount that expresses the percentage of radiation a surface reflects with respect to the incident radiation.

In other words:

This amount allows us to know the level of radiation that <u>reflects</u> a surface compared to the total <u>radiation it receives</u>.

According to this, light surfaces such as snow covered ground or white sand will have a higher albedo than dark surfaces such as carbon covered ground. It is also important to note, the albedo will be higher on glossy surfaces than on matte surfaces.

It should be noted that the albedo of the Earth is on average about 37\%, which means that part of the radiation received by the Sun is absorbed and another part reflected back to space.

A 50 kg pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 0.15 kg. If the ball is thrown with a positive velocity of 35 m/s and there is
Andreas93 [3]

The velocity of the pitcher is <u>0.105 m/s</u> in a direction opposite to the velocity of the ball.

When no external force acts on a system, the total momentum of the system is conserved. The total initial momentum of the system is equal to the total final momentum of the system.

The pitcher and the ball are initially at rest, therefore, the total initial momentum of the system is zero.

Since no external forces act on the system comprising of pitcher and the ball, the total final momentum of the system is also equal to zero.

If the mass of the pitcher is mp and its speed is vp, the mass of the ball is mb and the ball's speed is vb, then the final momentum of the system of pitcher and the ball is given by,

p=m_pv_p+m_bv_b=0

Therefore,

v_p=-\frac{m_b}{m_p} v_p

Substituet 0.15 kg for mb, 50 kg for mp and 35 m/s for vb.

v_p=-\frac{m_b}{m_p} v_p=-\frac{0.15 kg}{50 kg} (35m/s)=-0.105 m/s

The pitcher has a velocity <u> 0.105 m/s</u> opposite to the direction of the velocity of the ball.

What is the purpose of a kink in a thermometer?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A 'kink' in the glass tube which breaks the mercury as it contracts, storing the highest temperature reading. The glass tube is shaped like a lens to magnify the thin mercury thread. Shaking the thermometer resets the mercury back into the bulb.

A 3" diameter germanium wafer that is 0.020" thick at 300K has 1.015 x 10^17 As atoms added to it. What is the resistivity of th
Ber [7]

Answer:

0.546 ohm / μm

Explanation:

Given that :

N = 1.015 * 10^17

Electron mobility, u = 3900

Hole mobility, h = 1900

Ng = 4.42 x10^22

q = 1.6*10^-19

Resistivity = 1/qNu

Resistivsity (R) = 1/(1.6*10^-19 * 1.015 * 10^17 * 3900)

= 0.01578880889 ohm /cm

Resistivity of germanium :

R = 1 / 2q * sqrt(Ng) * sqrt(u*h)

R = 1 / 2 * 1.6*10^-19 * sqrt(4.42 x10^22) * sqrt(3900*1900)

R = 1 /0.0001831

R = 5461.4964 ohm /cm

5461.4964 / 10000

0.546 ohm / μm
