Question

Our Sun shines bright with a luminosity of 3.828 x 1025 Watt. Her energies

Answer 1

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 = $\sqrt[4]{P/Ae}$

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
