Once energy from the Sun gets to Earth, several things can happen to it:
Energy can be scattered or absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are dust, soot, sulfates and nitric oxides. When aerosols absorb energy, the atmosphere becomes warmer. When aerosols scatter energy, the atmosphere is cooled.
Short wavelengths are absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere.
Clouds may act to either reflect energy out to space or absorb energy, trapping it in the atmosphere.
The land and water at Earth's surface may act to either reflect energy or absorb it. Light colored surfaces are more likely to reflect sunlight, while dark surfaces typically absorb the energy, warming the planet.
Albedo is the percentage of the Sun's energy that is reflected back by a surface. Light colored surfaces like ice have a high albedo, while dark colored surfaces tend to have a lower albedo. The buildings and pavement in cities have such a low albedo that cities have been called "heat islands" because they absorb so much energy that they warm up.
F = ma
Acceleration in this case is acceleration due to gravity so
a = 9.8 m/s^2
and mass = 0.57kg
So..
F = (0.57)(9.8)
F = 5.586 or 5.56 N
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
Gases flying out at high velocity out the back
rocket flying forward
Answer:
44 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Horizontal velocity of the ball, u = 40 m/s
It is 6 m above the level field.
We need to find the distance covered by the ball when move horizontally before striking the ground. Let it is d.
Firstly, we will find time taken for the ball to hit the ground. Using second equation of motion as follows :

Put u = 0 and a = g

No finding the horizontal distance as follows :
d = ut
d = 40 m/s × 1.1 s
d = 44 m
So, the ball will move 44 m horizontally before striking the ground.
