A train travels due south at 24 m/s (relative to the ground) in a rain that is blown toward the south by the wind. The path of e
ach raindrop makes an angle of 70° with the vertical, as measured by an observer stationary on the ground. An observer on the train, however, sees the drops fall perfectly vertically. Determine the speed of the raindrops relative to the ground.

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
