The sun continuously radiates energy into space, some of which is intercepted by the earth. The average temperature of the surfa

ce of the earth remains about 300K. Why doesn't the earth's temperature keep rising as it continues to intercept the sun's energy?

Answer: Because of the reflects back into space equal amount of radiation as it receives.

Explanation: The Earth's temperature doesn't keep rising because as the Earth receives the radiation from the sun, the Earth reflects back an equal amount of that radiation back to space.

This reflective ability of a planet of the sun radiation incident on it is known as the albedo.

Komok [63]

Answer:

Some lenses are used to focus light to a pre-defined point based on the amount of curvature of their surfaces.

In a piano design convex, some surfaces are flat while others has positive lenses (biconvex)

Explanation:

Solution

These lenses are applied to pay attention to light in a  point pre-defined  based on the amount of curvature of their surfaces.

For that of a plano-convex design, one surface has a positive curve and for biconvex lenses, both surfaces are positively curved while the other  remains flat.

when used practically, plano-convex lenses are most commonly used where the object being imaged is far apart from lens.

A 1500 kg car traveling at 80.0 km/h comes to a screeching halt in a time of 4.00 seconds. Calculate the force of friction exper
amm1812

Answer:

F=m x a

(F is force ,M is mass and A is acceleration)

in thisncase the Mass is given but we need to find ou the acceleration

Formula for acceleration-

a=(v - u)/t

(v is final velocity , u is initiatal velocity and t is time)

a = (0 - 80)/4

a= -80/4

a= -20

By substituting the values-

F= m x a

F= 1500 x -20

F=-30000N

Thus the force acted is -30000N

hope this helps
