<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.

Which of these best describes the relationship between the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal for a curved mirror?(
lions [1.4K]

For a curved mirror, all points have the same normal and the angle of incidence is also equal to the angle of reflection.

According to the laws of reflection, the incident ray, reflected ray and normal all lie on the same plane. For a curved mirror, the normal remains the same at all points along the curved mirror.

Again, the angle made between the incident ray and the normal is the same as the angle made between the reflected ray and the normal. Therefore, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

If a cart of 10 kg mass has a force of 5 newtons exerted on it, what is its acceleration? m/s2
Elza [17]

Answer:

= 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

  • According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportion to the rate of change of linear momentum.

Therefore;<em> F = ma , where F is the Force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.</em>

<em>Thus; a = F/m</em>

<em>but; F = 5 N, and m = 10 kg</em>

<em>  a = 5 /10</em>

    <u>= 0.5 m/s²</u>

What mass of water must evaporate from the skin of a 70.0 kg man to cool his body 1.00 ∘C? The heat of vaporization of water at
romanna [79]

Answer:

100 cc

Explanation:

Heat released in cooling human body by t degree

= mass of the body x specific heat of the body x t

Substituting the data given

Heat released by the body

= 70 x 3480 x 1

= 243600 J

Mass of water to be evaporated

= 243600 / latent heat of vaporization of water

= 243600 / 2420000

= .1 kg

= 100 g

volume of water

= mass / density

= 100 / 1

100 cc

1 / 10 litres.

Many industries are powered via distant power stations. Calculate the current flowing through a 7,300m long 10. copper power lin
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Current, I = 1000 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the copper wire, l = 7300 m

Resistance of copper line, R = 10 ohms

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 T

\mu_o=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ T-m/A

Resistivity, \rho=1.72\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

We need to find the current flowing the copper wire. Firstly, we need to find the radius of he power line using physical dimensions as :

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{\pi r^2}

r=\sqrt{\dfrac{\rho l}{R\pi}}

r=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.72\times 10^{-8}\times 7300}{10\pi}}

r = 0.00199 m

or

r=1.99\times 10^{-3}\ m=2\times 10^{-3}\ m

The magnetic field on a current carrying wire is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}

I=\dfrac{2\pi rB}{\mu_o}

I=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.1\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}

I = 1000 A

So, the current of 1000 A is flowing through the copper wire. Hence, this is the required solution.
