<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.

as the video shows, the star begins its life from a clump of gas that heats up as it contracts. where does the energy that heats
MAXImum [283]

When water vapor condenses during the formation of clouds, energy is released into the atmosphere through the process of latent heating.

Huge amounts of solar energy are absorbed during the evaporation process. There is no thermal equilibrium in protostars. They emit radiation that causes them to lose energy, but their interior temperatures aren't hot enough to start nuclear fusion to replenish the energy. They consequently tighten and warm up. Fusion can replace the energy they are losing once they are heated enough on the inside (about 107 K). The gas atoms start to collide more and get closer together as the cloud gets smaller, which warms them up. The cloud keeps shrinking and heating up until the force of gravity is balanced by the pressure from the heat.

an object of mass 8 kg is whriled round in a vertical circle of radius 2m with a constant speed of 6m/s .Then the maximum and mi
algol13

Answer:

Maximum Tension=224N

Minimum tension= 64N

Explanation:

Given

mass =8 kg

constant speed = 6m/s .

g=10m/s^2

Maximum Tension= [(mv^2/ r) + (mg)]

Minimum tension= [(mv^2/ r) - (mg)]

Then substitute the values,

Maximum Tension= [8 × 6^2)/2 +(8×9.8)] = 224N

Minimum tension= [8 × 6^2)/2 -(8×9.8)]

=64N

Hence, Minimum tension and maximum Tension are =64N and 2224N respectively

A particle whose speed is 50 m/sec moves along the line from A(2,1) to B (9,25)
WINSTONCH [101]

First, calculate for the distance between the given points A and B by using the equation,

<span>                                                D = sqrt ((x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2)</span>

 

Substitute the known values:

<span>                                                D = sqrt((9 – 2)2 + (25 – 1)2)</span>

<span>                                                D = 25 m</span>

 

I assume the unknown here is the time it would require for the particle to move from point A to B. This can be answered by dividing the calculated distance by the speed given above.

<span>                                                t = (25 m)/ (50 m/s) = 0.5 s</span>

 

<span>Thus, it will take 0.5s for the particle to complete the route. </span>
