The percentage of incident light radiation reflected back to space is termed albedo. True or false?

Physics

Answer:True

Explanation:

Albedo is a unit-less, non-dimensional quantity that shows how well a surface reflects solar energy. The value of albedo can vary from 0 to 1, 0 being the black and 1 refers to a white surface. Zero means Surface is a perfect absorber i.e. it absorbs all the incoming rays incidents on it. Albedo 1 means the surface is a perfect reflector.

Albedo usually applies for visible light, even though it may involve some of the infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The average albedo associated with earth surface is 30%

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion.

By definition we know that the position of a body is given by

x=x_0+v_0t+at^2

Where

x_0 = Initial position

v_0 = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t= time

And the velocity can be expressed as,

v_f = v_0 + at

Where,

v_f = Final velocity

For our case we have that there is neither initial position nor initial velocity, then

x= at^2

With our values we have x = 401.4m, t=4.945s, rearranging to find a,

a=\frac{x}{t^2}

a = \frac{ 401.4}{4.945^2}

a = 16.41m/s^2

Therefore the final velocity would be

v_f = v_0 + at

v_f = 0 + (16.41)(4.945)

v_f = 81.14m/s

Therefore the final velocity is 81.14m/s

Is the relationship between velocity and centripetal force a direct, linear or nonlinear square relationship?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

non linear square relationship

Explanation:

formula for centripetal force is given as

a = mv^2/r

here a ic centripetal acceleration , m is mass of body moving in circle of radius r and v is velocity of body . If m ,and r are constant we have

a = constant × v^2

a α v^2

hence non linear square relationship

xz_007 [3.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

total mass = 410 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

density = 1.8 g/cm³

volume = 200 cm³

                              density = mass / volume

                              mass (of liquid) = density   x    volume

                                        = 1.8 x 200

                                        = 360 g

          total mass (beaker + liquid) = 50 + 360 = 410 g     [Ans]

Hope this helps!
