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%

The coefficient of kinetic friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 0.40 the weight of the object
Ann [662]

The frictional force of an object is the product of the normal force and coefficient of kinetic friction. Here the frictional force acting on the object  is 16.4 N.

<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>

Frictional force is a kind of force acting on a body to resist it from motion. Thus, the direction of the force will be in negative with the magnitude. Frictional force is the product of coefficient of friction and the normal force.

The normal  force acting on the object of mass 4.2 Kg is N = mg

N = 4.2 Kg × 9.8 m/s² = 41.16 N

Frictional force = ц N

                         = 0.40 × 41.16 N

                         = 16.4 N.

Therefore, the frictional force acting between the surface of the object and the floor is 16.4 N

PLEASE HELP! 2ND TIME I ASKED THIS!!!
Goshia [24]

The train is moving at 50 m/s and Emma is walking down the aisle with 1 m/s speed in the same direction of train. The relative velocity of Emma with respect to other passengers pf the train would be 1 m/s. This is because, the train is not moving relative to them and only emma is moving at 1 m/s. If a person observes from outside, Emma would have (50 +1) m/s = 51 m/s velocity.

relative velocity when two objects are moving in same direction as oberved from outside observer:

v_{ab}=v_a+v_b

relative velocity when two objects are moving in the opposite directionas oberved from outside observer:

v_{ab}=v_a-v_b
