That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".
'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.
If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is
(200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .
Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation. It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.
Wait !
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all. I have no idea what "1 sun" means. Forgive me. I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.
Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.
1 sun = 1 kW/m².
So 2/3 of a kW per m² = 2/3 of 1 sun
That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.
I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.
Explanation: Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion.
Answer:
6.0 m below the top of the cliff
Explanation:
We can find the velocity at which the ball dropped from the cliff reaches the ground by using the SUVAT equation
where
u = 0 (it starts from rest)
g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity, we assume downward as positive direction)
h = 24 m is the distance covered
Solving for h,
So the ball thrown upward is launched with this initial velocity:
u = 21.7 m/s
From now on, we take instead upward as positive direction.
The vertical position of the ball dropped from the cliff at time t is
While the vertical position of the ball thrown upward is
The two balls meet when
So the two balls meet after 1.11 s, when the position of the ball dropped from the cliff is
So the distance below the top of the cliff is
