Every day a certain amount of water evaporates from Earth’s oceans, lakes, and land surface and forms water vapor and clouds in

the atmosphere. Every day a certain amount of rain falls back to Earth. Make the reasonable assumption that, on average, the energy absorbed by the evaporation and lifting of the water is equal to the energy released by its condensation and falling back to earth. The evaporation of one mole of water requires approximately 40.6×103 J of heat. An equal amount of heat is released when a mole of water condenses.
QUESTION: The annual volume of rainfall on Earth is approximately 4.9×105 km3 and the average cloud altitude is 8.8 km above Earth’s surface. How much energy, in joules, is required every day to evaporate and lift the water?

kogti [31]

Answer:

111.5 m

Explanation:

Given that You are driving to the grocery store at 14 m/s. You are 115 m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. Assume that your reaction time is 0.50 s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. 

Use first equation of motion

V = U - at

Since the car is going to rest, V = 0 and a = negative

0 = 14 - a × 0.5

0.5a = 14

a = 14 /0.5

a = 28 m/s^2

Let us use second equation of motion

S = Ut - 1/2at^2

S = 14 × 0.5 - 0.5 × 28 × 0.5^2

S = 7 - 3.5

S = 3.5 m

115 - 3.5 = 111.5

Therefore, you are 111.5 metres from the intersection (in m) when you begin to apply the brakes.

Aleks [24]

Explanation:

6000 years = 6000 x 365 x 24 x 60 x 60

= 1.892 x 10¹¹ second

 gain is 1 second

1 second is equivalent to 9.193 × 10⁹ oscillations .

In 1.892 x 10¹¹ second ,  change in oscillation is 9.193 × 10⁹ oscillation

in one second change in oscillation = (9.193 / 1.892 ) x 10⁹⁻¹¹

=  4.859 x 10⁻² oscillations .
