Answer:

it is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the case when approx 50% only of the solar energy would be directed towards earth and it would be penetrates directly to the surface so the rest or remaining of the radiation would be either absorbed or refected by the atmosphere

So as per the given situation the above represent the answer

hence, the same is to be considered and relevant

What are applications of zeroth law of thermodynamics?​
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Applications of zeroth law of thermodynamics:

1. When we get very hot food, we wait to make it normal. In this case, hot food exchanges heat with surrounding and brings equilibrium.

2. We keep things in the fridge and those things come equilibrium with fridge temperature.

3. Temperature measurement with a thermometer or another device.

4. In the HVAC system, sensors or thermostats are used to indicate temperature. It always comes in a thermal equilibrium with room temperature.

5. If you and the swimming pool you’re in are at the same temperature, no heat is flowing from you to it or from it to you (although the possibility is there). You’re in thermal equilibrium.

A boat moves through the water of a river at 10m/s relative to the water, regardless of the boat ‘s direction . If the water in
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "61.37 s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Boat moves,

= 10 m/s

Water flowing,

= 1.50 m/s

Displacement,

d = 300 m

Now,

The boat is travelling,

= 10+1.50

= 11.5 \ m/s

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ v = \frac{d}{t} \ sot \ t

      =\frac{d}{v}

On putting the values, we get

      =\frac{300}{11.5}

      =26.08 \ s

Throughout the opposite direction, when the boat seems to be travelling then,

= 10-1.50

= 8.5 \ m/s

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ v=\frac{v}{t} \ sot \ t

      =\frac{d}{v}

On putting the values, we get

      =\frac{300}{8.5}

      =35.29 \ s

hence,

The time taken by the boat will be:

= 26.08+35.29

= 61.37 \ s
