What happens to solar radiation when it is absorbed

Physics
1 answer:
Zanzabum2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Absorbed sunlight is balanced by heat radiated from Earth's surface and atmosphere. ... The atmosphere radiates heat equivalent to 59 percent of incoming sunlight; the surface radiates only 12 percent. In other words, most solar heating happens at the surface, while most radiative cooling happens in the atmosphere

14. Which is the relationship between photon energy and frequency?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The amount of energy is directly proportional to the photon's electromagnetic frequency and thus, equivalently, is inversely proportional to the wavelength. The higher the photon's frequency, the higher its energy.

i hope this helps.

To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance
mart [117]

Answer:

a. 120 W

b. 28.8 N

Explanation:

To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance. Suppose a cyclist is traveling at 15 km/h on level ground. Assume he is using 480 W of metabolic power.

a. Estimate the amount of power he uses for forward motion.

b. How much force must he exert to overcome the force of air resistance?

(a) He is 25% efficient, therefore the cyclist will be expending 25% of his power to drive the bicycle forward

Power = efficiency X metabolic power

= 0.25 X 480

= 120 W

(b)

power if force times the velocity

P = Fv

convert  15 km/h to m/s

v = 15 kmph = 4.166 m/s

F = P/v

= 120/4.166

= 28.8 N

definition of terms

power is the rate at which work is done

force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line

velocity is the change in displacement per unit time.

How does the force the Earth exerts on you compare with the force you exert on it?
Pie

Answer:

C.Earth and you exert equal and opposite forces on each other.

Explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

The force that the earth exerts on any object is due to the force of gravity and is known as weight, F = mg, this force is directed towards the center of the earth, in addition, according to the laws of physics for any action must have a reaction, in this case it is a force that goes out  from the ground and it is directed upwards, this force is called normal and it has the same magnitude of your weight but the opposite direction.

Have a great day.
