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%

22) A driver traveling at 80 km/h brakes her 2000 kg truck to stop for a red light. How much internal energy is produced

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

$E=4.9\times 10^5\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of a driver, v = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

The mass of the truck, m = 2000 kg

We need to find how much internal energy is produced. The internal energy produced by a truck is its kinetic energy and it is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot22.22^{2}\cdot2000\\\\E=493728.4\ J$

$E=4.9\times 10^5\ J$

So, $4.9\times 10^5\ J$ of internal energy is produced.

Two piano strings produce beats. Frequencies of the strings are 1560 Hz. and 1563 Hz. Choose the correct frequency of the beats.

kakasveta [241]

Beat frequency is given by the difference of two frequencies played together

$f_{beat} = |f_1 - f_2|$

given that

$f_1 = 1560 Hz$

$f_2 = 1563 Hz$

Now

$f_{beat} = |1560- 1563| Hz$

$f_{beat} = 3 Hz$

Taden has found a table of the atmospheric layers of the Sun. However, he can’t make out the names of the layers in the chart.

zhenek [66]

The sun is a ball of hot gases containing different kinds of elements at different cores. It has a very high temperature that radiates all throughout the Milky Way galaxy. The sun has three main parts; photosphere, chromospheres and corona. The outer core of a star located at the chromospheres contains mostly of hydrogen. Inside the hydrogen is helium then carbon, oxygen, neon, magnesium silicon and the inert gas. The photosphere is scattered by the loose electrons in the corona’s plasma.
