Other things being equal, what would the earth's average temperature have been historically (before the Industrial Revolution) if it reflected only 24% of the light from the sun instead of 30%? The earth's average temperature would be K.

If the temperature of an object goes from 500 K to 9500 K, By what factor is its energy emitted per second increased?
(a) Cherry-red embers in a fireplace are at 850ºC and have an exposed area of 0.200m2 and an emissivity of 0.980. The surrounding room has a temperature of 18.0ºC. If 50% of the radiant energy enters the room, what is the net rate of radiant heat transfer in kilowatts? (b) Does your answer support the contention that most of the heat transfer into a room by a fireplace comes from infrared radiation?
(1a). Figure shows a copper rod AB being heated at one end. Explain how the heat transfers from A to B. What is the name of this method? copper rod A Bunsen burner (1b). The Earth can be considered to be a perfect black body radiator at a temperature of 110°F. Radius of Earth is 6380 km. Calculate the total power radiated from the Earth in Watts (W)
After sitting on a shelf for a while, a can of soda at a room temperature (73∘73∘F) is placed inside a refrigerator and slowly cools. The temperature of the refrigerator is 37∘37∘F. Newton's Law of Cooling explains that the temperature of the can of soda will decrease proportionally to the difference between the temperature of the can of soda and the temperature of the refrigerator, as given by the formula below: �=��+(�0−��)�−��T=Ta+(T0−Ta)e−kt ��=Ta= the temperature surrounding the object�0=T0= the initial temperature of the object�=t= the time in minutes�=T= the temperature of the object after �t minutes�=k= decay constant The can of soda reaches the temperature of 53∘53∘F after 30 minutes. Using this information, find the value of �k, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the can of soda, to the nearest degree, after 60 minutes. Enter only the final temperature into the input box.
Calculate the amount of radiation emitted for a unit surface (1 m2) for a white ball at 53°C and £≈0.12. Express your Answer SI units (in W).
An employee puts m= 1.95 kg of melted ice cream at T0= 3.5ﾟC into the freezer. Assuming that ice cream freezes at T1= -1ﾟC how long in seconds will it take for the ice cream to reach its freezing temperature? The specific heat capacity of the melted ice cream is c= 4000 J/(kg×K)
How much heat (in joules) is required to raise the temperature of 24.4 kg of water from 19 ∘C to 88 ∘C? Express your answer using two significant figures.
What is the rate of energy radiation per unit area of a blackbody at (a) 273 K and (b) 2730 K?
The radiation energy (intensity of the radiation) reaching Earth from the sun at the top of the atmosphere is 1.36×103??2⁄, which is called the solar constant. Assuming that Earth absorb the total power coming from the Sun to the Earth and radiates with the emissivity of 0.8 (not ideal black body) at a uniform temperaturearound the Earth, what would the equilibrium temperature of Earth be?
The escape velocity of any object from Earth is 11.2 km/s. (a) Express this speed in m/s and km/h. Speed, m/s: 11200 Speed, km/h: 40320 (b) At what temperature would oxygen molecules (molecular mass is equal to 32 g/mol) have an average velocity, v, 'ms' equal to Earth's escape velocity 11.2 km/s? Temperature: 1,89 ×108 K No, that's only partially correct
(e) The Sun has a surface temperature of 5770 K, a radius of 6.96 × 10° km, an average distance from Earth of 1.496 x ix 10* km, and radiates e/m radiation into space isotropically. Earth is a sphere with a radius of 6378 km, and on average absorbs 30 percent of the sunlight that shines on it, with the rest reflected back into space. Both the Sun and Earth are opaque to e/m radiation of all wavelengths, so intensity I = oT“, where o is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is Kelvin temperature. Calculate the temperature (in Kelvins) of Earth.
