At the same pressure and temperature. its thermal expansion coefficient (2.57E( -4) K- 1) and its bulk modulus is 2. 147E(9) Pa .

- Let's stop ignoring the greenhouse effect and incorporate it into the previous problem in a very rough way. Assume the atmosphere is a single layer, a spherical shell around Earth, with an emissivity e 0.77 (chosen simply to give the light answer) at infrared wavelengths emitted by Earth and by the atmosphere. However, the atmosphere is transparent to the Sun's radiation (that is, assume the radiation is at visible wavelengths with no infrared), so the Sun's radiation leaches the surface. The greenhouse effect comes from the difference between the atmosphere transmission of visible light and its rather strong absorption of infrared. Note that the atmosphere's radius is not significantly different from Earth's, but since the atmosphere is a layer above Earth, it emits radiation both upward and downward, so it has twice Earth's area. There are three radiative energy transfers in this problem: solar radiation absorbed by Earth's surface; infrared radiation from the surface, which is absorbed by the atmosphere according to its emissivity; and infrared radiation from the atmosphere, half of which is absorbed by Earth and half of which goes out into space. Apply the method of the previous problem to get an equation for Earth 's surface and one for the atmosphere, and solve them for the two unknown temperatures, surface and atmosphere. a. In terms of Earth's radius, the constant , and the unknown temperature Ts of the surface, what is the power of the infrared radiation from the surface? b. What is the power of Earth 's radiation absorbed by the atmosphere? c. In terms of the unknown temperature Te of the atmosphere, what is the power radiated from the atmosphere? d. Write an equation that says the power of the radiation the atmosphere absorbs from Earth equals the of the radiation it emits. e. Half of the power radiated by the atmosphere hits Earth. Write an equation that says that the power Earth absorbs from the atmosphere and the Sun equals the power that it emits. f. Solve your two equations for the unknown temperature of Earth. For steps that make this model less crude, see for example (https://openstaxcollege.org/l/21paulgormlec) by Paul O'Gorrnan.arrow_forwardCeres is the largest asteriod in the Solar System.But with a mass of q.38 x 102º kg, a radius of 469.73 KM,and a maximum surface temperature of - 38.15°C it doesn't have enough gravity to keep an atmosphere.If the density of Ceres were to remain the same, what would its radius need to be (in kilometers) for itš escape velocity to the rms speed Of Hydrogen gas (H,) ot its maximum svrface temperature?arrow_forwardThe free energy is defined as follows: av (k₂1)³2 5/2 F = Nk, Tin N Here, Nis the number of particles of gas, Vis the volume of the gas, I is the k₂ temperature of the gas, is the Boltzmann constant, and is the constant.

- Derive Kelvin’s formula and the maximum free energy formula: rd* = 2 σLV /nL RT ln S ΔG = 16 π σLV^3 / 3 (nL RT ln S)^2 where σLV =surface tension, nL = moles of liquid water per unit volume, R = universal gas constant, T = temperature S = supersaturation pure liquid water = e/es(T) : e = water vapor partial pressure The first equation can also be rearranged to give an expression for the supersaturation, S: ln S = 2 σLV /nL RT rd* or S = exp(2 σLV /nL RT rd*)arrow_forwardThe number density of gas atoms at a certain location in the space above our planet is about 1.00 X 1011 m-3 and the pressure is 2.75 X 10-10 N/m2 in this space.

- The escape velocity from the Moon is much smaller than that from the Earth, only 2.38 km/s. At what temperature would hydrogen molecules (molar mass is equal to 2.016 g/mol) have a root-mean-square velocity vrms equal to the Moon’s escape velocity?arrow_forwardAtmospheric pressure on Earth at its surface is 101 KPa (101 kilopascals or 101,000 N/m2). Which of these statements is true. When we reduce the pressure in the container while keeping the temperature constant, the number of atoms per m3 must stay constant. At 1 atmosphere, the number of atoms/m3 in air at room temperature is about 109, one billion atoms. If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will be fewer than 100 atoms per m3 in the container. If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will still be more than 1010 (10 billion) atoms per cm3 in the container.arrow_forwardThe escape velocity of any object from Earth is 11.2 km/s.
