3) Mars's Perseverance Rover left the NASA's space station with an ambient temperature of 12°C. During its journey
in space between the Earth and Mars, it endured 49'R. Upon landing on the Martian surface, the Mars's Perseverance
Rover recorded a surface temperature of -81°F.
a) What is the temperature difference between the Martian surface and the NASA's space station's ambient
temperature in Kelvin?

station and entered the vacuum of space?
One of the tallest buildings in the world is the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, at a height of 1671 feet. Assume that this height was measured on a cool spring day when the temperature was 16 ℃. You could use the building as a sort of a giant thermometer on a hot summer day by carefully measuring its height. Suppose you do this and discover that the Taipei 101 is 0.478 feet taller than its official height. What is the temperature of this summer day, assuming that the building is in thermal equilibrium with the air and that its entire frame is made of steel?
A. The planet Venus is different from the earth in several respects: (a) it is
only 70 % as far from the sun, so the solar constant is 2800 W/m²; (b) its
thick clouds reflect 77% of all incident sunlight and (c) its atmosphere is
much more opaque to infrared light.
B.
(i) Estimate what the average surface temperature of Venus would be if it
had no atmosphere and did not reflect any sunlight.
(ii) Taking into account the reflectivity of the clouds, estimate the surface
temperature.
Use the theory of Earth's energy balance to discuss the greenhouse effect.

- What would be the temperature of 40.0 g of 22°C water mixed with 60.0 g of 80°C water? Answer in degrees Celsius. Here's the logical pathway to find the answer: The cold water absorbs heat according to Q1 = 40*4.186*(T-22). The hot water loses heat according to Q2 = 60*4.186*(80-T). Q1 must equal Q2, so solve for T, the equilibrium temperature.arrow_forwardA 6-m-long section of an 8-cm-diameter horizontal hot-water pipe passes through a large room whose temperature is 20°C.
