Earth's temperature remains fairly steady, which means that earth must return the same amount of energy to space that it receives from the sun. in what forms does earth return most of this energy to space?
a) visible light reflected by clouds
b) ultraviolet light reflected by the surface
c) visible light reflected by the surfa

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.

Along wire of diameter 1 mm is submerged in an oil bath of temperature ∞ 31°c. the wire has an electrical resistance per unit length of 0.01 ω/m. if a current of 103 a flows through the wire and the convection coefficient is 500 w/m2·k, what is the steady-state temperature of the wire? from the time the current is applied, how long does it take for the wire to reach a temperature that is within 1°c of the steady-state value? the properties of the wire are 8000 kg/m3, 500 j/kg·k, and 20 w/m·k.

A75-hp (shaft output) motor that has an efficiency of 91.0 percent is worn out and is to be replaced by a high-efficiency motor that has an efficiency of 95.4 percent. the motor operates 4368 hours a year at a load factor of 0.75. taking the cost of electricity to be $0.12/kwh, determine the amount of energy and money saved as a result of installing the high-efficiency motor instead of the standard motor. also, determine the simple payback period if the pu
