At our distance from the Sun, the intensity of solar radiation is 1 370 W/m2. The temperature of the Earth is affected by the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere. This phenomenon describes the effect of absorption of infrared light emitted by the surface so as to make the surface temperature of the Earth higher than if it were airless. For comparison, consider a spherical object of radius r with no atmosphere at the same distance from the Sun as the Earth.
Assume its emissivity is the same for all kinds of electromagnetic waves and its temperature is uniform over its surface.
Compute its steady-state temperature. Is it chilly?

Determine the time it takes for a satellite to orbit the earth in a circular "near-earth" orbit. the definition of "near-earth" orbit is one which is at a height above the surface of the earth which is small compared to the radius of the earth, so that you may take the acceleration due to gravity as essentially the same as that on the surface. does your result depend on the mass of the satellite?

Consider motion in one dimension. (the sign of the vector quantities is their direction indicator.) an object moves in the positive x-direction with speed 2.9 m/s for 4.5 s. it stops for 3.8 s and then moves in the negative x direction with speed 2.8 m/s for 4 s. what is the total distance traveled by the object in units of meter? enter a number with two digits behind the decimal point.
