Chapter 18, Problem 90P
Soon after Earth was formed, heat released by the decay of radioactive elements raised the average internal temperature from 300 to 3000 K, at about which value it remains today. Assuming an average coefficient of volume expansion of 3.0 × 10−5 K−1, by how much has the radius of Earth increased since the planet was formed?

The average temperature of the atmosphere has increased by 0.4°C over the last thirty years. Estimate how much energy has gone into warming up the planet in this way. Keep in mind that the atmosphere has a mass of 5 × 1018kg, and the specific heat capacity of air is about 1 Jg−1K−1.

- Atmospheric 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_forwardQuestion 2: Planet Mars Planetary Attribute Albedo Radius Gravitational acceleration Mean distance from sun Surface pressure Symbol a R (km) g (m/s²) D (km) Po (kPa) Earth 0.29 6378 9.8 150 x 106 101 Mars 0.25 3395 3.7 228 x 106 0.6 (a) Calculate an appropriate value for shortwave solar radiation (SM) incident at the top of the Martian atmosphere (answer in W/m²).
