In warm regions where tropical plants grow but the temperature may drop below freezing a few times in the winter, the destruction of sensitive plants due to freezing can be reduced by watering them in the evening. Explain
The temperature of the ocean off the coast of New Jersey ranges from about 3 °C in late winter to about 24 °C in late summer. If we assume that the ocean temperature is representative of a layer that is 25 m deep and the only exchange of energy is at the ocean surface, what is the average energy flux at ocean surface that would be required to account for this temperature change?
The urban heat island effect is often strongest at night when temperatures would typically drop. What does this indicate about energy transfer and the material used in the building?
(a) The material in buildings releases more energy at night than it absorbs during the day
(b) The material in buildings absorbs a lot of energy during the day and when it gets colder at night the energy is released back into the cooler air.
(c) The material in buildings absorbs energy during the day and releases it because the temperature of the buildings is lower than the cooler air
(d) The material in buildings releases a lot of energy into the hot air during the day so at night all of the energy is still there

- In the chapter on fluid mechanics, Bernoulli's equation for the flow of incompressible fluids was explained in terms of changes affecting a small volume dV of fluid. Such volumes are a fundamental idea in the study of the flow of compressible fluids such as gases as well. For the equations of hydrodynamics to apply, the mean free path must be much less than the linear size of such a volume, adV1/3 . For air in the stratosphere at a temperature of 220 K and a pressure of 5.8 kPa, how big should a be for it to be 100 times the mean free path? Take the effective radius of air molecules to be 1.881011 m, which is roughly correct for N2.arrow_forwardAt 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. (a) Explain why the projected area over which it absorbs sunlight is r2 and the surface area over which it radiates is 4r2. (b) Compute its steady-state temperature. Is it chilly?arrow_forwardUnreasonable Results A meteorite 1.20 cm in diameter is so hot immediately after penetrating the atmosphere that it radiates 20.0 kW of power. (a) What is its temperature, if the surroundings are at 20.0C and it has an emissivity of 0.800? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which premise or assumption is responsible?arrow_forward

The dry adiabatic lapse rate, I'd≈1 K/100 m, and the moist (or saturated) adiabatic lapse rate, I'm depends on moisture content, but is approximated by I'm ≈ 0.5 K/100 m in the lower troposphere.

Why?arrow_forwardThe prevailing winds on the Hawaiian island of Kauai blow from the northeast. The winds cool as they go up the slope of Mt. Waialeale (elevation 1523 m), causing water vapor to condense and rain to fall. There is much more precipitation at the summit than at the base of the mountain. In fact, Mt. Waialeale is the rainiest spot on earth, averaging 11.7 m of rainfall a year. But what makes the winds cool?arrow_forward
