Which of the following is true concerning the balance between the solar energy absorbed and radiated by Earth? a. Earth’s atmosphere absorbs a larger fraction of total solar energy than it radiates. b. More than 90% of the solar energy that strikes Earth is absorbed. c. Earth’s surface is responsible for absorbing a larger fraction of energy than it radiates. d. None of the above. Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D Mark this and return

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j

1.43 x 10^-11 j the guy commented the awnser just making sure u see it .
