At our distance from the Sun, the intensity of solar radiation is 1370 W/m^2. As discussed in class and in the textbook, the temperature of the Earth is affected by the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere. This phenomenon describes the effect of absorption of infrared radiation by the surface so as to make the surface temperature of the Earth higher than if it were airless. The average global surface temperature of the Earth is ~288 K. Calculate the surface temperature of the Earth if it did not have an atmosphere. You may assume an emissivity of 1. The radius of the Earth is 6370 km and its distance from the Sun is 1.496 × 10^11 m.

A billiard ball is shot east at 2.80 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 1.20 m/s. The balls has a glancing collision, not a head-on-collision, deflecting the second ball by 90° and sending it north at 1.55 m/s. What is the angle that the velocity of the first ball makes after the collision, with respect to the east direction?

A box of mass ?=20.5 kg is pulled up a ramp that is inclined at an angle ?=19.0∘ angle with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is ?k=0.305 , and the rope pulling the box is parallel to the ramp. If the box accelerates up the ramp at a rate of ?=2.89 m/s2 , calculate the tension ?T in the rope. Use ?=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
