What else can I help you with?
Do earths surfaces absorb thermal energy at the same rate?
No, because the land heats up faster and cools up faster than water.
The unit for measuring the rate at which light energy is rediated from a source is what?
The unit for measuring the rate at which light energy is radiated from a source is the lumen. The lumen is symbolized as lm.
What is true about the rate of evaporation in a dynamic equilibrium between the liquid state and the gas state?
It Occurs as water moleclues absorb energy and it also occurs at the surface of liqud.
What is the relationship between the flow rate of a river and the kinetic energy of water within it?
The flow rate of a river is directly related to the kinetic energy of the water within it. A higher flow rate means the water is moving faster, which increases its kinetic energy. Conversely, a lower flow rate results in slower-moving water with lower kinetic energy.
What does water do in radiation shielding and does it work as an absorber of neutrons?
H2O provides an energy transfer for radiant energy. The volume of H2O per radiant energy is proportional. The visual energy transfer may be measured by H2O's "change of state" rate. Regarding H20 as an absorber of electrons, oxygen has a larger share of electrons. This is how one Oxygen atom and two Hydrogen atoms bond to create H2O. See "polar covalent bond" and "electronegativity" for greater depth. If a flux of electrons bombard H2O, the molecular compound will change in composition -OR- reform in an entirely different molecular compound.
Is water absorbed at the same rate in different kinds of soil?
No, different soils absorb rain water at different rates.
Why ice cubes melt faster in the sun?
Ice cubes melt faster in the sun because sunlight is a form of radiant energy that warms the ice cubes, causing them to absorb heat and melt more quickly. The higher temperature from the sun speeds up the rate of melting compared to ice cubes kept in the shade.
Is rayon absorb or repel?
Rayon is absorbent, as it has a high moisture absorption rate. It can absorb a significant amount of water without feeling wet or losing its shape.
How is the percolation rate related to the soil quantity?
Percolation rate is the gradual movement and filtering of water through the spaces or pores in the soil usually expressed as inches per hour or inches per day. A soil with a greater percolation rate can usually absorb more water.
What type of rate of reaction is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that is both endothermic (requires energy input from sunlight) and involves multiple reaction steps. It is a complex process where light energy is converted into chemical energy by plants, algae, and some bacteria.
Does earth's surface absorb thermal energy at the same rate?
No! Different surfaces absorb and reflect differing amounts of radiation from the sun. The degree of reflectance is known as "albedo". Some materials reflect much more energy than others. For example snow fields reflect a very large proportion of solar radiation (they have a high albedo) whereas materials like tarmac (which is black and so reflects very little radiation, and conversely absorbs the majority of it) has a low albedo. This is why tarmac (and other dark surfaces) can become very hot on a sunny day.
Do different soils absorb water at the same rate?
No. Here's a table showing different soil types and their absorption rate. http://www.greenviewblog.com/2005/04/soil_type_and_w.html
