Hannah is writing a report on how albedo affects the global climate. she’s proofreading her passage for any factual errors. which sentence must hannah correct before submitting her report? earth receives energy from the sun. this energy drives many of the processes on earth, including its climate. some part of this energy is reflected by earth’s surface. we use the term albedo to describe the reflected energy. albedo of an object is the ratio of the reflected radiation to the total radiation reaching the object. a value of 0 means no energy is absorbed by the object, whereas a value of 1 means that all of the energy is absorbed. in this way, the albedo of an object can influence earth’s atmospheric temperature.

The sentence Hannah needs to correct is " A value of 0 means no energy is absorbed by the object, whereas a value of 1 means that all of the energy is absorbed."

Explanation: Instead, an object with an albedo value of 0 absorbs energy in it's entirety and an object with a value of 1 absorbs no energy.

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
