Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Solar Constant

The solar constant is a measure of the amount of solar energy received per unit area at the top of Earth's atmosphere when the Earth is at its average distance from the Sun. It is typically expressed in units of power per unit area, specifically watts per square meter (W/m²).

Step 2: Identifying the Correct Unit

Given the options, we need to identify which one correctly represents the solar constant. The solar constant is not measured in meters per second (m/s), so we can eliminate the options with these units.

Step 3: Selecting the Correct Value

The typical value for the solar constant is approximately 1366 W/m². This matches one of the given options.

Final Answer

The solar constant is \(\boxed{1366 \, \text{W/m}^2}\).

If a projectile is launched vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 50 ft per sec, then neglecting air resistance, its height s (in feet) above the ground t seconds after projection is given by s=-16 t^2+50 t. Which equation should be used to determine the time at which the height of the projectile reaches 20 ft ? Choose the correct answer below. A. 20=-16 t^2 B. s=-16(20)^2+50 C. 20=-16 t^2+50 t D. s=-16(20)^2+50(20)
