The sun radiates energy. does the earth similarly radiate energy? if so, why can’t we see the radiant energy from the earth?
1. yes, the earth radiates energy, but only in the sense that the energy is reflected sunlight, which we can’t see from the earth’s surface.
2. no, the earth does not similarly radiate energy.
3. yes, the earth radiates energy, but since the peak frequency f is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the radiator, the wavelength of the radiation is far too long for us to see.
4. yes, the earth radiates energy, but since the peak frequency f is directly proportional to the temperature of the radiator in degrees kelvin, the frequency of the radiation from the earth is in the ultraviolet range (so that.

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. she watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands, two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after being kicked but before landing. take "north" and "up" as the positive ‑ and ‑directions, respectively, and use ≈10 m/s2 for the downward acceleration due to gravity.
