Answer

The yearly rate of change of $T$ is $\dfrac{dT}{dt}$. $\dfrac{dT}{dt}=0.0972674763$ K/year

Work Step by Step

The yearly rate of change of $T$ is $\dfrac{dT}{dt}$. To find $\dfrac{dT}{dt}$. Firstly calculate derivate of $R = σT^{4}$ with respect to time $t$ using the chain rule. We get, $\dfrac{dR}{dt}=\dfrac{dR}{dT}\times \dfrac{dT}{dt}$ Now derivate $R = σT^{4}$ with respect to temperature $T$ using power rule. We get, $\dfrac{dR}{dT}=4\sigma T^{3}$ Substitute $\dfrac{dR}{dT}=4\sigma T^{3}$ in $\dfrac{dR}{dt}=\dfrac{dR}{dT}\times \dfrac{dT}{dt}$. We get $\dfrac{dR}{dt}=4\sigma T^{3}\times \dfrac{dT}{dt}$ Now solve for $\dfrac{dT}{dt}$. We get, $\dfrac{dT}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{4\sigma T^{3}}\times\dfrac{dR}{dt}$ Substitute $\dfrac{dR}{dt}=0.5 Js^{−1}m^{−2} per\hspace{4px} year.$, $T=283 K$ and $σ = 5.67 ×10^{−8} Js^{−1}m^{−2}K^{−4}$. $\dfrac{dT}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{4\times5.67\times10^{-8}\times 283^{3}}\times0.5=0.0972674763$ K/year
