Answer:

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that allows heat to escape the atmosphere (option a).

Explanation:

The phenomenon by which certain gases, which are components of the atmosphere, retain part of the energy that the soil emits because it has been heated by solar radiation is called the greenhouse effect. It affects all planetary bodies endowed with atmosphere.

That is, the greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that occurs on Earth thanks to which the planet's temperature is compatible with life.

The sunlight that is absorbed by the earth's surface and returns to the atmosphere in the form of heat. There, greenhouse gases retain some of this heat and do not let it go outside; The rest escapes into space. It is this energy, which cannot escape the planet, that causes the surface temperature to rise.

When this process works naturally, the average temperature on the planet's surface is 15º C, and thanks to it, life becomes possible.

But by increasing the concentration of gases by work of man, the atmosphere retains more heat than necessary, causing the rise in temperatures, the melting of the poles, desertification, fires, storms and floods.

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that allows heat to escape the atmosphere (option a).

Question:

The operations manager for a well-drilling company must recommend whether to build a new facility, expand his existing one, or do nothing. He estimates that long-run profits (in $000) will vary with the amount of precipitation (rainfall) as follows:

Alternative Precipitation

Low Normal High

Do nothing -100 100 300

Expand 350 500 200

Build new 750 300 0

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is EVPI (Expected value of Perfect Information)?

A. $140,000

B. $170,000

C. $285,000

D. $305,000

E. $475,000

Answer:

D. $170,000

Explanation:

The expected long run profits are for

Low Normal High

Do nothing -100*0.3 100*0.2 300*0.5 = 140

Expand 350*0.3 500*0.2 200*0.5 = 305

Build new 750*0.3 300*0.2 0*0.5 = 285

Therefore the expected long run profits are

$140,000

$305,000

$285,000

Based on his selected option being either to build new or to expand, the most profitable option is to expand

=$305,000

EVPI = EPPI-EMV =$170,000

An ice cube in a glass of water is pushed to the bottom of the glass and held there with a straw. Consequently, the buoyant forc

blagie [28]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Given

Initially, the ice cube is floating over the water

When the cube is pressed to touch the bottom, it is submerged fully

Therefore more buoyant force is acting on it

At first, a part of the volume is submerged in the water, so the buoyant force is less, but as the entire cube is immersed in the water, the buoyant force increases.

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arr

Nitella [24]

Answer:

1. Part A: 648N
2. Part B: 324J
3. Part C: 1,296N

Explanation:

1. Part A:

The magnitude of the force is calculated using the Hook's law:

$|F|=k\Delta x$

You know $\Delta x=0.250m$ but you do not have $k$ .

You can calculate it using the equation for the work-energy for a spring.

The work done to compress the springs a distance $\Delta x$ is:

$Work=\Delta PE=(1/2)k(\Delta x)^2$

Where $\Delta PE$ is the change in the elastic potential energy of the "spring".

Here you have two springs, but you can work as if they were one spring.

You know the work (81.0J) and the length the "spring" was compressed (0.250m). Thus, just substitute and solve for k:

$81.0J=(1/2)k(0.250m)^2\\\\k=2,592N/m$

In reallity, the constant of each spring is half of that, but it is not relevant for the calculations and you are safe by assuming that it is just one spring with that constant.

Now calculate the magnitude of the force:

$|F|=k\Delta x=2,592N/m\times 0.250m=648N$

2. Part B. How much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.250 m farther?

The additional work will be the extra elastic potential energy that the springs earn.

You already know the elastic potential energy when Δx = 0.250m; now you must calculate the elastic potential energy when Δx = 0.250m + 0.250m = 0.500m.

$\Delta E=(1/2)2,592n/m\times(0.500m)^2=324J$

Therefore, you must do 324J of additional work to move the plattarform a distance 0.250 m farther.

3. Part C

What maximum force must you apply to move the platform to the position in Part B?

The maximum force is when the springs are compressed the maximum and that is 0.500m

Therefore, use Hook's law again, but now the compression length is Δx = 0.500m

$|F|=k\Delta x=2,592N/m\times 0.500m =1,296N$

Help for physics

12345 [234]

Answer:

A. 5 m/s

Explanation:

From the graph, for the first 2 seconds, the graph is a straight line meaning that the slope is a constant.

Average speed of an object is the rate of change of position. Here, the position of the object changes from 0 m to 10 m for a time interval of 2 seconds.

The change in position ( $\Delta x$ ) and time interval ( $\Delta t$ ) are given as:

$\Delta x=10-0=10\ m\\\Delta t=2-0=2\ s$

Therefore, the average speed ( $s_{avg}$ ) is given as the ratio of the total change in position and the time interval for the change.

$s_{avg}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{10-0}{2-0}=\frac{10}{2}=5\ m/s$

Hence, the average speed is 5 m/s.

The subduction zone is the zone in the crust of the Earth where tectonic plates meet.
Magma is a hot fluid formed in the crust. This fluid is the one from which lava is formed.

Most magma that is formed in this region never reaches the surface. However, if it does, belts of volcanoes will be formed.
