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).

Cart 1 has an initial velocity and hits cart 2 which is stationary. after a perfectly inelastic collision, the combined carts ar

Tomtit [17]

Option(a) the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1 is the right answer.

The mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1 is correct about the mass of cart 2.

Let's demonstrate the issue using variables:

Let,

m1=mass of cart 1

m2=mass of cart 2

v1 = velocity of cart 1 before collision

v2 = velocity of cart 2 before collision

v' = velocity of the carts after collision

Using the conservation of momentum for perfectly inelastic collisions:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v'

v2 = 0 because it is stationary

v' = 1/3*v1

m1v1 = (m1+m2)(1/3)(v1)

m1 = 1/3*m1 + 1/3*m2

1/3*m2 = m1 - 1/3*m1

1/3*m2 = 2/3*m1

m2 = 2m1

From this we can conclude that the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1.

1)Kenetic Energy is defined as energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. 2)KE) is KE = 0.5 x mv2. Here m stands for mass, the measure of how much matter is in an object, and v stands for the velocity of the object, or the rate at which the object changes its position..

And I hope this helped :)

Three metal fishing weights, each with a mass of 1.00x102 g and at a temperature of 100.0°C, are placed in 1.00x102 g of water a

Answer:

Approximately $0.253\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}}$ assuming no heat exchange between the mixture and the surroundings.

Explanation:

Consider an object of specific heat capacity $c$ and mass $m$ . Increasing the temperature of this object by $\Delta T$ would require $Q = c\, m \, \Delta T$ .

Look up the specific heat of water: $c(\text{water}) = 4.182\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}}$ .

It is given that the mass of the water in this mixture is $m(\text{water}) = 1.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g}$ .

Temperature change of the water: $\Delta T(\text{water}) = (45 - 35)\; {\rm K} = 10\; {\rm K}$ .

Thus, the water in this mixture would have absorbed :

$\begin{aligned}Q &= c\, m\, \Delta T \\ &= 4.182\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}} \\ &\quad \times 1.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g} \times 10\; {\rm K} \\ &= 4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}$ .

Thus, the energy that water absorbed was: $Q(\text{water}) = 4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}$ .

Assuming that there was no heat exchange between the mixture and its surroundings. The energy that the water in this mixture absorbed, $Q(\text{water})$ , would be the opposite of the energy that the metal in this mixture released.

Thus: $Q(\text{metal}) = -Q(\text{water}) = -4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}$ (negative because the metal in this mixture released energy rather than absorbing energy.)

Mass of the metal in this mixture: $m(\text{metal}) = 3 \times 1.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g} = 3.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g}$ .

Temperature change of the metal in this mixture: $\Delta T(\text{metal}) = (100 - 45)\; {\rm K} = 55\; {\rm K}$ .

Rearrange the equation $Q = c\, m \, \Delta T$ to obtain an expression for the specific heat capacity: $c = Q / (m\, \Delta T)$ . The (average) specific heat capacity of the metal pieces in this mixture would be:

$\begin{aligned}c &= \frac{Q}{m\, \Delta T} \\ &= \frac{-4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}}{3.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g} \times (-55\; {\rm K})} \\ &\approx 0.253\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .
