How does the atmosphere affect life on earth? Include both positive and negative effects.

1 answer:

5 0

The Earth's atmosphere blocks the sun's rays as they travel toward us. The atmosphere's layers act as a filter, allowing just the radiation needed to support life to pass through while blocking the dangerous radiation from reaching the Earth's surface. Our globe is warmed by the sun's energy as it travels through the atmosphere, supplying light energy for photosynthesis and powering the biogeochemical cycles in the Earth's systems. The object that cannot pass through, on the other hand, is reflected back into space.

The global temperature does, however, increase as more heat is trapped by the atmosphere. Global warming is the name of this occurrence.

Global warming is the phenomenon that results in a change in our climate. Natural calamities like wildfires, flooding, and severe storms occur more frequently when this happens.

Which measurement is equivalent to 350 milliliters?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

350 milliliters equals to .35 liters
Therefore, 3.5 times 10^-1 would be the only correct answer since that is the only one that matches .35 liters

If the absolute temperature of a gas is 600 K, the temperature in degrees Celsius is: A. 705Â°C. B. 873Â°C. C. 273Â°C. D. 327Â°C

zlopas [31]

Answer:

D). $327 ^0 C$

Explanation:

As we know that temperature scale is linear so we will have

$\frac{^0C - 0}{100 - 0} = \frac{K - 273}{373 - 273}$

now we have

$\frac{^0 C - 0}{100} = \frac{K - 273}{100}$

so the relation between two scales is given as

$^0 C = K - 273$

now we know that in kelvin scale the absolute temperature is 600 K

so now we have

$T = 600 - 273 = 327 ^0 C$

so correct answer is

D). $327 ^0 C$

A 10 g bullet moving horizontally with a speed of 2000 m/s strikes and passes through a 4.0 kg block moving with a speed of 4.2

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The answer is "512 J".

Explanation:

bullet mass $m_1 = 10 g= 10^{-2} \ kg\\\\$

initial speed $u_1 = 2\ \frac{Km}{s}= 2000\ \frac{m}{s}\\\\$

block mass $m_2 = 4\ Kg$

initial speed $v_2 =-4.2 \frac{m}{s}$

final speed $v_2= 0$

Let $v_1$ will be the bullet speed after collision:

throughout the consevation the linear moemuntum

$\to M_1V_1+m_2v_2=M_1U_1+m_2u_2\\\\\to (10^{-2} kg) V_1 +0 = (10^{-2} kg)(2000 \frac{m}{s}) + (4 \ kg)(-4.2 \frac{m}{s}) \\\\\ \to 10^{-2} v_1 = 20 -16.8\\\\$

$= 320 \frac{m}{s}$

The kinetic energy of the bullet in its emerges from the block

$k=\frac{1}{2} m_1 v_1^2$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times 10^{-2} \times 320\\\\=512 \ J$

The diagram shows waves of sound travelling through the air. By which factor is the sound intensity decreased at 3 meters?

SIZIF [17.4K]

The diagram is missing; however, we know that the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:
$I(r)= \frac{1}{r^2}$
where I is the intensity and r is the distance from the source.

We can assume for instance that the initial distance from the source is r=1 m, so that we put
$I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(1)^2}=1$
The intensity at r=3 m will be
$I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(3)^2}= \frac{1}{9}$
Therefore, the sound intensity has decreased by a factor $1/9$ .

Suppose an electron and a proton move at the same speed. which particle has a longer de broglie wavelength? suppose an electron

BARSIC [14]

When both particles, the electron and the proton move at the same speed, they may have differences with their de Broglie wavelength, the particle that would have a longer wavelength would be the proton since the wavelength is in direct proportionality with the mass of the particle.
