Which of the following, if eliminated, would completely prevent the greenhouse effect from occurring on earth?

1 answer:

7 0

The green house gases can be reduced up to a limit by eliminating the fossil fuels and chlorofluorocarbons. Fossil fuels are the major source of greenhouse gases.

<h3>What are green house gases?</h3>

Greenhouse gases are those which are capable of intense absorption of the temperature radiated from the earth's surface and make the earth atmosphere warm up.

Greenhouse gases are the main cause of global warming. Carbon dioxide, methane oxides of nitrogen and sulphur are the green house gases.

Fossil fuels are rich in hydrocarbons and they release these gases when burned. Mainly methane and other hydrocarbon gases intensely absorbs the temperature which is radiating away from the earth and thus the heat is trapped inside.

Therefore, by eliminating fossil fuels, greenhouse effect can be prevented.

sonic is sliding down a frictionless 15m tall hill. He starts at the top with a velocity of 10m/s. At the bottom of the hill he

podryga [215]

Answer:

The maximum speed of sonic at the bottom of the hill is equal to 19.85m/s and the spring constant of the spring is equal to (497.4xmass of sonic) N/m

Energy approach has been used to sole the problem.

The points of interest for the analysis of the problem are point 1 the top of the hill and point 2 the bottom of the hill just before hitting the spring

The maximum velocity of sonic is independent of the his mass or the geometry. It is only depends on the vertical distance involved

Explanation:

The step by step solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below. The principle of energy conservation has been applied to solve the problem. This means that if energy disappears in one form it will appear in another.

As in this problem, the potential and kinetic energy at the top of the hill were converted to only kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. This kinetic energy too got converted into elastic potential energy .

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

   =    (49 m/s) / (5 seconds)

   = (49 / 5) m/s / s

   =    9.8 m/s²

A satellite is in a circular orbit around an unknown planet. The satellite has a speed of 1.75 104 m/s, and the radius of the or

Arisa [49]

Answer:

v = 1.32 10² m

Explanation:

In this case we are going to use the universal gravitation equation and Newton's second law

F = G m M / r²

F = m a

In this case the acceleration is centripetal

a = v² / r

The force is given by the gravitational force

G m M / r² = m v² / r

G M/r = v²

Let's calculate the mass of the planet

M = v² r / G

M = (1.75 10⁴)² 5.00 10⁶ / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

M = 2.30 10²¹ kg

With this die we clear the equation to find the orbit of the second satellite

v = √ G M / r

v = √ (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 2.30 10²¹ / 8.75 10⁶)

v = 1.32 10² m
