The diagram that shows how sunlight is radiated back into the Earth’s atmosphere as heat(infrared radiation) is of the Greenhouse effect.

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that occurs on Earth and heats up our atmosphere.

The name of this effect is derived from a greenhouse, which is used to grow crops in a special environment.

A greenhouse is basically a house that is made up of glass. The glass allows heat to enter the house but it does not allow the heat to escape to the outside thus keeping the greenhouse warm.

Some gases that are responsible for this effect are known as greenhouse gases. These gases are carbon dioxide, methane, chloro- fluoro carbons, etc.

These gases trap the heat of the sun and raise the temperature of Earth thus causing global warming.

Thus, the diagram that shows how sunlight is radiated back into the Earth’s atmosphere as heat(infrared radiation) is of the Greenhouse effect.

In a rigid container, as the temperature of a gas decreases, the pressure of the gas will decrease. t f

Sergio039 [100]

The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

A charge of 1.5 µC is placed on the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The change in voltage across the plates is 36 V. How m

belka [17]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor is $U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, $q=1.5\ \mu C=1.5\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Potential difference, V = 36 V

We need to find the potential energy is stored in the capacitor. The stored potential energy is given by :

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}q\times V$

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.5\times 10^{-6}\times 36$

U = 0.000027 J

$U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$

So, the potential energy is stored in the capacitor is $U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
