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.

A sample of polonium-210 was left for 414 days.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

PO(1) = PO(0) / 2 1 refers to 1 half life of PO(0)

PO(2) = PO(1) / 2 = P(0) / 4 amount of PO left after 2 half-lives

PO(3) = PO(2) / 2 = PO(0) / 8 amount of PO left after 3 half-lives

414 da / 138 da = 3 3 half-lives pass in 414 da

PO(0) = 8 PO(3) = 8 * 1.45E-4 g = 1.16E-3 g = .00116 g after 414 days

Two objects exert a gravitational force on 8N on one another what would that force be if the mass of both objects were doubled?

jolli1 [7]

Gravitational force of attraction between two objects can be calculated from the following formula:
$F = \frac{m_1 \cdot m_2}{r^{2}}$
Where m with subscript stands for mass of the object and r is the distance between them.
When we double the mass of those two objects, distance between them stays the same, while in the numerator we have:
$2\cdot m_1 \cdot 2 \cdot m_2 = 4\cdot m_1 \cdot m_2$
When numerator in the second case 4 times greater than the 'original' numerator and denominator stays the same, force becomes 4 times greater.
