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.

Why would knowing the characteristics of circuits be important in designing electrical circuits?

blondinia [14]

The characteristic of a circuit actually indicate how the circuit functions. When one designs a circuit they have a specific function in mind and must know how to combine components in order to fulfill this functions.

A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 3.75 m/s. If the roof is pitched at

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

a) t = 0.528 s

b) D = 1.62 m

Explanation:

given,

speed of the baseball = 3.75 m/s

angle made with the horizontal = 35°

height of the roof edge = 2.5 m

using equation of motion

$s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$2.5 = vsin\theta \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$2.5 = 3.75\ sin35^0 \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 t^2$

4.9 t² + 2.15 t - 2.5 = 0

on solving the above equation

t = 0.528 s

b) D = v cos θ × t

D = 3.75 × cos 35° ×0.528

D = 1.62 m

A city bus travels 6 blocks east and 8 blocks north. Each block is 100 m long. If the bus travels this distance in 15 minutes, w

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The average speed of the bus, v = 1.55 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of blocks traveled by bus towards east = 6

Number of blocks traveled by bus towards north = 8

Length of each block = 100 m

Distance traveled by bus towards east 6 x 100 = 600 m

Distance traveled by bus towards north 8 x 100 = 800 m

The total distance traveled, d = 600 + 800 = 1400

Time taken by the bus to travel is, t = 15 minutes

The velocity is given by the formula

v = d/t m

Substituting the values in the above equation

v = 1400 m /(15 x 60) s

= 1.55 m/s

Hence, the average speed of the bus, v = 1.55 m/s
