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 coin mass 0.005 kg is dropped from a height of 3 m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground ?
lesya692 [45]
Mechanical energy equals the sum of potential and kinetic energy. During the process, all PE converts into KE, assuming air resistance is neglected. So, the mechanical energy does not change and is equal to the initial potential energy.

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain why the needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north.
Alex17521 [72]
The needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north because of the magnetic poles of earth. the compass is essentially a magnet itself, so the southern pole of the compass is attracted to the northern pole of earth.

A marble column of cross-sectional area 1.6 m^2 supports a mass of 26600 kg. The elastic modulus for marble is 5.0 times 10^10 N
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Δ L = 2.57 x 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

given,

cross sectional area = 1.6 m²

Mass of column = 26600 Kg

Elastic modulus, E = 5 x 10¹⁰ N/m²

height = 7.9 m

Weight of the column = 26600 x 9.8

                                    = 260680 N

we know,

Young's modulus=\dfrac{stress}{strain}

stress = \dfrac{P}{A}

           = \dfrac{260680}{1.6}

           = 162925

strain = \dfrac{\Delta L}{L}

now,

Y = \dfrac{stress}{strain}

\Delta L = \dfrac{162925}{Y}\times L

\Delta L = \dfrac{162925}{5 \times 10^10}\times 7.9

   Δ L = 2.57 x 10⁻⁵ m

The column is shortened by Δ L = 2.57 x 10⁻⁵ m
