Answer:

True

Explanation:

- A conservative force is a force whose work done does not depend on the path taken, but only on the final and starting point.

- The mechanical energy of an object is defined as the sum of the kinetic energy (K) and the potential energy (U): E = K + U

- The law of conservation of energy states that, in case only conservative forces are acting on the object, the mechanical energy of the object E is conserved

- In case non-conservative forces are acting on the object, the mechanical energy is no longer constant. An example of non-conservative force is the force of friction: when the force of friction is acting on a car in motion, the car is slowed down by the effect of the force, losing some of its kinetic energy, K. If the car is travelling on a flat road, then its potential energy U does not change: this means that the mechanical energy of the car, E, is decreasing, so it is no longer conserved.

Which interactions are part of the greenhouse effect? Select three options.
Allisa [31]

<u>Out of the given options, the following interactions are part of the greenhouse effect, </u>

  • Gases in the atmosphere absorb heat
  • Earth’s surface radiates energy back into the atmosphere
  • Gases in the atmosphere radiate heat back to the surface

Answers: Options A, D and E

<u>Explanation: </u>

The greenhouse effect, basically a warming effect caused by the greenhouse gases such as Carbon-Di-oxide, Methane, nitrous oxides, water vapour etc. These gases usually trap the heat that Earth Absorbs by the Sun.  

In the day time, the Earth absorbs the energy in the form of heat which is radiated by the Sun. In the evening, the process gets reversed and the Earth starts releasing that heat into the atmosphere.

Now, this heat gets absorbed by this gases before it leaves the Earth's atmosphere and gets trapped there only, resulting in the temperature raise of the Earth's environment.

So, the prime causes of the greenhouse effect remains as the heat radiation from the Sun, the absorption of that heat by the Earth surface and the further absorption of that heat produced by the greenhouse gases that present in the atmosphere.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

A fire hose must be able to shoot water to the top of a building 35.0 m tall ... Water enters this hose at a steady rate of 0.500 m3/s and shoots out of a round nozzle. ... I know that Flow rate=0.500 m3/s=A*V. I know the pressure needed to ... The first equation has no potential while the second has no kinetic.

qwelly [4]

Answer:                           This book is about a mom that is always saying no to her kids and is always pushing them to focus on what they are doing, but one day the mom or dad runs into a man that does what he calls "A Yes Day" with his kids and what this is, is for 24 hours you say yes to whatever you want to do and you aren't able to say no. So the mom tries yes day with her kids and they go through many crazy/extreme events. This has to deal with hygiene because the kids trash the house and get very dirty in a few parts of the movie. They always try to be as clean as possible, but the limits have been broken... This is why I think this movie has to deal with hygiene.
