The process in which water vapour and carbon dioxide traps heat is called the “greenhouse effect”.

 

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which occurs every day. To illustrate an example of this natural phenomenon, d<span>uring the day the Sun shines through the atmosphere. Earth's surface warms up because of the sunlight. Meanwhile at night in the absence of the sunlight, Earth's surface cools back and releasing the heat back into the air. However some of the heat is retained by the greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapour) in the atmosphere. This process what keeps our planet Earth warm and cozy at an average temperature of 16°C.</span>

user100 [1]

Answer:

-5.396Joules

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force causes a body to move through a distance and acts in the direction of the force.

Work done = Force × Distance

Given force = mg

Force = 2.20×9.81

Force applied on the string = 21.58N

Distance will be the difference in height = 4.75-5.00

= 0.25m

Negative work done on the pendulum during the first entirely oscillation = 21.58×0.25

= -5.396Joules

A roller coaster car crosses the top of a circular loop-the-loop at twice the critical speed. Part A What is the ratio of the no
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

n/(FG) = 3.

Explanation:

<u>At the top of the loop-the-loop, the normal force is directed downwards</u> as well as the weight of the car. So, the total net force of the car is

F_{net} = N + mg

<u>By Newton's Second Law, this force is equal to the centripetal force</u>, because the car is making circular motion in the loop.

F_{net} = ma = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\N + mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

The critical speed is the minimum speed at which the car does not fall. So, at the critical speed the normal force is zero.

0 + mg = \frac{mv_c^2}{R}\\v_c = \sqrt{gR}

If the car is moving twice the critical speed, then

N + mg = \frac{m(2v_c)^2}{R} = \frac{m4gR}{R} = 4mg\\N = 3mg

Finally, the ratio of the normal force to the gravitational force is

\frac{3mg}{mg} = 3
