What is the process called in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat?

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>

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

3.2075*10^16

Explanation:

Q=P/V just search up a converter and youll get 30V and so you do 15/30 which is a half and a single coulomb is 6.415*10^16 so you half it. I belive this is correct if you dont belive me wait for someone else smarter to answer and compare.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Temperature after ignition=7883.205 K

Explanation:

The number of moles is,

n=PV/RT

=(1.18x10^6)(47.9x10^-6)/8.314(325)

= 0.0209 moles

a) In this process volume is constant

Q=U

=nCv.dT

dT= Q/nCv

=1970/(1.5x8.314)(0.0209)

= 7558.205 K

The final temperature is,

= 7558.205+325

= 7883.205 K

Which applications, either for diagnostic purposes or for therapeutic purposes, involve radioactive materials placed in the body
CaHeK987 [17]

When a radioactive material is required to be placed in the body, the applications are brachytherapy and radioisotope imaging.

Radioactive materials are elements which has the ability to disintegrate by emitting radioactive substance or radiation. A good example of this is Cobalt-60, Titanium-99 etc.

Brachytherapy is a therapeutic process in which radioactive material is inserted into the body in close proximity to the region affected. The radioactive material emits radiations which are required to control the unwanted biological material in the body. A good application of this is the treatment of cancer using Cobalt-60.

Radioisotope imaging is a diagnostic process which is an imaging technique that may require placing a radioactive material in the body so as to trace or locate the affected part of the body. In this case, the material is used as a tracing element.

The applications that require the placing of radioactive materials in the body are brachytherapy and radioisotope imaging.

A sinusoidal wave traveling on a string has a period of 0.20 s, a wavelength of 32 cm, and an amplitude of 3 cm. The speed of th
Finger [1]

Answer:

v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}

Explanation:

If we have a periodic wave we need to satisfy the following basic relationship:

v = \lambda f

From the last formula we see that the velocity is proportional fo the frequency.

For this case we have the following info given by the problem:

T= 0.2 s, \lambda =32 cm* \frac{1m}{100cm} =0.32 m, A= 3cm*\frac{1m}{100 cm}=0.03 m

We know that the frequency is the reciprocal of the period so we have this formula:

f = \frac{1}{T}

And if we replace we got:

f =\frac{1}{0.2 s}= 5Hz

Now since we have the value for the wavelength we can find the velocity like this:

v = 0.32 m * 5Hz = 1.6 \frac{m}{s}

And if we convert this into cm/s we got:

v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}
