Why is it important to have a balance of gases in the atmosphere?

1 answer:

6 0

The greenhouse gases absorb some of this energy and radiate much of it back towards the surface whilst the rest is radiated out to space. This plays an important role in keeping the Earth's surface warm and able to sustain life.

If an electron loses energy what may happen to it

MAVERICK [17]

<span>When an electron is hit by a photon of lights,it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state.Electrons therefore have to jump around within the atom as they either gain or lose energy.</span>

billiardballsnew2 A white billiard ball with mass mw = 1.49 kg is moving directly to the right with a speed of v = 3.09 m/s and

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Final velocity of white ball is 0m/s

Final velocity of black ball is 3.09m/s

Explanation:

An elastic collision is one that conserves internal kinetic energy

An internal kinetic energy is the sum of kinetic energies of objects in the system

Initial kinetic energy of white ball is Vi1 = 3.09m/s

Final kinetic energy of white ball is Vf1 = ?

Initial kinetic energy of black ball is Vi2 = 0m/s

Final kinetic energy of black ball is Vf2 = ?

m1 = 1.49kg mass of white ball

m2 = 1.49kg mass of black ball

The formula to calculate internal kinetic energy is

1/2m1Vf1^2 + 1/2m2Vf2^2 = 1/2m1Vi1^2

Solving the equation

1.Vf1 = (m1 - m2)Vi1/m1+m2

Vf1 = (1.49-1.49)*3.09/1.49+1/49

Vf1 = 0m/s

2. Vf2 = 2m1Vi1/m1+m2

Vf2 = 2*1.49*3.09/1.49+1.49

Vf2 = 3.09m/s

N:B following the general principle of collision when 2 bodies of same masses collide in elastic collision they exchange velocities.

If two forces act on an object, what is the relationship between the two forces? (pls explain)

Westkost [7]

Answer:

B. The larger force causes more acceleration than the smaller.

Explanation:

For example, let me use a child and a grown up. The child represents the smaller force while the grown up represents the larger force. If they are pushing the same object of different sides, obviously the side with the grown up will push and move to the side of the child because it is stronger.

A school bus moves at speed of 35mi/he for 20miles. How long will it take for the bus to get to school

lara [203]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.57 hours

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the school bus, v = 35 mi/hr

Distance covered by the bus, d = 20 miles

We need to find the time taken by the bus to get to school. Time taken by the bus is given by :

t = 0.57 hours

So, the time taken by the bus to reach school is 0.57 hours. Hence, this is the required solution.

A car can move from rest to 35 m/s in 5.0 seconds. It's acceleration is

lord [1]

Answer:

A) 7.0 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is found by using the formula:

a = Δv/Δt

This means the change in time divided by the time interval will give us the car's acceleration.

Since the car starts from rest, its initial velocity is 0 m/s. Its final velocity is 35 m/s. The time interval for the car to go from 0 to 35 m/s is 5.0 seconds.

a = (v - v₀)/t

Substitute the final and initial velocity into the formula.

a = (35 - 0)/5
a = 35/5
a = 7

The acceleration of the car is A) 7.0 m/s².
