How does the suns energy contribute to the carbon cycle

Physics

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Light energy from the sun  stimulates photosynthesis by green plants. One major component of the carbon cycle is the reduction of the carbon (IV) oxide content in the atmosphere by plants. Plants take in Carbon (IV) oxide to use during the process of making their own food. During this process light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and is used to convert carbon (IV) oxide and water to glucose.

This glucose is used during respiration by living organisms that give out carbon (IV) oxide. The cycle continues.

How does the see temperature affect hurricane formation?
insens350 [35]
The higher the sea surface temperature, the faster the warm, moist air rises into the atmosphere. This updraft creates a donut shaped vortex that is rising in the middle and going downward on the sides. The more moisture in the air (humidity), the stronger the vortex will become as the moisture rises through convective currents, cools, and falls through convective currents. This eventually causes rotation of the storm mass and you get a tropical cyclone. So, the high sea surface temperatures and humidity are actually the engine that forms a hurricane and causes it to increase in strength.

High level horizontal winds can prevent a hurricane from forming. These are called shear winds and they literally blow the top of the cyclone off, preventing it from forming properly.

A constant friction force of 21 N acts on a 63-kg skier for 25 s on level snow. What is the skier’s change in velocity?
erica [24]
The skier’s change in velocity is 8.33.../8.4 m/s.
21/63= 0.33...
0.33...x 25 s = 8.33.../8.4 m/s

azamat

Answer:

1.171

Explanation:

if n₁sinΘ₁=n₂sinΘ₂, then n₂=n₁sinΘ₁ / sinΘ₂;

n_2=\frac{1.5*sin45}{sin65}=\frac{1.5*0.707}{0.906} =1.1705
