What effect do increasing amounts of greenhouse gases have on earth and the organisms that live here?
pickupchik [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The increasing amounts of greenhouse gases causes climate change and global warming, sea level rises and oceans become warmer.

When prolonged into the future and no actions are being taken; drastic droughts will happen which threatens agricultural in an extreme manner, wildlife living in the forests will be pressurized, and animals/organisms living in the ocean will be affected too due to rising temperature causing the reduced Oxygen effects.

The examples include: the melting of Arctic ice endangering the polar bears, fishes and aquatic marines will die at part of the oceans which has higher temperature (lack of oxygen), poorer regions will have adverse impacts on the human being due to agriculture deterioration and lack of proper system and social readiness to adapt to climate change.

To fight climate change, we must reduce carbon pollution (burning of coals which releases large carbon dioxide/monoxide etc.) through setting up of policies by multinational companies, greener business to reduce emissions, and help people to adapt to climate change or at least educate people about climate change.

Why does the momentum of a billiard ball rolling on a billiard table change?
stiv31 [10]

If the billiard ball is going at the constant speed and contains its mass then the momentum WONT be changing. But realistically you have external forces like friction and air resistance changing the velocity thus changing the momentum. In this case momentum is not conserved because you're introduction an external force.

Compare the potential energy of a 5 lb ball at the top of a 5 foot hill and a 5 lb ball at the top of a 10 foot hill.
krek1111 [17]
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest while the kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body in motion.
Potential energy is given by mass× gravitational acceleration × height
         That is energy = mgh
For the first ball the potential energy is 2.268 ×10 ×5 = 113.4 J (5 lb = 2.268 kg)
          The second ball with the same mass will have 2.268 ×10 ×10 = 226.8 J
Thus, the potential energy is dependent on the height of a given body and therefore the ball at the 5 foot hill has less potential energy.

A 52.9-kg skateboarder starts out with a speed of 2.04 m/s. He does 116 J of work on himself by pushing with his feet against th
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

a. 1222.13 J b. 2.36 m. His new position is above his original position

Explanation:

From work-kinetic energy principle, workdone = change in kinetic energy

So work the skateboarder does on himself W₁ = -116 J

work done by friction W₂ = -264 J

gravitational potential energy change W₃ = mgΔy

The kinetic energy change ΔK = 1/2m(v² - u²) where m = mass of skater = 52.9 kg, u = initial speed of skaterboarder = 2.04 m/s and v = final speed of skaterboarder =  6 m/s. ΔK = 1/2m(v² - u²) = ΔK = 1/2 × 52.9(6² - 2.4²) = 842.13 J

So, W₁ + W₂ + W₃ = ΔK

W₃ = ΔK - W₁ - W₂ = 842.13 J - (-116 J) - (-264J) = 842.13 J + 116 J + 264J = 1222.13 J

b. Since W₃ = mgΔy = 1222.13 J

Δy = W₃/mg = 1222.13/(52.9 × 9.8) = 1222.13/518.42 = 2.36 m

Since Δy > 0, his new position is above his original position.
