What is a major contributor of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a. burning of fossil fuel

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun infrared rays in the outermost layer of the earths atmosphere due to the accumulation of some harmful gasses. This gases depletes the ozone layer

The major contributor of greenhouse gases is the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxides are released into the atmosphere and leads to global warming and climatic changes per time

A 20 kg wagon is rolling to the right across a floor. A person attempts to catch and stop the crate and applies a force of 70 N,

Serggg [28]

Answer:

1.736m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

$\sum F_x = ma_x\\$

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\$ where;

Fm is the moving force = 70.0N

Ff is the frictional force acting on the body

$Ff = \mu R\\Ff = \mu mg\\$

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration/deceleration

The equation becomes;

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\Fm - \mu mg = ma\\$

Substitute the given parameters

$Fm - \mu mg = ma\\70 - 0.18(20)(9.8) = 20a\\70-35.28 = 20a\\34.72 = 20a\\a = \frac{34.72}{20}\\a = 1.736m/s^2\\$

Hence the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught is 1.736m/s²

If the average pitcher is releasing the ball from a height of 1.8 m above the ground, and the pitcher's mound is 0.2 m higher th

mina [271]

The catcher can catch the ball at a height of 0.96 m from the ground.

The distance between the pitcher's mound and the catcher's box is about 60'6", which translates to 18.44 m. An average pitcher can pitch with speeds ranging from 88 mph to 97 mph, which is from 39.3 m/s to 43.4 m/s.

Assume the pitcher pitches a ball horizontally with a speed of 40 m/s. If the catcher catches the ball in a time t, then the ball travels a horizontal distance x of 18.44 m and at the same time falls through a height y.

The horizontal motion of the ball is uniform motion since no force acts on the ball ( assuming no air resistance) and hence the acceleration of the ball along the horizontal direction is zero.

Therefore,

$x=ut$

Calculate the time t by substituting 18.44 m for x and 40 m/s for u.

$t=\frac{x}{u} \\ =\frac{18.44 m}{40 m/s} \\ =0.461s$

The ball is acted upon by the earth's gravitational attraction and hence it accelerates downwards with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity g.

Since a horizontal projection is assumed, the ball has no component of velocity in the downward direction.

Therefore, for vertical motion, which is an accelerated motion, the distance y, the ball falls in the time t taken by it to reach the catcher's box is given by the equation,

$y=\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Substitute 9.8 m/s² for g and 0.461 s for t.

$y=\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\ y=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(0.461s)^2=1.04 m$

The pitcher releases the ball at a height of 1.8 m from a mound which is at a height of 0.2 m. Thus, the ball is released at a height of 2.0 m from the ground. It falls through a distance of 1.04 m in the time it takes to reach the catcher.

Therefore, the height at which the catcher needs to keep his glove so as to catch the ball is given by, $(2.0 m)-(1.04 m)=0.96 m$

The catcher needs to hold his glove at a height of <u>0,96 m from the ground.</u>
