The main offenders in terms of greenhouse gas emissions are Asia and Oceania.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone.

Asia is Earth's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the Eastern and Northern Hemispheres. Whereas Oceania is a geographic region that includes Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia.  

Asia includes: Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Mongolia, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Asia has three main financial centers: Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore.

Oceania countries are: Australia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu

Currently, most of factories that exist in the world are established within Asian and Oceanian region because they have good supply of cheap labours. For example, China was initially one of the lowest labour cost countries known.  They produce the largest amount of pollutant which contain CO2 that contributed greatly to the greenhouse effects.

Hope it helps

The main offenders of greenhouse gas emissions are \boxed{{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{, C}}{{\text{H}}_4}{\text{, }}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{, }}{{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O, CFCs, HCFCs}}}  and the offenders in terms of countries are \boxed{{\text{China, United States, India,}}\;{\text{Russia, Brazil, Germany, United Kingdom}}}  

Further explanation:

Greenhouse Effect:

It is the process in which radiations are absorbed by some gases present in the atmosphere and are not reflected back into space. This results in the insulation of the earth’s surface and prevents it from freezing.

During the day, the earth’s atmosphere gets heated up due to the heat of the sun. But at night, earth surface cools down and heat is emitted back into the atmosphere. During this complete process, some heat is also absorbed by greenhouse gases present in the earth’s atmosphere. This leads to increase in temperature of earth to a very high level that causes several devastating effects.  

Causes of greenhouse effect:

1. Deforestation

2. Burning of fossil fuels

3. Industrial waste and landfills

4. Increased use of chemical fertilizers

5. Greenhouse gases

Greenhouse gases:

These are the gases that absorb and emit infrared radiations in the wavelength range that is emitted by the earth. Major greenhouse gases are as follows:

• Carbon dioxide  \left({{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}}\right)

• Ozone \left({{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}}\right)  

• Methane \left({{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}}\right)

• Nitrous oxide \left({{{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}}\right)

• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

• Hydrofluorocarbons (HCFCs)

• Water vapors \left({{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}}\right)

Consequences of greenhouse effect on the environment:

1. Global warming

2. Ozone layer depletion

3. Air pollution

4. Acidification of water bodies

China, the United States, Russia, Brazil, India, Germany, and the United Kingdom are the major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. All these countries are collectively responsible for more than 60 % of total global warming prevalent on the earth.

The Lamborghini Huracan has an initial acceleration of 0.75g. Its mass, with a driver, is 1510 kg.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

11109.825 N

Explanation:

Given Data:

total mass =m=1510 kg

initial acceleration (a) =0.75g                  ( g=9.81 m/s² )

F=ma

  = (1510)*( 0.75*9.81)

  = 11109.825 N

A solenoid used to produce magnetic fields for research purposes is 2.1 m long, with an inner radius of 28 cm and 1000 turns of
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

I = 2172.46 A

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a solenoid, l = 2.1 m

The inner radius of the solenoid, r = 28 cm = 0.28 m

The number of turns in the wire, N = 1000

The magnetic field in the solenoid, B = 1.3 T

We need to find the current carried by it. We know that, the magnetic field in a solenoid is given by :

B=\mu_o nI\\\\or\\\\B=\mu_o \dfrac{N}{L}I\\\\I=\dfrac{BL}{\mu_o N}

Put all the values,

I=\dfrac{1.3\times 2.1}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1000}\\\\I=2172.46\ A

So, it carry current of 2172.46 A.
