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.

A proton is confined to a space 1 fm wide (about the size of an atomic nucleus). What's the minimum uncertainty in its velocity?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Minimum uncertainty in velocity of a proton,\Delta v\ge 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s      

Explanation:

It is given that,

A proton is confined to a space 1 fm wide, \Delta x=10^{-15}\ m

We need to find the minimum uncertainty in its velocity. We know that the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle gives the uncertainty between position and the momentum such that,

\Delta p.\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}

Since, p = mv

\Delta (mv).\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}

m \Delta v.\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta v\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi m\Delta x}

\Delta v\ge \dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 10^{-15}}

\Delta v\ge 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s

So, the minimum uncertainty in its velocity is greater than 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

An ion with charge of Q = +3.2 x 10-19 C is in a region where a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 5.0 X 105 V/m is perpend
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

Q = +3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

E = 5.0 X 10⁵ V/m

B = 0.80 T

ion's acceleration is zero  

when acceleration is zero the magnitude of both the forces becomes equal.

q E = q V B

v = \dfrac{E}{B}

v= \dfrac{5 \times 10^5}{0.80}

v = 6.25 × 10⁵ m/s ≈ 6.3 × 10⁵ m/s

hence, the correct answer is option C

Calculate the internal axial load at a point D if length L=7 ft. The part is subjected to loads P1=632 lbs, P2=888 lbs (applied
liraira [26]

Answer:

- 256 lbs

Explanation:

The internal axial load at point D can be calculated as the change in the subjected loads. if the magnitude of the horizontal direction = zero

EF_x = 0; Then:

internal axial load at point D = Δ P

= -(P₂ - P₁)

= - ( 888 lbs - 632 lbs)

= - 256 lbs

A wave x meters long has a speed of y meters per second. The frequency of the wave is
Sergio [31]
The correct answer is (b.) y/x hertz. That is because the formula to get the frequency is f =  v / w. The following values (v=y meters / second; wavelength = x meters) must be substituted to the equation, which leaves you y/x hertz.
