Answer:

The correct option is: CO₂

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect refers to the natural phenomenon by which the Sun's radiation increases the temperature of the Earth's surface.

The incoming Sun's radiation is radiated by the greenhouse gases present in the Earth's atmosphere. A fraction of the radiated energy is then absorbed by the Earth's surface, thus resulting in increase in the temperature.

<u>Thus the green house effect depends upon the amount of green house gases present in the atmosphere.</u>

The green house gases are the r<u>adiatively active gases.</u> The main four green house gases are: water vapor (H₂O(g)), carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄) and ozone (O₃).

<u>Human activities such as burning of fossil gases and deforestation increases the concentration of </u><u>CO₂ </u><u>significantly.</u><u> Thereby contributing to the greenhouse effect.</u>

18. Describe the relationship between kinetic energy and mass, and give an example of
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of an object and also directly proportional to the square of the velocity of that object:

E_k = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Notice that if we keep velocity constant and only increase the mass of a object, the kinetic energy of that object would increase, as we've already emphasized the direct relationship between the kinetic energy term and the mass term.

Let's take a simple example: assume that object 1 and object 2 are both moving at the same velocity but object 1 has a much lower mass than object 2. According to the equation, object 1 has lower kinetic energy. This object can then transform all of its kinetic energy into some other form, say, heat the ground. The heat transferred will be significantly lower than by the object 2 moving at the same velocity but having a much greater mass.
