I think the correct answer would be the third option. An example of a pure research would be creating synthetic elements to study their properties. Pure research is also known as fundamental or basic research. It has an exploratory nature wherein it is done without any end use in mind. It is mostly out of the curiosity or intuition of a researcher. Most of the study under this type is aiming to advance an existing knowledge by explaining or identifying the relationship of the variables being studied. It is aimed at improving theories in order to the understanding of a specific  phenomenon.

(CO2) (O2) (He) (N2) (CH4) (Imagine these are balloons with the specified gas inside)
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Highest speed: He

Lowest speed: CO2

Explanation:

The rms speed (average speed) of the molecules/atoms in an ideal gas is given by:

v=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

where

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas

M is the molar mass of the gas, which is the mass of the gas per unit mole

From the equation, we see that at equal temperatures, the speed of the molecules in the gas is inversely proportional to the molar mass: the higher the molar mass, the lower the speed, and vice-versa.

In this problem, we have 5 gases:

(CO2) (O2) (He) (N2) (CH4)

Their molar mass is:

CO2: 44 g/mol

O2: 16 g/mol

He: 4 g/mol

N2: 14 g/mol

CH4: 16 g/mol

The gas with lowest molar mass is Helium (He): therefore, this is the gas with greatest average speed.

The gas with highest molar mass is CO2: therefore, this is the gas with lowest average speed.

How are radiation levels kept in balance?
user100 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:We known that Earths energy machine is driven by sunlight which acts as fuel for this machine and to strike a balance between outgoing long wave radiation and short wave radiation there are many factors which are involved in this process.Sun emits this energy in the form of short wave radiation because of the huge energy it has and short wave radiation are higher in energy.Hence, they reach the earth surface mostly as visible and UV rays.After reaching the earths surface what happens with these rays is that they get absorbed by the clouds and other constituents of Earth.

Now, this energy needs to be emitted back in to space in order to balance out the energy budget of earth and that is why this energy is emitted back as long wave radiation which have less energy and also earth has less energy unlike the sun.Loss of this energy is essential as Earth looses most of its energy through this and results in cooling.But when this OLR decreases it should be a cause of concern for us.

This imbalance is caused by a wide range of different human induced activities which has a cumulative effect on the temperature of earth.These activities gives rise to a huge gain in the CO2 concentration which is why this word has gain so much popularity and a cause of widespread concern for us.At community level we contribute to this heating by increasing usage of personal automobiles rather than going for public transport , advancement in technology has greatly changed our lifestyles making it more simpler and easier but this demands more energy consumption.Landscape changes are one of the most important because its taking place at a faster rate.Most of the land being cleared off to built new houses which means clearing off the existing vegetation which leads to temperature rise.Setting up of Industry depending on its type can reduce the amount of OLR escaping the surface by introducing more amount of GHGs in to the atmosphere.

Its these small communities which add up to become the entire human population causing a massive damage and hence at community level if people realize and take necessary steps things will start to change.
