Which element is the biggest contributor to Climate Change?
sergey [27]

Answer:

carbon dioxide (CO2)

Explanation:

the burning or combustion of these fossil fuels creates gases that are released into the atmosphere. Of these gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common and is the gas most responsible for exacerbating the green- house effect that is changing global climate patterns.

An apple hanging from a limb has potential energy because of its height . If it falls ,what becomes of this energy just before i
sineoko [7]

Answer: Just before its hits the ground it becomes kinetic energy and when it hits the ground it becomes in another form of energy (acoustic energy or thermal energy, for example)

Explanation:

Energy is the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others.

In this sense, according to the Conservation of Energy principle: <em>"energy is not created or destroyed, it is transformed."</em>

So, in the case of the apple, its total energy is conserved.

When the apple is hanging from a limb, it has zero kinetic energy K_{o}=0 (because it is at rest) and has gravitational potential energy U_{o}, which depends on the mass m, the acceleration due gravity g and the height h:

U_{o}=mgh

When the apple falls, just before its hits the ground, this gravitational potential energy transforms in kinetic energy K_{1} (since the apple is moving), which depends on the mass and velocity V of the apple:

K_{1}=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}

When the apple hits the ground, the gravitational potential energy is zero (h=0) and the kinetic energy transforms into some other form of energy (acoustic energy or thermal energy, for example).

What is specific gravity​
Mrac [35]

Answer:

It is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material.

Explanation:

<em>Specific gravity is also known as relative density.</em>

<u>To find the relative density of substance, you:</u>

  • Divide the density of substance measured
  • And divide that by the density of the reference

Chapter 36, Problem 007 Light of wavelength 586 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The angle between the first diffraction minimum
svp [43]

Answer:

d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m

Explanation:

given

wavelength of light  λ = 479 nm

                                   = 479 x 10⁻⁹ m

the angle

θ = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575°                

using                                              

condition for diffraction minimum ,

         d sinθ = m λ                        

for first minimum m = 1

       d sinθ = λ                      

therefore ,

slit width                                  

d =\dfrac{\lambda}{sin\theta}          

d =\dfrac{479\times 10^{-9}}{sin 0.575^0}

d =\dfrac{479\times 10^{-9}}{0.01}              

d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m                                                    

hence, the width of the slit is equal to d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m
