<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Radiation

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Green house effect refers to the exchange of incoming and outgoing solar radiation that warms the earth. </u></em>
  • Solar energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere and warms the Earth. About 30% of this energy is reflected back into space.
  • <em><u>Green house gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere trap the remaining energy and warms up the planet's surface above the normal temperature which result to a significant change in climate. </u></em>
  • The solar radiation is absorbed by components of the earth surface, that is the oceans, land and atmosphere. As they heat up and heat is released to the atmosphere and into the space.

Which disadvantage of nuclear power use poses the greatest threat to the environment?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The correct answer is The storage and management of radioactive wastes

Explanation:

In general, nuclear reactions (changes in the nucleus of an atom such as fission) release a lot of energy including a lot of heat. Moreover, this heat is used by humans to obtain electricity and other types of energy, which is known as a nuclear power. This type of power is considered positive because it does not emit carbon and it is quite efficient.

However, in most cases, it is a threat to the environment and living beings because storing and managing the wastes of this type of power is difficult and expensive. Indeed, dealing with the wastes of nuclear power requires complex infrastructure, and any accident or leaking leads to serious consequences from the death of those exposed to the wastes to permanent loss of diversity or changes in nearby areas.

a uniform rod is hung at onen end and is partially submerged in water. If the density of the rod is 5/9 than of wter, find the f
34kurt

Answer:

    \frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} } = 5/9

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve using Archimedes' principle which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the desalted liquid.

         B = ρ_liquid  g V_liquid

let's write the translational equilibrium condition

         B - W = 0

let's use the definition of density

        ρ_body = m / V_body

        m = ρ_body  V_body

        W = ρ_body  V_body  g

we substitute

          ρ_liquid  g  V_liquid = ρ_body  g  V_body

          \frac{\rho_{body}   }{\rho_{liquid} } } =  \frac{V_{liquid}   }{V_{body} } }

In the problem they indicate that the ratio of densities is 5/9, we write the volume of the bar

          V = A h_bogy

Thus

          \frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{1body} } = \frac{ h_{liquid} }{h_{body} }

we substitute

           5/9 = \frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }

What is 1113.28 in a sig fig?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

6 significant figure

Explanation:

The digits 111328 all are 6 figures with no figure being zero, neither zero after the other digits. In this case, all the numbers are significant and since they are only six numbers, then this is a six significant figure. In case we add another zero after digit 8, the zero is not significant but if added either infront of 8 or 2, the zero becomes significant.

John and Linda are arguing about the definition of density. John says the density of an object is proportional to itsmass. Linda
NeX [460]

Answer:

They are both correct.

Explanation:

The density of an object is defined as the ratio of its mass to its volume. This implies that the density of the object is both proportional to the mass and also to the volume of the object. John only mentioned mass which is correct. Linda mentioned the second variable on which density depends which is the volume of the object.

Hence considering the both statements objectively, one can say that they are both correct.
