It is believed that increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will result in

Physics

Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
8 0

"Belief" is not involved.  

<em>Choice-A</em> is the correct answer. Except that it's not "... will result in ...".  It's already happening.

The people who have been keeping records of temperatures at a thousand places around the world, for the past hundred years, do not "believe".  They know that average global temperatures are increasing, and have been increasing steadily for a couple of Centuries now.

Working from hypotheses, models, observations, and proven laws of nature, the global scientific community are convinced that increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, driven by human activity, are the cause of the trend in average global temperatures.

Yes, you can find published researchers who aren't so sure, and who disagree with this conclusion.  The scientific community is <em>never</em> 100% unanimous.  There were reasonable investigators and scientific observers who disagreed with Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Hawking and Einstein, in their time.  

But the voices that dispute human-caused climate change in the form of global warming are few, and they're becoming fewer as time goes on. Today, their reputation sits just a few notches above that of the Flat-Earthers, and it's continuing to sag further.

If we are to do what has to be done, in time to bring about the needed effect, it can't sag fast enough.

A) 350 J

- The initial internal energy of the cup is

U_i = 230 J

- The final internal energy of the cup is

U_f = 580 J

According to the first law of thermodynamics:

U_f - U_i = Q+W

where

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done on the system

The work done on the system in this case is 0, so we can rewrite the equation as

U_f - U_i = Q

And so we find the heat transferred

Q=580 J - 230 J=350 J

B) IN the cup

Explanation:

in this situation, we see that the internal energy of the cup increases. The internal energy of an object/substance is proportional to its temperature, so it is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of the object/substance. Therefore, in this case, the temperature (and the energy of the molecules of the substance) has increased: this means that heat has been transferred INTO the system from the environment (the heat came from the sun).

1. A plane travels a distance of 500
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Option C, 139 m/s

Explanation:

s = d/t

s = 500*10^3/3600

s = 138.8 = 139 m/s

When flying the LNAV approach, the missed approach point (MAP) would be indicated by reaching __________. A. an altitude of 3100
frutty [35]

Answer:

When flying the LNAV Approach, the missed approach point (MAP) would be indicated by reaching:

C. the RW30 waypoint.

Explanation:

  • In Aviation, LNAV stands for Lateral Navigation. The option a is incorrect as an altitude of 3100 feet refers to the decision altitude not the missed approach point.
  • The option b is incorrect as a distance of 1.5 NM  to RW30 referring to the Visual descent point (VDP) is 1.5 nautical miles for the Runway (RW) 30 from threshold.
  • The option c is correct as Missed approach point is designed to coincide with the runway threshold. The RW 30 way point is referring to the way point to the threshold for the Runway 30.

Complete Question

A football coach walks 18 meters westward, then 12 meters eastward, then 28 meters westward, and finally 14 meters eastward.

a

From this motion what is the distance covered

b

What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement

Answer:

a

  D =   72 \  m

b

Magnitude

             d =  - 20 \ m

 Direction  

West

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance covered westward is d_w_1  =  18 \  m /tex]     The  first distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e1 =  12 \  m /tex]      The second distance covered westward is [tex]d_w_2  =  28 \  m /tex]      The  second distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e2 =  14 \  m /tex]   Generally the distance covered is mathematically represented as       [tex]D =  d_w1 + d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2

=> D =   18 + 28 + 12 +  14

=> D =   72 \  m

For the second question eastward is in the direction of the positive x-axis so it would be positive and westward is in the direction of the negative x-axis so it would be negative

The magnitude of the displacement is

d =  -d_w1 -d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2

=>  d =  -18-28 + 12 + 14

=> d =  - 20 \ m

The direction is west
