"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.

Gayle runs at a speed of 3.85 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After s

enot [183]

Answer:

Final velocity at the bottom of hill is 15.56 m/s.

Explanation:

The given problem can be divided into four parts:

1. Use conservation of momentum to determine the speed of the combined mass (Gayle and sled)

From the law of conservation of momentum (perfectly inelastic collision), the combined velocity is given as:

$p_i = p_f$

$m_1u_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v$

$v = \frac{(m_1u_1 + m_2v_2)}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v=\frac{[50.0\ kg)(3.85\ m/s) + 0]}{(50.0\ kg + 5.00\ kg)}= 3.5\ m/s$

2. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed after traveling a vertical height of 5 m.

The velocity of Gayle and sled at the instant her brother jumps on is found from the law of conservation of energy:

$E(i) = E(f)$

$KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)$

$0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)$

$v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]}$

Here, initial velocity is the final velocity from the first stage. Therefore:

$v(f) = \sqrt{[(3.5)^2+2(9.8)(5.00-0)]}= 10.5\ m/s$

3. Use conservation of momentum to find the combined speed of Gayle and her brother.

Given:

Initial velocity of Gayle and sled is, $u_1(i)=10.5$ m/s

Initial velocity of her brother is, $u_2(i)=0$ m/s

Mass of Gayle and sled is, $m_1=55.0$ kg

Mass of her brother is, $m_2=30.0$ kg

Final combined velocity is given as:

$v(f) = \frac{[m_1u_1(i) + m_2u_2(i)]}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v(f)=\frac{[(55.0)(10.5) + 0]}{(55.0+30.0)}= 6.79$ m/s

4. Finally, use conservation of energy to determine the final speed at the bottom of the hill.

Using conservation of energy, the final velocity at the bottom of the hill is:

$E(i) = E(f)$

$KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)$

$0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)$

$v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]} \\v(f)=\sqrt{[(6.79)^2 + 2(9.8)(15 - 5.00)]}\\v(f)= 15.56\ m/s$

Consider two ideal gases, A & B, at the same temperature. The rms speed of the molecules of gas A is twice that of gas B. Ho

uysha [10]

Answer:

option (d)

Explanation:

The relation between the rms velocity and the molecular mass is given by

v proportional to \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} keeping the temperature constant

So for two gases

$\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}$

$\frac{2v_{B}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}$

${\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}} = 4$

${\frac{M_{B}}{4}} = M_{A}$

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

cytoplasm and channel gates

Explanation:

The movement originates from the cytoplasm. This is the fluid medium through which ions are shuttle from one place to another. However, though simple as it might appear to be, the movement requires carrier proteins. The are proteins that facilitate in the movement of the ions. These proteins have specially controlled gates called channel proteins. These are regulated proteins that open and close based on hydrogen ion concentration. These proteins are able to facilitate the movement of ATP molecules.
