How might burning fossil fuels affect the composition of gases in the atmosphere?

1 answer:

5 0

No "might". The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere HAS gone up since the start of industrialisation as the result of burning fossil fuels.

Answer: $3.7 \times 10^{-4} N$

Explanation:

The gravitational pull between two object is given by:

$F = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

Where M and m are the masses of the object, r is the distance between the masses and G = 6.67× 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.

We have to calculate the net force on Earth due to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn when they are in one line. It means when they are the closest distance.

$F_{net] = G\frac{M_eM_v}{r_v^2}+G\frac{M_eM_j}{r_j^2}+G\frac{M_eM_s}{r_s^2}$

Mass of Earth, Me = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Venus, Mv = 0.815 Me

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = 318 Me

Mass of Saturn, Ms = 95.1 Me

closest distance between Earth and Venus, rv = 38 × 10⁶ km = 0.25 AU

closest distance between Jupiter and Earth, rj = 588 × 10⁶ km = 3.93 AU

closest distance between Earth and Saturn, rs = 1.2 × 10⁹ km = 8.0 AU

where 1 AU = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Inserting the values:

$F_{net} = G\frac{M_e\times 0.815 M_e}{(0.25AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 318 M_e}{(3.93AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 95.1 M_e}{(8.0AU)^2}\\ \Rightarrow F_{net} = \frac{(GM_e^2)}{(1AU)^2}(\frac{0.815}{0.25^2}+\frac{318}{3.93^2}+\frac{95.1}{8.0^2})=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times (5.98\times 10^{24})^2}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}(35.1) = 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N$

Solve this physics for me please with steps

Answer:

The answers are located in each of the explanations showed below

Explanation:

(i) Surface Tension: The tensile force that causes this tension acts parallel to the surface and is due to the forces of attraction between the molecules of the liquid. The magnitude of this force per unit of length is called surface tension.

σ = F/l [N/m]

where:

F = force [N]

l = length [m]

σ = Surface Tension [N/m]

(ii) Frequency is the number of repetitions per unit of time of any periodic event.

f = 1/T [1/s] or [s^-1] or [Hz]

where:

T = period [s] or [seconds]

f = frecuency [Hz] or [hertz]

(iii) Each of the units will be shown for each variable

v = velocity [m/s]

a = accelertion [m/s^2]

s = displacement [m]

$[\frac{m}{s} ]^{2} =[\frac{m}{s} ]^{2} + 2* [\frac{m}{s^{2} } ]*[m]\\$

$[\frac{m^2}{s^2} ] =[\frac{m^2}{s^2} ] + [\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } ]$

$[\frac{m^2}{s^2} ]$

b) To find the velocity we must derivate the function X with respect to t because this derivate will give us the equation for the velocity, it means:

$v=\frac{dx}{dt} \\v = 0.75*2*t+5*t$

$(i) X = 0.75*t^{2} +5*t+1\\X = 0.75*(4)^{2} +5*(4)+1\\X = 33 [m]$

ii) replacing in the derivated equation.

$v=1.5*(4)+5\\v=11[m/s]$

iii) the average velocity is defined by the expresion v = x/t

$v = \frac{x-x_{0} }{t-t_{0} } \\$

$x_{0}=0.75(2)^{2}+5(2)+1 \\ x_{0}=14[m]\\x=0.75(7)^{2}+5(7)+1\\x=72.75[m]\\t = 7 [s]t0= 2[s]Now replacing:[tex]v_{prom} = \frac{72.75-14}{7-2} \\v_{prom} = 11.75 [m/s]$

a) Pascal's principle or Pascal's law, where the pressure exerted on an incompressible fluid and in balance within a container of indeformable walls is transmitted with equal intensity in all directions and at all points of the fluid.

Therefore:

P1 = pressure at point 1.

P2 = pressure at point 2.

P1 = F1/A1

P2= F2/A2

$\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} }=\frac{F_{2}}{A_{2} } \\F_{1}=A_{1}*(\frac{F_{2}}{A_{2} })$

b) One of the applications of the surface tension is the capillarity this is a property of liquids that depends on their surface tension (which, in turn, depends on the cohesion or intermolecular force of the liquid), which gives them the ability to climb or descend through a capillary tube.

Other examples of surface tension:

The mosquitoes that can sit on the water.

A clip on the water.

Some leaves that remain floating on the surface.

Some soaps and detergents on the water.
