Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.

A 1.95 kg box sits on an incline of 24 ° with the horizontal. If the box accelerates down the incline at 0.245 m/s 2 , what is t
koban [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

                            F = ma

mgsinθ - μmgcosθ = ma

      gsinθ - μgcosθ = a

                   μgcosθ = gsinθ - a

                              μ = (gsinθ - a) / gcosθ

                              μ = (9.81sin24 - 0.245) / 9.81cos24

                              μ = 0.4178906...

                              μ = 0.418

The height a ball bounces is less than the height of the previous bounce due to friction. The heights of the bounces form a geom
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the first height be h . second height .75h

third height .75h . fourth height .75²h

fifth height .75²h , sixthth height .75³ and so on

Total distance consists of two geometric series as follows

1 ) first series

h + .75h + .75²h + .75³h......

2 )  second series

.75h +.75²h +.75³h + .75⁴h .......

Sum of first series :

first term a = h , commom ratio r = .75

sum = a / (1 - r )

= h / 1 - .75

= h / .25

4h

sum of second series :--

first term a = .75 h , commom ratio r = .75

sum = a / (1 - r )

= .75h / 1 - .75

= .75h / .25

3h

Total of both the series

= 4h + 3h

= 7h .

h = 1 m

Total distance = 7 m

A jet with mass m = 5 × 104 kg jet accelerates down the runway for takeoff at 1.9 m/s2. What is the net vertical force on the ai
OLEGan [10]
The first sentence got me all psyched up to answer the question "What
horizontal force do the engines generate in order to accelerate it ?". 

But the actual question, in the second sentence, turned out to be
a completely different one.

When the plane levels off and continues on at a constant altitude, it's
not accelerating up or down, so the net vertical force on it is zero. 
The lift generated by the wings is exactly balancing the downward
force of gravity on the airplane.

Every 6 seconds a pendulum completes one cycle. 
Basile [38]

The period is the time it takes any repeating process
to complete one cycle.  You just told us what it is for the
pendulum . . . 6 seconds.

The frequency is the reciprocal of the period.  For the pendulum,
that's

                 1 / (6 sec) = (1/6) per second = 1/6 Hertz .
