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.

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three
Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding <em>F</em>₁ and <em>F</em>₂ is

<em>F</em>₁ + <em>F</em>₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force <em>F</em>₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + <em>F</em>₃ = -12 N

<em>F</em>₃ = -30 N

So <em>F</em>₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.

If your friend drops a chocolate bar to you from a height of 5.0 m above your hands,
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

<h3>1.01 s</h3>

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion S = ut+1/2gt² to solve the problem where;

u is the initial velocity of the chocolate = 0m/s

t is the time taken

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

S is the height of fall = 5.0m

Substituting the given parameter into the formula to get the time t we have;

5 = 0(t)+1/2(9.81)t²

5 = 4.905t²

t² = 5/4.905

t² = 1.019

t = √1.019

t = 1.009 secs

<em>Hence it will take 1.01 secs for me to catch the chocolate bar</em>

Can you explain to be the definition of Quantum Theory?
Vanyuwa [196]
Quantum Theory is commonly related to Quantum Mechanics, or the physics of sub-atomic particles. Quantum Theory defines the theories or educated ideas behind Quantum Mechanics. I believe this is the answer you are looking for.
