There is no gravity in orbit/space to pull them toward a certain area so they have full movement and that is why they float

You feel gravity when you feel things pressing together. Like your foot pressing against the floor, or your heart pressing against the inside of your chest. If everything around you is falling just like you are, then you never feel any things pressing together, and that feels like there's no weight.

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.

A bead slides without friction around a loopthe-loop. The bead is released from a height 21.9 m from the bottom of the loop-the-
wariber [46]

Answer:

Part a)

v = 12.45 m/s

Part B)

F_n = 0.05 N

Explanation:

Part A)

As we know that the point A lies on the top of the loop

so we will have by energy conservation

mgH = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + mg(2R)

so the speed at point A is given as

mg(H - 2R) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

v = \sqrt{2g(H - 2R)}

v = \sqrt{2(9.81)(21.9 - 2\times 7)}

v = 12.45 m/s

Part B)

Now the force equation at point A is given as

F_n + mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

F_n = \frac{mv^2}{R} - mg[/tex]

F_n = 0.004(\frac{12.45^2}{7} - 9.81)

F_n = 0.05 N

The haystack maker tractor lifted 120 kg of grass to a height of 5 meters in 6 seconds. Calculate the power of the haystack make
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

1000 Joules per second.

Explanation:

To lift that much grass 5 meters higher than it was before the tractor did work that is the product of the (force needed to overdo gravity) and (displacement):

W = mg\Delta h=120kg\cdot 10\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 5m = 6000J

Power is work over the amount of time:

P = \frac{W}{\Delta t}=\frac{6000J}{6 s} = 1000 \frac{J}{s}
