The process in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat is called the greenhouse effect.

<span>There are many gases which causes greenhouse effect like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases etc. These gases trap the heat in the atmosphere, resulting the surface of earth to get warm producing greenhouse effect.</span>

Answer:

$C = 16544.35\, USD$

Explanation:

The annual electricity cost is:

$C = (\frac{1}{0.93} )\cdot(75\, h.p.)\cdot(0.746\, kW)\cdot(2500\,h)\cdot(\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} )\cdot(\frac{1\,kWh}{3600\,kJ} )\cdot (0.11\,\frac{USD}{kWh} )$

$C = 16544.35\, USD$

Two loudspeakers (A and B) are 3.20m apart and emitting a sound with a frequency of 400Hz. An observer is 2.10m directly in fron

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The observer hears a loud sound

Explanation:

In order to know if the observer hears a loud or a quiet sound, you need to know if there is a constructive or destructive interference between the sound waves of the loudspeakers.

You first calculate the distance between the observer and the loudspeakers.

The distances are given by:

d1: distance to loudspeaker A = 2.10m

d2: distance to loudspeaker B

$d_2=\sqrt{(3.20m)^2+(2.10m)^2}=3.827m$

Next, you calculate the wavelength of the sound waves by using the following formula:

$\lambda=\frac{v_s}{f}$

vs: speed of sound = 343 m/s

f: frequency of the waves = 400Hz

λ: wavelength

$\lambda=\frac{343m/s}{400Hz}=0.8575m$

Next, you calculate the path difference between the distance from the observer to the loudspeakers:

$\Delta d=3.827m-2.10m=1.727m$

You obtain a constructive interference (loud sound) if the quotient between the wavelength of the sound and the difference path is an integer:

$\frac{\Delta d}{\lambda}=\frac{1.727m}{0.857}\approx2$

Then, there will be a constructive interference, and the sound who the observer hears is loud.

The asteroid 2007 VK184 has one chance in 2940 of hitting the Earth between the years 2048 and 2057. The asteroid is 130 meters

N76 [4]

Answer:

The average death rate for this type of event is closest to 350 people per event.

Explanation:

Between the years 2048 and 2057

Is 10 years. Since there is only one chance of event between these years, there is no point to consider it.

The total number of events = 2940 chances.

average death rate per event = total number of dead people divided by total number of events of occurrence.

1000000/2940 = 340.134

The average death rate for this type of event is therefore closest to 350 people per event
