a rescue line is to be thrown horizontally from the bridge of a cruise ship at 40.0 m above sea level to a life boat 50.0 m away

with what horizontal speed should the rescue line be thrown?

There is a 40m drop from the bridge, so we can work out the time of the vertical component first (how long it will take to reach the water) 

do this by using a SUVAT equation s=ut+0.5at^2
this rearranges to t= sqrt(2s/a)
- note that u has been removed since there is no initial velocity.
 
sqrt((2*40)/9.81)= 2.86 seconds 

this means that the horizontal component of 50m has so be covered in 2.86s 
and speed = distance/ time 

50m/2.86s=17.48ms^-1

the line has to be thrown at 17.48ms^-1 or more to reach the life boat.

C'est quoi le lien entre l'atmosphere et les plantes?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Les plantes produisent de l'oxygène et ont contribué à faire de la Terre une planète habitable. Grâce au processus de photosynthèse pendant la journée, les plantes absorbent le dioxyde de carbone de l'air, le convertissent en sucre et libèrent de l'oxygène dans l'atmosphère.

Les plantes consomment du dioxyde de carbone - un gaz à effet de serre important - au cours du processus de photosynthèse. La réduction du dioxyde de carbone dans l'atmosphère a un effet de refroidissement indirect. Les plantes refroidissent également l'atmosphère car elles libèrent de la vapeur d'eau lorsqu'elles deviennent chaudes, un processus similaire à la transpiration.

la température, l'humidité et l'intensité lumineuse autour de la plante; la concentration de dioxyde de carbone dans l'air autour des feuilles. La relation est inverse; autrement dit, à mesure que la concentration de CO2 augmente, le nombre de stomates produits diminue, et vice versa.
