Why was the concern over global cooling replaced with a concern over global warming?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>During 1970s, same observations were seen as what we have observed today pertaining to our climate. Journals were discussing that there would be warming because of greenhouse gases emissions. Also, it was observed between the years 1970 to 1990 that there was a steady surface temperature increase. Due to this, people are now fixated with global warming rather than on global cooling.</span>

Comic-strip hero superman meets an asteroid in outer space, and hurls it at 850 m/s, as fast as a bullet. the asteroid is three

Vesnalui [34]

Before the asteroid is threw, the total momentum is zero, since neither Superman nor the asteroid are moving.

Conservation of momentum commands the total momentum after the astronaut is threw must be zero too. This means that Superman's backward momentum afterward throwing the asteroid is equivalent to the asteroid forwards momentum, in size.

Momentum is mass times velocity. We know the mass of the asteroid is 1000M and its velocity is 850 m/s, so its momentum is
(1000M)(850 m/s) = 850,000M m/s.

So to get the answer: dividing by Superman's mass, M, gives his recoil velocity o 850,000 m/s.

An object is dropped from rest from a height 5.6 × 106 m above the surface of the earth. If there is no air resistance, what is

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 10.48 km/s

Explanation:

Data

h = 5.6 x 10⁶ m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Formula

vf = $\sqrt{2gh}$

Substitution

vf = $\sqrt{2(5.6 x 10^{6}) (9.81)}$

vf = $\sqrt{109760000}$

vf = 10476.64 m/s

convert to km/s

vf = 10476.64/1000

vf = 10.48 km/s

A runner is jogging in a straight line at a

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Total distance traveled by bird is 10.5 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of runner= 8.4 km/hr

Distance = 6.3 km

Velocity of bird = 42 km/hr

Suppose, How far does the bird travel?

We need to calculate the time of bird

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v_{b}}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{6.3}{42}$

$t=0.15\ hr$

We need to calculate the distance runner travels during time period

Using formula of distance

$d=v_{r}\times t$

$d=8.4\times0.15$

$d=1.26\ km$

We need to calculate the distance of runner to FL

Using distance

$d'=6.3-1.26$

$d'=5.04\ km$

We need to calculate the net closing speed between runner and bird

Using speed

$v'=v_{r}+v_{b}$

$v'=8.4+42$

$v'=50.4\ km/hr$

We need to calculate the time for runner and bird to meet

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v'}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{5.04}{50.4}$

$t=0.1\ hr$

We need to calculate the distance covered by runner

Using formula of distance

$d=vt$

Put the value into the formula

$d=8.4\times0.1$

$d=0.84\ km$

We need to calculate the distance covered by bird to runner

Using formula of distance

$d=vt$

Put the value into the formula

$d=42\times0.1$

$d=4.2\ km$

We need to calculate the total distance

Using distance

$D=6.3+4.2$

$D=10.5\ km$

Hence, Total distance traveled by bird is 10.5 km.

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 2.00 m/s. After 5.00s what is the speed of the mail

grandymaker [24]

The acceleration of gravity (on Earth) is 9.8 m/s² downward.

This means that every falling object gains 9.8 m/s more downward speed
every second that it falls.

In 5 seconds of falling, it gains (5 x 9.8 m/s) = 49 m/s of downward speed.

If it was already descending at 2.0 m/s at the beginning of the 5 sec,
then at the end of the 5 sec it would be descending at

(2 m/s + 49 m/s) = 51 m/s .
