From the last problem, what is the ratio of the ppm change in CO2 to the ppm change in CH4? Assume that the concentrations of CO

2 and CH4 start at their present-day values of 400 ppm and 1.7 ppm, respectively.

An additional 10ppm of methane will change the upward IR heat flux (in tropical

atmosphere) from 289.29 W/m2

to 286.211 W/m2

, which is a reduction of 3.08

W/m2

.

An additional 10ppm of CO2 will change the upward IR heat flux from 289.29 W/m2

to 289.29 W/m2

, which is a change of 0.13 W/m2

.

Therefore, an additional 10 ppm of methane would have a much larger impact on

the outgoing infrared flux than an additional 10 ppm of CO2 at current

concentrations

What net external force is exerted on a 1100-kg artillery shell fired from a battleship if the shell is accelerated at 2.40×104
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Force exerted, F = 2.64 × 10⁷ Newton

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the artillery shell, m = 1100 kg

It is accelerated at, a=2.4\times 10^4\ m/s^2

We need to find the magnitude of force exerted on the ship by the artillery shell. It can be determined using Newton's second law of motion :

F = ma

F=1100\ kg\times 2.4\times 10^4\ m/s^2

F = 26400000 Newton

or

F = 2.64 × 10⁷ Newton

So, the force exerted on the ship by the artillery shell is 2.64 × 10⁷ Newton.

Which of the following is an example of conduction?
Jet001 [13]

the answer was C because Heat is transferred by conduction when a hot object is in direct contact with a cold object. So, a metal spoon becoming warm when placed in a cup of hot tea is an example of conduction because the spoon gains heat by being in direct contact with the hot tea.

A rocket is launched upward with a constant acceleration of 165 m/s^2. After 8.00 seconds of ascension a passenger on the rocket
Novay_Z [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the linear kinematic movement. We will start by finding the speed of the body from time and the acceleration given.

Through the position equations we will calculate the distance traveled.

Finally, using this same position relationship and considering the previously found speed, we can determine the time to reach your goal.

For time (t) and acceleration (a) we have to,

t = 8s, a = 165m/s^2

The velocity would be,

u = a*t \\u = 165*8\\u = 1320m/s

Now the position is,

h= \frac{1}{2} at^2

h = \frac{1}{2} 165*8^2

h = 5280m

Now with the initial speed and position found we will have the time is,

h=ut +\frac{1}{2} at^2

-5280=1320t - \frac{1}{2} 9.8t^2

4.9t^2-1320t-5280=0

Solving the polynomian we have,

t = 273.33s = 4.56minutes

Therefore  the rocket will take to hit the ground around to 4.56min

What has more thermal energy? A giant, frozen iceberg or a swimming pool filled with boiling water? Explain.​
padilas [110]

Boiling water has a lot more heat than the oven's air (even though the air has a higher temperature). ... A match has a greater temperature than the iceberg because the average molecule in the match is moving faster than the average molecule in the iceberg
