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

A 69 kg driver gets into an empty taptap to start the day's work. The springs compress 2×10−2 m . What is the effective spring c
natulia [17]

Answer:

3.4\cdot 10^4 N/m

Explanation:

The spring system in the taptap obey's Hooke's law, which states that:

F=kx

where

F is the magnitude of the force applied

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the spring

In this problem:

- The force applied is the weight of the driver of mass m = 69 kg, so

F=mg=(69 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=676.2 N

- The compression of the spring is

x=2\cdot 10^{-2} m=0.02 m

So, the spring constant is

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{676.2 N}{0.02 m}=3.4\cdot 10^4 N/m

How does water get up to the atmosphere, and how does it get back down to earth surface
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Water gets up to the Earth's atmosphere by evaporating from a body of water, which is then they become water vapor. It returns back to the surface by returning back to its water state and falling back down (as rain). The water vapor turns into clouds (clouds are really just water droplets), and when it cannot hold anymore waters, it disperses all the water (by raining).

(a) Find the magnitude of an earthquake that has an intensity that is 37.25 (that is, the amplitude of the seismograph reading i
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of an earthquake is 5.6.

Explanation:

The magnitude of an earthquake can be found as follows:

M = log(\frac{I}{S})

Where:

I: is the intensity of the earthquake = 37.25 cm

S: is the intensity of a standard earthquake = 10⁻⁴ cm

Hence, the magnitude is:

M = log(\frac{I}{S}) = log(\frac{37.25}{10^{-4}}) = 5.6

Therefore, the magnitude of an earthquake is 5.6.

I hope it helps you!
