What are greenhouse gasses? How does carbon dioxide enter the atmosphere? (Site 1)

Physics

Luden [163]3 years ago

Answer and explanation:

Greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, water vapor, fluorinated gases, nitrous oxide, methane, and others. Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere by respiration of plants, animals, and microbes. Plants also remove carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. The net result is that plants remove more carbon dioxide than they contribute. Microbes and fungi that decompose plants and animals also return the carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. These are all ways nature cycles carbon. Humans contribute carbon dioxide to the atmosphere when we burn wood, solid waste, and fossil fuels. When forests are burned to clear land, not only does the burning release carbon dioxide, but it eliminates trees that would otherwise be removing carbon dioxide by photosynthesis. Most of the human contribution is from burning fossil fuels in electrical power plants that burn coal or natural gas and in vehicles that run on petroleum products. Other industrial processes also contribute carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, but to a lesser extent.

Answer:

greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range

Explanation:

Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.

An oil droplet is sprayed into a uniform electric field of adjustable magnitude. The 0.11 g droplet hovers
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The direction of the field is downward, and negatively charged particles will experience an upwards force due to the field.

F = N e E     where E is the value of the field and N e the charge Q

M g = N e E      and M g is the weight of the drop

N = M g / (e E)

N = 1.1E-4 * 9.8 / (1.6E-19 * 370) = 1.1 * 9.8 / (1.6 * 370) * E15 = 1.82E13

.00011 kg is a very large drop

Q = N e = M g / E = .00011 * 9.8 / 370 = 2.91E-6 Coulombs

Check:     N = Q / e = 2.91E-6 / 1.6E-19 = 1.82E13   electrons

What is the polarity of each of the earths magnetic poles ? Explain you answer
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

When you put un-like poles together (South facing North) you can feel magnetic attraction. In the Northern Hemisphere, your compass needle points North, but if you think about it for a moment, you will discover that the magnetic pole in the Earth's Northern Hemisphere has to be a South polarity.

1. Why should you use scientific notation when writing big numbers?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

It helps the answer look clean. It also makes the work easier to work with.

Explanation:

Instead of writing a lot of zeros, all you have to do is add exponents to the number to show how much the decimal moved.

An electron in an atom's orbital shell, labeled X in the model below, released enough energy to move to a different orbital shel
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Lower energy shell which will be nearer to the nucleus.

Explanation:

When electron move from one energy level to another, an electron must gain or lose just the right amount of energy.

When atoms releases energy, electrons move into lower energy levels.  The electrons in the shells aways from the nucleus have more energy as compared to the electrons in the nearer shells.

Electrons with the lowest energy are found closest to the nucleus, where the attractive force of the positively charged nucleus is the greatest. Electrons that have higher energy are found further away
