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

Physics

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.

If a skier travels at a constant velocity downhill, this means the forces on her are: ................. A. Zero B. Negligible C.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

F = 0

Explanation:

The net force acting on an object is given by the product of mass and acceleration. We know that acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity.

Net force,

F = ma

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}

The skier is traveling at a constant velocity, it means there is no change in velocity i.e. acceleration is equal to 0. Hence, the force on her is 0.

If the car has a mass of 1,000 kilograms, what is its momentum? (v = 35 m/s).
patriot [66]

Answer:

35000 N

Explanation:

The equation for momentum is

p = m v

Where:

p = momentum

m = mass of object in kg

v = velocity of object

By simply plugging in the numbers into the equation:

1000kg x 35 m/s

You get

35000  N
