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 isolated charged point particle produces an electric field with magnitude E at a point 2 m away. At a point 1 m from the part
guajiro [1.7K]

Explanation:

The electric field at a distance r from the charged particle is given by :

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}

k is electrostatic constant

if r = 2 m, electric field is given by :

E_1=\dfrac{kq}{(2)^2}\\\\=\dfrac{kq}{4}\ .....(1)

If r = 1 m, electric field is given by :

E_2=\dfrac{kq}{r_2^2}\\\\=\dfrac{kq}{1}\ ....(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2) we get :

\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kq}{4}}{kq}\\\\\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\E_2=4\times E_1

So, at a point 1 m from the particle, the electric field is 4 times of the electric field at a point 2 m.

A stationary 15 kg object is located in a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the su
Marta_Voda [28]

The net force acting on the object perpendicular to the table is

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg = 0

where mg is the weight of the object. Then

F[normal] = mg = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 147 N

The maximum magnitude of static friction is then

0.40 F[normal] = 58.8 N

which means the applied 40 N force is not enough to make the object start to move. So the object has zero acceleration and does not move.
