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.

How much time would Simpson save by increasing his average velocity to 26m/s East?

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

8 minutes

Explanation:

Part of the question is missing. Complete question is:

<em>Simpson drives his car 144 km with an average velocity of 24 m/s toward the east. How much time would Simpson save by increasing his average velocity to 26m/s East?</em>

Solution:

First of all, we have to calculate the time it takes for Simpson to complete the drive moving at the initial velocity, 24 m/s. We can use the formula:

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

where

$d=144 km = 1.44\cdot 10^5 m$ is the displacement

$v=24 m/s$ is the velocity

Substituting,

$t=\frac{1.44\cdot 10^5}{24}=6000 s = 100 min$

While driving at 26 m/s, the time taken will be

$t=\frac{1.44\cdot 10^5}{26}=5538 s=92 min$

So, Simpson will save 8 minutes.

Un vas plin cu lichid cântăreşte 175kg. Ceea ce reprezintă de 5 ori masa vasului gol. Ştiind că volumul interior al vasului este

Mariana [72]

a) Density of the liquid: $823.5kg/m^3$

b) Weight of the liquid: 1372 N

Explanation:

Translation of the text:

<em>"A full tank with liquid weighs 175kg. Which is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel. Knowing that the inside volume of the vessel is 0.17kl, calculate: </em>

<em>a) the density of the liquid; </em>

<em>b) the weight of the liquid."</em>

We know that the full tank with liquid has a total mass of M = 175 kg. We can write the total mass as

$M=m_L + m_V$ (1)

where

$m_L$ is the mass of the liquid

$m_V$ is the mass of the vessel

We also know that the total mass M is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel, so we have:

$M=5m_V\\m_V=\frac{M}{5}=\frac{175}{5}=35 kg$

which is the mass of the empty vessel.

Therefore, we can find the mass of the liquid only using (1):

$m_L=M-m_V=175-35=140 kg$

The density of the liquid is given by

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where

m = 140 kg (mass of the liquid)

V = 0.170 kL = 170 L = $0.170 m^3$ (volume of the liquid, which is equal to the volume of the vessel)

So we get

$d=\frac{140}{0.170}=823.5kg/m^3$

The weight of a body is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is its mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the liquid in this problem, we have

m = 140 kg (mass)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore, its weight is

$F=(140)(9.8)=1372 N$

What is the role of gravity when it comes to changing the velocity of objects?

Alex787 [66]

Gravity is the attraction of every body to every other body due to the masses of each body. The larger the mass, the greater the force. It also depends on the distances: the closer the bodies, the greater the force. Gravity is directed toward the center of a body, and the distance is measured from the center.

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

A red blood cell is 7 x 10-6 m in size. This means it is 7 __________ in size. What unit completes the sentence?

aalyn [17]

If a red blood cell is 7 x $10^-^6$ m in size, it means that such a cell is 7 microns or micrometer in size. The unit that completes the sentence will, thus, be microns or micrometer.

According to international system of measurement:

$10^{-1}$ m = decimeter

$10^{-2}$ m = centimeter

$10^{-3}$ m = millimeter
$10^{-6}$ m = micrometer or micron
$10^{-9}$ m = nanometer

Thus, a measurement of 7 x $10^-^6$ m is the same is 7 micons or 7 micrometer.
