The greenhouse effect is a warming effect caused by certain gases that retain heat from sunlight. Without such gases, the average surface temperature of the Earth would be below freezing, and as explained by the Encyclopedia of Environmental Science, “life, as we know it, would not exist.” 
<span>
 The global warming debate is centered upon whether added greenhouse gases released by human activity will overheat the Earth and cause harmful effects.</span><span>

you travel 4.0km east, 4.0km north, then 5.0km at 53.1 degrees north of west in a total of 5 hours. What is the magnitude and di
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall convert all the displacement in vector form .

i and j represents east and north respectively .

D₁ = 4 i

D₂ = 4 j

D₃ = - 5 cos 53.1 i + 5 sin 53.1 j

= -3i + 4 j

Total displacement = D₁ + D₂ + D₃

= 4i + 4 j - 3i + 4 j

= i + 8j

magnitude of displacement = √( 1² + 8² )

= 8.06 km

velocity = 8.06 / 5

= 1.61 km / h

Direction from x axis in anticlockwise direction .

Tanθ =  8 / 1 = 8

θ = 83° north of east .

Which of the following statements are true concerning the reflection of light?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

b. The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.

c. The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.

Explanation:

a. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection only when a ray of light strikes a plane mirror.

This is wrong: Based on law of reflection "The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when light strikes any plane surface" examples plane mirrors, still waters, plane tables, etc

b. The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.

This is correct

c. The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.

This is correct

d. For diffuse reflection, the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection.

This is wrong: the angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection. The only difference between this type of reflection and specular reflection, is that the normal for diffuse reflection is not parallel to each due to the rough surface in which the light incidents.

For specular reflection, the angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection.

This is wrong: the angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection
