The melting of polar ice is one effect of the greenhouse effect, or also global warming.

The greenhouse effect, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is "the <span>warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet (as Earth or Venus) that is caused by conversion of solar radiation into heat in a process involving selective transmission of short wave solar radiation by the atmosphere, its absorption by the planet's surface, and reradiation as infrared which is absorbed and partly reradiated back to the surface by atmospheric gases".

In short, "</span>the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet".

Alpha particles, each having a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 ×10-27 kg, are accelerated in a uniform 0.50 T magnetic field to

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$KE=1.2036\times 10^{-12}\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

charge on the alpha particle, $q=2e=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C$

mass of the alpha particle, $m=6.64\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

strength of a uniform magnetic field, $B=0.5\ T$

radius of the final orbit, $r=0.5\ m$

<u>During the motion of a charge the magnetic force and the centripetal forces are balanced:</u>

$q.v.B=m.\frac{v^2}{r}$

$m.v=q.B.r$

where:

v = velocity of the alpha particle

$v=\frac{q.B.r}{m}$

$v=\frac{3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 0.5\times 0.5}{6.64\times 10^{-27}}$

$v=1.2048\times 10^{7}\ m.s^{-1}$

Here we observe that the velocity of the aprticle is close to the velocity of light. So the kinetic energy will be relativistic.

<u>We firstly find the relativistic mass as:</u>

$m'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } } \times m$

$m'=\frac{6.64\times 10^{-27}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(1.2048\times 10^7)^2}{(3\times 10^8)^2} } }$

$m'=6.6533\times10^{-27}\ kg$

now kinetic energy:

$KE=m'.c-m.c$

$KE=6.6533\times 10^{-27}\times (3\times 10^8)^2-6.64\times 10^{-27}\times (3\times 10^8)^2$

$KE=1.2036\times 10^{-12}\ J$

As part of his work for NASA, Dr. Murdock was asked to find out what percentage of people in the continental united States saw H

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Please, in the Explanation section you will find the explanation of the answer.

Explanation:

The exercise shows the continental United States and 3 cities used in the study carried out by Murdock. It can be said that the sample taken is part of the objective. There are several inconsistencies in Murdock's argument: the first has to do with the fact that the sample that was taken cannot represent the entire American population. A much larger, scientifically calculated sample would be required. The second is that their study did not take into account small cities or people living in the interior of the United States.

A sinusoidal wave is traveling along a rope. The oscillator that generates the wave completes 40.0 vibrations in 30.0s . A given

Phantasy [73]

From the solution that I have done, the wavelength in the question that we have is 31.88 cm

<h3>How to solve for the wavelength</h3>

The frequency in the question is given as 40/30 = 1.33 hz

Next we have to solve for V

= 425/10

= 42.5 cm/s

v = frequency * wavelength

we have to put in the values in the formula. This would be

42.5 = 1.33 x wavelength

we have to divide through by 1.33 to get the wavelength. This would be

42.5/1.333 = wavelength

31.88 cm = wavelength

Hence we can say that the wavelength in the question that we have here is 31.88 cm
