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".

The power of is series combination is Vn^2 times that of a parallel combination.

For series combination :

Req = R + R + R + ............... n times = nR

I = Δv/nr

Power = (Δv/nr)^2 × nr = Δv^2/nr

For parallel combination

1/req = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R +................(n times) = n/R

Req = R/n

Power = Δv/(R/n) = nΔv^2/R

Ratio = Δv^2/nr/n·Δv^2/R = 1/n^2

Hence, power of is series combination is Vn^2 times that of a parallel.

A spherical weather balloon is filled with hydrogen until its radius is 4.40 m. Its total mass including the instruments it carr

ipn [44]

Answer:

4515.49484 N

4329.10484 N

Explanation:

r = Radius of balloon = 4.4 m

m = Mass of balloon with instruments = 19 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Volume of balloon

$v=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{4}{3}\pi 4.4^3\\\Rightarrow v=356.8179\ m^3$

The Buoyant force = Weight of the air displaced

$F=\rho vg\\\Rightarrow F=1.29\times 356.8179\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=4515.49484\ N$

The buoyant force acting on the balloon is 4515.49484 N

Net force on the balloon

$F_n=F-W\\\Rightarrow F_n=4515.49484-19\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=4329.10484\ N$

The net force on the balloon is given by 4329.10484 N

As the balloon goes up the pressure outside reduces as the density of air decreases while the air pressure inside the balloon is high hence, the radius of the balloon tend to increase as it rises to higher altitude.

PLAESE ANSWER FAST!!!!! MAKE SURE IT"S RIGHT

pychu [463]

(if you have Q1: Carbon is found in: living animals and plants, oceans, rocks, atmosphere, and fossil fuels)

Q2: Humans are burning carbon and putting it into the atmosphere.

Q3: True

Q4: While carbon dioxide is in the air waiting to be reabsorbed it traps the sun's heat.

(and if you have Q5: In the last 250 years, the amount of carbon in the air has increased by 40 percent.)
