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".

A runner of mass 80 kg is moving at 8.0 m/s. Calculate her kinetic energy. ​
lana [24]

Answer:

2560J

Explanation:

By definition the kinetic energy can be calculated in the following way:

K = (mv²)/2 = 80kg·(8.0m/s)²/2 = 2560 J

What happens to balloon filled with air when it goes very high attitude from surface of earth why​
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The balloon will continue to expand and eventually burst.

Explanation:

Simply, the reason for this is because the density of the atmosphere decreases gradually as you increase in altitude closer to space. This means that the air on the outside of the balloon can't provide enough pressure over the surface of the balloon in order to counteract the gas on the inside of the balloon from expanding.

An airplane, starting from rest, moves down the runway at constant acceleration for 18 s and then takes off at a speed of 60 m/s
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a =3.33 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

initial speed of Plane, u = 0 m/s

final speed of plane, v = 60 m/s

time of the acceleration, t = 18 s

average acceleration of the plane, a = ?

average acceleration is equal to change in velocity per unit time.

a = \dfrac{v - u}{t}

a = \dfrac{60 - 0}{18}

a = \dfrac{60}{18}

     a =3.33 m/s²

Hence, average acceleration of the plane is equal to a =3.33 m/s²

un litro de un gas es calentado a presión constante desde 20°C hasta 60°C que volumen final ocupará dicho gas? ​
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Final volume, V2 = 3 Litres

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume, V1 = 1 litre

Initial temperature, T1 = 20°C

Final temperature, T2 = 60°C

To find the final volume, we would use Charles' law;

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;

V1T2 = V2T1

V2 = (V1T2)/T1

Substituting into the formula, we have;

V2 = (1 * 60)/20

V2 = 60/20

Final volume, V2 = 3 Litres
