What is a major contributor of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

Physics
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a. burning of fossil fuel

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun infrared rays in the outermost layer of the earths atmosphere due to the accumulation of some harmful gasses. This gases depletes the ozone layer

The major contributor of greenhouse gases is the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxides are released into the atmosphere and leads to global warming and climatic changes per time

mestny [16]

Answer:

the block reaches higher than the sphere

\frac{y_{sphere}} {y_block} = 5/7

Explanation:

We are going to solve this interesting problem

A) in this case a sphere rolls on the ramp, let's find the speed of the center of mass at the exit of the ramp

Let's use the concept of conservation of energy

starting point. At the top of the ramp

         Em₀ = U = m g y₁

final point. At the exit of the ramp

         Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂

notice that we include the translational and rotational energy, we assume that the height of the exit ramp is y₂

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

         m g y₁ = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂

angular and linear velocity are related

        v = w r

the moment of inertia of a sphere is

         I = \frac{2}{5} m r²

we substitute

         m g (y₁ - y₂) = ½ m v² + ½ (\frac{2}{5} m r²) (\frac{v}{r})²

         m g h = ½ m v² (1 + \frac{2}{5})

where h is the difference in height between the two sides of the ramp

h = y₂ -y₁

         mg h = \frac{7}{5} (\frac{1}{2} m v²)

         v = √5/7  √2gh

This is the exit velocity of the vertical movement of the sphere

         v_sphere = 0.845 √2gh

B) is the same case, but for a box without friction

   starting point

          Em₀ = U = mg y₁

   final point

          Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + m g y₂

          Em₀ = Em_f

          mg y₁ = ½ m v² + m g y₂

          m g (y₁ -y₂) = ½ m v²

          v = √2gh

this is the speed of the box

          v_box = √2gh

to know which body reaches higher in the air we can use the kinematic relations

          v² = v₀² - 2 g y

at the highest point v = 0

           y = vo₀²/ 2g

for the sphere

           y_sphere = 5/7 2gh / 2g

           y_esfera = 5/7 h

for the block

           y_block = 2gh / 2g

            y_block = h

       

therefore the block reaches higher than the sphere

         \frac{y_{sphere}} {y_bolck} = 5/7

Institutions that anticipate and recognize significant external forces and modify their strategies and operations will prosper a
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:True

Explanation: External factors are factors outside of an organisation or an institution that has the capacity of either adversely or positively affect the institution or the Organisation.

For an institution to prosper and perform optimally in an economy.or a country, such Institution must put into cognisance the possible external threats that are capable of affecting it, when Organisations or Institution put strategies in place to control or mitigate such externalities,the institution or Organisation will sure Prosper.

A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result
Virty [35]

Hello!

A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result? A) law of differential mass B) law of conservation of momentum C) law of unequal forces D) law of accelerated collision

We have the following data¹:

ΔP (momentum before impact) = ?  

mA (mass) = 10 kg

vA (velocity) = 5 m/s

mB (mass) = 5 kg

vB (velocity) = 0 m/s

Solving:

ΔP = mA*vA + mB*vB

ΔP = 10 kg*5 m/s + 5 kg*0 m/s

ΔP = 50 kg*m/s + 0 kg*m/s

Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum before impact)

We have the following data²:

ΔP (momentum after impact) = ?  

mA (mass) = 10 kg

vA (velocity) = 0 m/s

mB (mass) = 5 kg

vB (velocity) = 10 m/s

Solving:

Δp = mA*vA + mB*vB

Δp = 10 kg*0 m/s + 5 kg*10 m/s

Δp = 0 kg*m/s + 50 kg*m/s

Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum after impact)

*** Then, which principle explains the result ?

Law of conservation of momentum, <u>since the total momentum of body A and B before impact is equal to the total momentum of body A and B after impact.</u>

Note:  Bodies of different masses and velocities may have the same kinetic energy, if proportionality between the units is maintained it can occur that they have the same kinetic energy.

Answer:

B) law of conservation of momentum
