We humans are on track to increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere so that the concentration in the future more than double

the atmospheric CO2 concentration that existed for the few millennia before the industrial revolution. If we could cause just a doubling and then hold the CO2 level constant at that doubled level for the next thousand years, we very likely would see:

Answer:

Rapid increase in the temperature of the earth.

Explanation:

CO2 is known as a greenhouse gas. It is able to trap and retain infrared radiation in the earths atmosphere thereby causing a gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. If this doubled concentration of CO2 is sustained over a long period of time, it will eventually lead to melting of polar ice caps and consequent flooding. Gradually, the earth would be destroyed due to the scorching heat and attendant flood.

In the system illustrated by the diagram, the magnetic field is increasing. In which
Black_prince [1.1K]

The emf will be induced in anti-clockwise direction.

<u>Explanation</u>

Lenz's law tells us the direction us the direction that the current will flow. It states that the direction is always such that it will oppose the change in flux which produced it. This means that any magnetic field produced by an induced current will be in opposite direction to the change in the original field.

To find the direction of emf, Stretch the forefinger, middle finger and the thumb of the right hand mutually perpendicular to each other. If the force finger points in the direction of the magnetic field, the thumb gives the direction of the motion of the conductor then the middle finger gives the direction of the induced current.

Which statement correctly describes why a compound is a pure substance?
ad-work [718]

Explanation:

A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.

A 52 N sled is pulled across a cement sidewalk at constant speed. A horizontal force of 36 N is exerted. What is the coefficient
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

μ = 0.692

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.

Attached is an image with the respective forces:

A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.

Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.

The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.

The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.

A biker first accelerates from 0.0 m/s to 6.0 m/s in 6 s, then continues at this speed for 5 s. What is the total distance trave
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

48m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Final velocity = 6m/s

Time, t = 6 secs

Time, T2 = 5 secs

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

Substituting into the equation;

a = \frac{6 - 0}{6}

a = \frac{6}{6}

Acceleration, a = 1m/s²

<u>To find the distance covered in the first phase;</u>

<em>Solving for distance, we would use the second equation of motion;</em>

S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}

<em>Substituting the values into the equation;</em>

S = 0(6) + \frac {1}{2}*1*(6)^{2}

S = 0 + \frac {1}{2}*1*36

S = 0.5 *36

Distance, S1 = 18m

<u>For the second phase, time T2 = 5 secs;</u>

<em>Mathematically, speed is given by the equation;</em>

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

<em>Making distance the subject of formula, we have;</em>

Distance, S = speed * time

<em>Substituting into the above equation;</em>

Distance, S = 6 * 5

Distance, S2 = 30m

Total distance = S1 + S2 = 18m + 30m = 48m

Total distance = 48m

<em>Therefore, the total distance traveled by the biker is 48m.</em>

A hot-air balloon is rising upward with a constant speed of 2.85 m/s. When the balloon is 2.50 m above the ground, the balloonis
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You have to declare which way is plus -- up or down. I will use down.

vi = - 2.85       The balloon is going up. That is the minus direction.

a = 9.81

d =   2.50 meters  distance in this case is from the object to the ground.

d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2

-2.50 = -2.85*t + 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

-2.50 = -2.85*t + 4.905 * t^2           transfer the left to the right.

-4.905 t^2 + 2.85*t + 2.50 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve for t.

It turns out that t = 1.06
