In a conversation with a friend, he expresses skepticism about global warning. When you inquire about his reasons, he responds b

y saying that the weather in that area has been the coolest he can remember. Using the information you have learned, what information could you offer to encourage your friend to reevaluate his position?

Answer:

Explanation:

A friend observes only the weather which is different than climate. Weather refers to short term change in the atmosphere while climate refers to what weather is like over a while in a specific area.

The weather may change when we move from one area to another. Cooler weather does not mean that the climate is cooler.

Global warming is the increase in average temperature globally due to which heat is increasing but it does not imply that temperature is hotter everywhere.

How do i find stretch? The problem in questioning has already given me the elastic energy and k-value, but I have no idea how to
finlep [7]

Answer:

Stretch can be obtained using the Elastic potential energy formula.

The expression to find the stretch (x) is x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}

Explanation:

Given:

Elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring mass system and the spring constant (k) are given.

To find: Elongation in the spring (x).

We can find the elongation or stretch of the spring using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy (EPE).

The formula to find EPE is given as:

EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

Rewriting the above expression in terms of 'x', we get:

x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}

Example:

If EPE = 100 J and spring constant, k = 2 N/m.

Elongation or stretch is given as:

x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 100}{2}}\\\\x=\sqrt{100}=10\ m

Therefore, the stretch in the spring is 10 m.

So, stretch in the spring can be calculated using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy.

I which types of galaxy are globular clusters most likely to be found?
NemiM [27]
Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and relatively high stellar densities toward their centers. The name of this category of star cluster is derived from the Latin globulus—a small sphere.

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez
katrin [286]

Answer:

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

Explanation:

pressure P  = E/c

Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light

c= speed of light  = 3×10^8 m/s

P = 1000/ 3×10^8

P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa

Force F = P×A

  • P is the pressure and c= speed of light

F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)

= 2.22×10^{-6}

acceleration a  = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

The presently accepted value of the hubble constant gives an age of
koban [17]

Answer:

14 billion years

Explanation:

The Hubble – Lemaître law, previously called the Hubble law, is a law of physics that states that the redshift of a galaxy is proportional to the distance it is, which is the same as, the further one galaxy is found from another, more quickly it seems to move away from it.

The Hubble constant is the value that measures the rate at which the expansion speed of the Universe varies with distance, and is one of the fundamental parameters of the Universe and allows, in particular, to determine the age of the Universe as we will see.
