A ball is dropped from an upper floor, some unknown distance above your apartment. As you look out of your window, which is 1.50

m tall, you observe that it takes the ball 0.210 s to traverse the length of the window. 1)Determine how high above the top of your window the ball was dropped. Ignore the effects of air resistance. (Express your answer to three significant figures.)

Answer:1.902 m

Explanation:

Given

height of apartment=1.5 m

It takes 0.21 sec to reach the bottom from apartment

So

s=u_1t+\frac{gt^2}{2}

1.5=u_1\times 0.21+\frac{9.81\times 0.21^2}{2}

u_1=6.11 m/s

i.e. if ball is dropped from top its velocity at window is 6.11 m/s

So height of upper floor above window

v^2-u^2=2as

where s= height of upper floor above window

here u=0

6.11^2=2\times 9.81\times s

s=\frac{6.11^2}{2\times 9.81}

s=1.902 m

3) If an airplane is in flight cruising at constant velocity, what can be said about the net work
Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

<h2>Yes!</h2>

<h3>In physics, constant velocity occurs when there is no net force acting on the object causing it to accelerate. In terms of airplane flight, the two main forces influencing its velocity forward are drag and thrust. At a constant altitude, when the force of thrust equals the opposing force of drag, then the airplane will experience uniform motion in one direction. This can be further explained by Newton’s First Law. </h3>

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.
