Why does th ground and atmosphere get warm during the day

Physics
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The Greenhouse Effect Revisited. When solar energy strikes the planet during the day, the ground, highways and other objects get hot and absorb that energy. As the sun goes down, the Earth cools by giving off infrared radiation. Because greenhouse gases absorb part of this radiation, the atmosphere warms and keeps the Earth from getting too cold.

A space vehicle is traveling at 2980 km/h relative to Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward. The
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

3054.4 km/h

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum

momentum before separation = 5M × 2980 Km/h where M represent the mass of the module while 4 M represent the mass of the motor

initial momentum = 14900 M km/h

let v be the new speed of the motor so that the

new momentum = 4Mv and the new momentum of the module  = M ( v + 94 km/h )

total momentum = 4Mv + Mv + 93 M = 5 Mv + 93M

initial momentum = final momentum

14900 M km/h = 5 Mv + 93M

14900 km/h = 5v + 93

14900 - 93 = 5v

v = 2961.4 km/h

the speed of the module = 2961.4 + 93 = 3054.4 km/h

A pump is used to transport water to a higher reservoir. if the water temperature is 15ºc, determine the lowest pressure that ca
Reika [66]
Normally, the water pressure inside a pump is higher than the vapor pressure: in this case, at the interface between the liquid and the vapor, molecules from the liquid escapes into vapour form. Instead, when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure, molecules of vapour can go inside the water forming bubbles: this phenomenon is called cavitation. 

So, cavitation occurs when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure. In our problem, vapour pressure at 15^{\circ} is 1.706 kPa. Therefore, the lowest pressure that can exist in the pump without cavitation, at this temperature, is exactly this value: 1.706 kPa.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

1. False

2. Fats

3. False

Explanation:

MyPlate is an initiative from the United States Department of Agriculture that is designed to help Americans improve their eating habits throughout their lifetimes. Every meal matters. The five food groups represented in My Plate include vegetables, grain, dairy, protein foods, and fruits.

Calories are a source of energy for the human body. So, the more active a person is, the more energy he would need to be supplied to him in form of calories. The less active a person is, the fewer calories he would need.
