Why does increasing the amount a greenhouse gas increase the temperature of a planet?

2 answers:

8 0

Greenhouse gass effects the increase of temperatures on Earth, which means plant temperature rises as well. the reason for the rise in temp. is due to the fact that the gass acts as a wall that doesn't allow heat to go through. So when greenhouse gass is applied to a plant the gas doesn't let the heat go through therefore raising the temperature.

Green houses gases like CO2, water vapour and methane, these gases traps heat in its structure, this is same like glass house in which infrared waves can only enter but after entering the waves will become polarisezed it will prevent waves going out and hence increrasing the temperature

According to the formula for stopping distance, how many feet will it take you to stop, from 60 mph?

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

534 ft

Explanation:

given,

speed of the vehicle = 60 mph

1 mph = 0.447 m/s

60 mph = 60 x 0.447 = 26.82 m/s

stopping distance = ?

Stopping distance of the car is equal to the distance traveled in the reaction time and the braking distance.

Reaction time of a common person = 1.5 s

taking coefficient of friction of the road = 0.3

using equation of stopping sight distance

S.D = RD + BD

RD is Reaction distance

RD = v t_r

RD = 26.82 x 1.5

RD = 40.23 m

BD is the braking distance

$BD = \dfrac{v^2}{2\mu g}$

$BD = \dfrac{26.82^2}{2\times 0.3\times 9.8}$

BD = 122.33 m

Stopping sight distance

SD = 40.23 + 122.33

SD = 162.56 m

1 m = 3.28 ft

162.56 m = 162.56 x 3.28

= 533.20 ft ≈ 534 ft

hence, the stopping distance will be equal to 534 ft

What's the process?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Falling objects form an interesting class of motion problems. For example, we can estimate the depth of a vertical mine shaft by dropping a rock into it and listening for the rock to hit the bottom. By applying the kinematics developed so far to falling objects, we can examine some interesting situations and learn much about gravity in the process.
