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.
The period of the pendulum doesn't determine the length of the string.
It's the other way around.
The period of the pendulum is proportional to the square root of its length.
So if you want to triple the period, you have to make the string nine times
as long as it is now.
Complete question is:
A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coast in neutral so as to just reach the top of the 150 m high hill at B with vB = 0 m/s. Neglect friction.
Answer:
(V_A) = 31.32 m/s
Explanation:
We are given;
car's mass, m = 1200 kg
h_A = 100 m
h_B = 150 m
v_B = 0 m/s
From law of conservation of energy,
the distance from point A to B is;
h = 150m - 100 m = 50 m
From Newton's equations of motion;
v² = u² + 2gh
Thus;
(V_B)² = (V_A)² + (-2gh)
(negative next to g because it's going against gravity)
Thus;
(V_B)² = (V_A)² - (2gh)
Plugging in the relevant values;
0² = (V_A)² - 2(9.81 × 50)
(V_A) = √981
(V_A) = 31.32 m/s
Answer:
1.It's the world's most famous equation, but what does it really mean? "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing.
2.The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei.
3.In nuclear reactions, mass is never conserved—some mass is exchanged for energy and energy for mass. Nuclear reactions take place in an atom's nucleus. In a spontaneous nuclear reaction, such as radioactive decay, mass is "lost" and appears as energy in the form of particles or gamma rays.
4.In a nuclear reaction, mass decreases and energy increases. The sum of mass and energy is always conserved in a nuclear reaction.
5.The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei.
