Answer:

0.39 km west

Explanation:

The position of Runner A is:

x = -5.7 + 8.8 t

The position of Runner B is:

x = 4.2 − 7.6 t

When the positions are equal:

-5.7 + 8.8 t = 4.2 − 7.6 t

16.4 t = 9.9

t = 0.604

Plug into either equation to find the position at this time:

x = -5.7 + 8.8 (0.604)

x = -0.39

The runners are 0.39 km west of the flagpole when they meet.

This statement is true. The point located at the geometric center of an object is indeed called the object's center of gravity. Center of gravity is the average of the weight of a resultant of the parallel forces, including all the particles that is passing through its body.

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.

Wilma can mow a lawn in 80 minutes. Rocky can mow the same lawn in 120 minutes. Construct an equation that would allow you to de
xeze [42]

Answer:

t = 96 minutes

Explanation:

Time to mow 1 lawn by Wilma is 80 minutes

so work done in 1 minute by Wilma is given as

W_1 = \frac{1}{80}

Similarly Rocky mow same lawn in 120 minute

so work done in 1 minute by Rocky is given as

W_2 = \frac{1}{120}

now we know that they both worked by "t" time

so total work performed by them

W = \frac{t}{80} + \frac{t}{120}

they both mow 2 lawns then it is given as

2 = (\frac{1}{80} + \frac{1}{120})t

t = 96 minutes
