How does carbon dioxide affect the atmosphere

Physics
1 answer:
stira [4]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas... An increase in the amount of carbon dioxide creates an overabundance of greenhouse gases that trap additional heat. This trapped heat leads to melting ice caps and rising ocean levels, which cause flooding.

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river,
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

t=40s,

Explanation:

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river, if the water flows downstream at a rate of 1.5m/s, is most nearly:

from the question the swimmer will have a velocity which is equal to the sum of the speed of the water and the velocity to swi across the bank

Vt=v1+v2

the time is takes to swim across the bank will be

DY=Dv*t

DY=distance across the bank

Dv=ther velocity of the swimmer across the bank

t=20/ 0.5m/s,

t=40s, time it takes to swim across the bank

velocity is the rate of displacement

displacement is distance covered in a specific direction

Two long, straight wires are parallel and 26 cm apart.
mezya [45]

Answer: 2.49×10^-3 N/m

Explanation: The force per unit length that two wires exerts on each other is defined by the formula below

F/L = (u×i1×i2) / (2πr)

Where F/L = force per meter

u = permeability of free space = 1.256×10^-6 mkg/s^2A^2

i1 = current on first wire = 57A

i2 = current on second wire = 57 A

r = distance between both wires = 26cm = 0.26m

By substituting the parameters, we have that

Force per meter = (1.256×10^-6×57×57)/ 2×3.142 ×0.26

= 4080.744×10^-6/ 1.634

= 4.080×10^-3 / 1.634

= 2.49×10^-3 N/m

A light source of wavelength λ illuminates a metal with a work function (a.k.a., binding energy) of BE=2.00 eV and ejects electr
slega [8]
<h2>Answer: 1.011 eV</h2>

Explanation:

The described situation is the photoelectric effect, which consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) that occurs when light falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.  

If we consider the light as a stream of photons and each of them has energy, this energy is able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a <u>kinetic energy. </u>

This is what Einstein proposed:  

Light behaves like a stream of particles called photons with an energy  E:

E=h.f (1)  

So, the energy E of the incident photon must be equal to the sum of the Work function \Phi of the metal and the kinetic energy K of the photoelectron:  

E=\Phi+K (2)  

Where \Phi is the <u>minimum amount of energy required to induce the photoemission of electrons from the surface of a metal, and </u><u>its value depends on the metal.  </u>

In this case \Phi=2eV  and K_{1}=4eV

So, for the first light source of wavelength \lambda_{1}, and  applying equation (2) we have:

E_{1}=2eV+4eV   (3)  

E_{1}=6eV   (4)  

Now, substituting (1) in (4):  

h.f=6eV (5)  

Where:  

h=4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s is the Planck constant

f is the frequency  

Now, the <u>frequency has an inverse relation with the wavelength </u>

\lambda_{1}:  

f=\frac{c}{\lambda_{1}} (6)  

Where c=3(10)^{8}m/s is the speed of light in vacuum  

Substituting (6) in (5):  

\frac{hc}{\lambda_{1}}=6eV (7)  

Then finding \lambda_{1}:  

\lambda_{1}=\frac{hc}{6eV } (8)  

\lambda_{1}=\frac{(4.136(10)^{-15} eV.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{6eV}  

We obtain the wavelength of the first light suorce \lambda_{1}:  

\lambda_{1}=2.06(10)^{-7}m   (9)

Now, we are told the second light source \lambda_{2}  has the double the wavelength of the first:

\lambda_{2}=2\lambda_{1}=(2)(2.06(10)^{-7}m)   (10)

Then: \lambda_{2}=4.12(10)^{-7}m   (11)

Knowing this value we can find E_{2}:

E_{2}=\frac{hc}{\lambda_{2}}   (12)

E_{2}=\frac{(4.136(10)^{-15} eV.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{4.12(10)^{-7}m}   (12)

E_{2}=3.011eV   (13)

Knowing the value of E_{2} and \lambda_{2}, and knowing we are working with the same work function, we can finally find the maximum kinetic energy K_{2} for this wavelength:

E_{2}=\Phi+K_{2} (14)  

K_{2}=E_{2}-\Phi (15)  

K_{2}=3.011eV-2eV  

K_{2}=1.011 eV  This is the maximum kinetic energy for the second light source

Why exercise is wise?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Exercise helps people lose weight and lower the risk of some diseases. Exercising regularly lowers a person's risk of developing some diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. Exercise also can help keep your body at a healthy weight. Exercise can help a person age well.
