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.

In what way would a digital thermometer be preferable to those from a liquid-based thermometer?

garik1379 [7]

Reading a digital thermometer is more preferable because you can just easily read the measurement from a screen, a number will just show in a screen as compared to a liquid-based thermometer where you still have to read the measurement by counting the markers in the thermometer. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!

A man does 4,475 J of work in the process of pushing his 2.50 103 kg truck from rest to a speed of v, over a distance of 26.0 m.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

a) 1.89 m/s b) 172.1 N

Explanation:

Applying the work-energy theorem, if we can neglect the friction between truck and road, the total change in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the external forces.
This work, is just 4,475 J.
So we can write the following equation:

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2} = 4,475 J$

where m= mass of the truck = 2.5*10³ kg.
So, we can find the speed v, as follows:

$v =\sqrt{\frac{2*W}{m}} =\sqrt{\frac{2*4,475J}{2.5e3kg} } = 1.89 m/s$

The work done by the man, is just the horizontal force applied, times the displacement produced by the force horizontally:

$W = F*d$

We can solve for F, as follows:

$F = \frac{W}{d} = \frac{4,475 J}{26.0m} = 172.1 N$

The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?

AlladinOne [14]

The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!

What does the magnitude of centripetal acceleration depend on ?

MariettaO [177]

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration ac is the acceleration experienced while in uniform circular motion. It always points toward the center of rotation. It is perpendicular to the linear velocity v and has the magnitude ac=v2r;ac=rω2 a c = v 2 r ; a c = r ω 2 .

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1f + m2f)vf. 3000kg(10.0m/s) + (15000kg)(0.0m/s) = (18000kg)(vf).
