Answer:

A. They trap energy in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are defined as gases that absorb and emit radiation within the infrared range. These gases allow the sun’s rays to pass through the ozone layer and warm the earth, but prevent this warmth from escaping atmosphere.

Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect on planets. Examples of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone etc.

Alona [7]

Answer:

F'= 4F/9

Explanation:

Two small objects each with a net charge of +Q exert a force of magnitude F on each other. If r is the distance between them, then the force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}$ ...(1)

Now, if one of the objects with another whose net charge is + 4Q is replaced and also the distance between +Q and +4Q charges is increased 3 times as far apart as they were. New force is given by :

$F'=\dfrac{kQ\times 4Q}{(3r)^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{4kQ^2}{9r^2}$ .....(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

$\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}}{\dfrac{4kQ^2}{9r^2}}\\\\\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}\times \dfrac{9r^2}{4kQ^2}\\\\\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\F'=\dfrac{4F}{9}$

Hence, the correct option is (d) i.e. " 4F/9"

How does the density of most metals compare to most non metals?

Neko [114]

Harder. Not compressible(unless using an extremely strong force). Non-metal have more of a chance of breaking than metals.

Two clouds collide and form another, more massive cloud. One cloud is stationary, while the other is traveling at 1 m/s. After t

sweet [91]

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given

One cloud is traveling at rate of $u_2=1\ m/s$

combined velocity of the two is $v=0.25\ m/s$

Suppose the masses of the clouds be $m_1,m_2$

Conserving momentum

$\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=\left(m_1+m_2\right)v\\\text{Divide whole equation by }m_2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}u_1+u_2=\left(\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+1\right)v\\\\\Rightarrow 0+1=0.25\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+0.25\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{0.75}{0.25}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=3$
