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.

A car moving with an initial speed of 25 m/s slows down to a speed of 5 m/s in 10 seconds Calculate a) the acceleration of the c

stealth61 [152]

Answer :

(a) The acceleration of the car is, $-2m/s^2$

(b) The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

Explanation :

By the 1st equation of motion,

$v=u+at$ ...........(1)

where,

v = final velocity = 5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration of the car = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation 1, we get:

$5m/s=25m/s+a\times (10s)$

$a=-2m/s^2$

The acceleration of the car is, $-2m/s^2$

By the 2nd equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ ...........(2)

where,

s = distance covered by the car = ?

u = initial velocity = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration of the car = $-2m/s^2$

Now put all the given values in the above equation 2, we get:

$s=(25m/s)\times (10s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-2m/s^2)\times (10s)^2$

By solving the term, we get:

$s=150m$

The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

If a spring has a spring constant of 5 N/m and it is stretched 20 cm, what is the force of the Spring

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

First the equation is momentum = Force / distance

20 cm = 0.2 m

5 N/m = F / 0.2 m

F = 1 N

Marcus tells Sabrina that for the last few months, he has not been able to detect moderate heat or cold with his fingertips. Whi

hram777 [196]

Answer: The free ending nerves.

Explanation:

At our fingertips, we have a lot of sensory nerve endings, that give information about changes that occur at your skin.

Like touching something with a given texture, feeling pain, or noticing changes in temperature.

There are different types of nerve endings, particularly the ones responsible to detect pain, and temperature are the free nerve endings.

So Marcus may have the free nerve endings damaged.

Which kind of pigment reflects two primary light colors and absorbs one?1) primary pigment2) secondary pigment3) complementary p

weqwewe [10]

The primary colors of light are red, blue and green.

There are the pigments like yellow, magenta and cyan that are the mixture of two primary colors.

For example, magenta is a mixture of red and blue color. Thus, it reflects the red and blue color. Also, magneta absorbs the green color.

These type of colors that reflects two primary colors and absorb one color are known as secondary pigments.

Hence, 2nd option is the correct answer.
