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.

An 92-kg football player traveling 5.0m/s in stopped in 10s by a tackler. What is the original kinetic energy of the player? Exp

Artemon [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the football player, m = 92 kg

Velocity of player, v = 5 m/s

Time taken, t = 10 s

(1) We need to find the original kinetic energy of the player. It is given by :

$k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$k=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2$

k = 1150 J

In two significant figure, $k=1.2\times 10^3\ J$

(2) We know that work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Work done per unit time is called power of the player. We need to find the average power required to stop him. So, his final velocity v = 0

i.e. $P=\dfrac{W}{t}=\dfrac{\Delta K}{t}$
