Mối quan hệ giữa quá trình nội lực và ngoại lực

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The importance of categorizing a force as being either internal or external is related to the ability of that type of force to change an object's total mechanical energy when it does work upon an object. When net work is done upon an object by an external force, the total mechanical energy (KE + PE) of that object is changed.

Explanation:

in vietamnise/

Tầm quan trọng của việc phân loại một lực là bên trong hoặc bên ngoài có liên quan đến khả năng của loại lực đó để thay đổi tổng năng lượng cơ học của một vật thể khi nó hoạt động trên một vật thể. Khi công việc ròng được thực hiện trên một đối tượng bởi một ngoại lực, tổng năng lượng cơ học (KE + PE) của đối tượng đó được thay đổi.

1. Which occurrence is not characteristic of global warming? (1 point)

USPshnik [31]

1. An occurrence that is not a characteristic of global warming is;

B. Stabilization in the sea level due to warm weather

A warming climate can cause seawater to expand and ice over land to melt, both of which can cause a rise in sea level.

2. A non-impact of global warming on ecosystem is;

D. Food and supplies increase

Climate change not only affects ecosystems and species directly

3. A factor that contributes to the strength of hurricanes is;

A. Warmer ocean temperatures

Hurricanes start simply with the evaporation of warm seawater, which pumps water into the lower atmosphere. Once hurricanes move over cold water or over land and lose touch with the hot water that powers them, these storms weaken and break apart.

4. A practice that does not protect the environment is;

D. Frequent usage of a SUV

Car pollution is one of the many major causes of global warming. Cars and trucks emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which contribute one-fifth of the United States' total global warming pollution.

5. A vehicle that is most likely to be fuel efficient is the;

D. Gas-electric hybrid car

Hybrids are the most gasoline efficient of all cars

6. Scientists predict that global warming will cause Ethiopia to experience;

D. Greater frequency of drought-related conditions

The environment is directly impacted by drought. Drought can affect water sources, land, fish and wildlife and plant communities. A lack of water and reduced ability for soil to support crops can affect fish, animals and plant life.

7. A majority of the greenhouse-gas emissions released into the;

C. Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide (CO2) makes up the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions from the sector.

8. The main human activity that contributes to global warming is;

E. Burning of fossil fuels

The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the largest source of emissions of carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases that allows radioactive forcing and contributes to global warming.

9. A statement that is true regarding where pollution is most evident is;

A. Areas with a high population density

As people age, their bodies are less able to compensate for the effects of environmental hazards.

10. A human activity that would best support global efforts to improve the environment and to reduce global warming is;

B. Riding a bicycle to a nearby playground

Riding a bike provides a fairly fast and dependable mode of transportation that just happens to save money, getting fit and helping to reduce global warming.

A playa is a(n) __________. a. natural lake that is dry for long periods of time b. underground water reserve c. man-made freshw

Gre4nikov [31]

The correct option is a. natural lake that is dry for long periods of time.

<h3>What is playa?</h3>

Playas are flat-bottomed depressions that are sometimes surrounded by water which it slowly seeps into the groundwater system or vaporizes into the atmosphere. As a result, salt, sand, and mud are deposited along the depression's bottom and around its edges.

Some key feature of playa are-

Playas are also known as pans, flats, or dry lakes.
They are typically found in inner desert watersheds and close to coasts in arid and semi-arid regions.
The flattest recorded landforms are playas. Typically, their gradients are less than 0.2 meters per kilometer.
Many kilometers of surface may be submerged when only a few centimeters of water are added.
The nearly flawless flatness that is so distinctive of these dry region landforms is developed and maintained by the process of flooding.
The middle, level basins of arid plains are called playas. They need drainage from the inside to a place where evaporation far outweighs intake.
A playa lake arises when the area is inundated, concentrating salts and fine-grained debris.
Playa terminology is somewhat confusing due to the abundance of regional names.
