Answer: 4. Infrared radiation

Explanation: Both carbon dioxide and methane are excellent absorbers of heat. The heat energy causes the molecule of carbon dioxide and methane to vibrate. As a result of this, the molecules gives up the extra energy by emitting  infrared photon.

Therefore, the Evidence that supports the idea that increases in carbon dioxide and methane in Earth's atmosphere are major contributors to global warming is primarily based on the fact that carbon dioxide and methane are excellent absorbers of infrared radiation

Find the equivalent resistance, current, and voltage across each resistor when the specified resistors are connected across a 20
timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

"Find the equivalent resistance, the current supplied by the battery and the current through each resistor when the specified resistors are connected across a 20-V battery. Part (a) uses two resistors with resistance values that can be set with the animation sliders, and you can use the animation to verify your calculation. In part (b), three resistors are specified. (a) Two resistors are connected in series across a 20-V battery. Let R1 = 1 Ω and R2 = 2 Ω. Rea = (b) Add a third resistor to the circuit in series. Let R1 = 1 Ω, R2 = 2 Ω, and R3 = 3 Ω"

Using ohms law formula to solve the problem

E = IRt

E is the supply voltage

I is the total current

Rt is the total equivalent resistant.

a) Given two resistances

R1 = 1ohms and R2 = 2ohms

If the resistors are Connected in series across a 20V supply voltage,

-Equivalent resistance = R1+R2

= 1ohms + 2ohms

= 3ohms

- In a series connected circuit, same current flows through the resistors.

Using the formula E = IRt

I = E/Rt

I = 20/3

I = 6.67A

The current in both resistors is 6.67A

- Different voltage flows across a series connected circuit.

Using the formula V = IR

V is the voltage across each resistor

I is the current in each resistor

For 1ohms resistor,

V = 6.67×1

V = 6.67Volts

For 2ohms resistor

V = 6.67×2

V = 13.34Volts

b) If the resistors are three

R1 = 1ohms, R2 = 2ohms R3 = 3ohms

- Total equivalent resistance = 1+2+3

= 6ohms

- Current in each resistor I = E/Rt

I = 20/6

I = 3.33A

Since the same current flows through the resistors, the current across each of them is 3.33A

- Voltage across them is calculated as shown:

V = IR

For 1ohm resistor

V = 3.33×1

V = 3.33volts

For 2ohms resistor

V = 3.33×2

V = 6.66volts

For 3ohms resistor

V = 3.33×3

V = 9.99volts

Two people push on the same door from opposite sides as shown. A man pushes on a door from the left. A woman pushes on the door
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The door will move when the forces exerted by each individual becomes unbalanced.

Explanation:

The Door will only move when the forces exerted by each of the individual is unbalanced i.e. when the Torque is unbalanced

This is because there will only be a reaction or movement of an object  when the applied force > resistant force acting on the object.

example : An object at rest will only move when the applied force is  greater than the frictional forces acting on the object at rest.

Find the final temperature of 375 grams of tea (c = 4.184 J/g°C) if its initial temperature is 95°C just before it is placed in
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

the final temperature of the tea is 7.39⁰C.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the tea, m = 375 g

specific heat capacity of the tea, C = 4.184 JJ/g°C

initial temperature of the tea, t₁ = 95°C

the final temperature of the tea, t₂ = ?

Energy lost by the refrigerator, Q = 137,460 J

The energy lost by the refrigerator is given by the following formula;

-Q = mc(t₂ - t₁)

-137,460 =375 x 4.184(t₂ - 95°C)

-137,460 = 1569(t₂ - 95°C)

t_2-95 = \frac{-137,460}{1569} \\\\t_2-95 = -87.61\\\\t_2 = -87.61 + 95\\\\t_2 = 7.39 \ ^0 C

Therefore, the final temperature of the tea is 7.39⁰C.
