Matter is needed to transfer thermal energy by

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.

Question 2.

choli [55]

Explanation:

1 inch = 25.4 mm

1 foot = 12 inches

1 mile = 5260 feet

1 cm = 0.01 m or 10 mm

Now Sammy's height is 5 feet and 5.3 inches.

(a) We need to find Sammy's height in inches.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

5 feet = 5 × 12 inches = 60 inches

Now, 5 feet and 5.3 inches = 60 inches + 5.3 inches = 65.3 inches

Sammy's height is 65.3 inches.

(b) We need to find Sammy's height in feet.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

$1\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{1}{12}\ \text{feet}$

So,

$5.3\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{5.3}{12}\ \text{feet}=0.4416\ \text{feet}$

5 feet and 5.3 inches = 5 feet + 0.4416 feet = 5.44 feet

Sammy's height is 5.44 feet.

What is the distance from axis about which a uniform, balsa-wood sphere will have the same moment of inertia as does a thin-wall

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$D_{s}$ ≈ 2.1 R

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the bodies can be calculated by the equation

I = ∫ r² dm

For bodies with symmetry this tabulated, the moment of inertia of the center of mass

Sphere $Is_{cm}$ = 2/5 M R²

Spherical shell $Ic_{cm}$ = 2/3 M R²

The parallel axes theorem allows us to calculate the moment of inertia with respect to different axes, without knowing the moment of inertia of the center of mass

I = $I_{cm}$ + M D²

Where M is the mass of the body and D is the distance from the center of mass to the axis of rotation

Let's start with the spherical shell, axis is along a diameter

D = 2R

Ic = $Ic_{cm}$ + M D²

Ic = 2/3 MR² + M (2R)²

Ic = M R² (2/3 + 4)

Ic = 14/3 M R²

The sphere

Is = $Is_{cm}$ + M [ $D_{s}$ ²

Is = Ic

2/5 MR² + M $D_{s}$ ² = 14/3 MR²

$D_{s}$ ² = R² (14/3 - 2/5)

$D_{s}$ = √ (R² (64/15)

$D_{s}$ = 2,066 R
