Explain how ozone in the atmosphere affects visible light on earth

Physics
1 answer:
vichka [17]3 years ago
8 0
Ozone gas in the upper atmosphere absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation of wavelengths shorter than about 0.25 µm. This is actually a positive thing for us and most other living things, because of the harmful nature of ultraviolet radiation below these wavelengths. The ozone layer is a natural layer of gas in the upper atmosphere that protects humans and other living things from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.

On an essentially frictionless, horizontal ice rink, a skater moving at 3.0 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: 1.25 m

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity(v_i )=3 m/s

Final velocity(v_f)=0.55\times 3=1.65 m/s

Change in kinetic Energy =work done by Friction

change in Kinetic Energy=\frac{m}{2}\left ( v_i^2-v_f^2\right )

work done by friction=\mu mgL

\frac{m}{2}\left ( 3^2-1.65^2\right )=0.25\cdot mg\times L

3.135=0.25\times 9.8\times L

L=1.25

What organs are involved in caring out these functions?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The human brain is the body's control center, receiving and sending signals to other organs through the nervous system and through secreted hormones. It is responsible for our thoughts, feelings, memory storage and general perception of the world.

The human heart is a responsible for pumping blood throughout our body.

The job of the kidneys is to remove waste and extra fluid from the blood. The kidneys take urea out of the blood and combine it with water and other substances to make urine.

The liver has many functions, including detoxifying of harmful chemicals, breakdown of drugs, filtering of blood, secretion of bile and production of blood-clotting proteins.

The lungs are responsible for removing oxygen from the air we breathe and transferring it to our blood where it can be sent to our cells. The lungs also remove carbon dioxide, which we exhale.

Skin is important in creating a physical barrier to protect the body from pathogens.
