Where do scientists believe the missing carbon is going? Why are they not sure?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Scientists believe the missing carbon has found a sink in the Northern Forest. Scientist have come up with this idea because they believe consequences of global warming contributed to significant extent to the northern forest carbon sinking processes. In addition to that, scientists describe a process where the oceans of the world sink carbon to create a balance of the ecosystem. That is why they are not 100% sure.

An underwater scuba diver sees the Sun at an apparent angle of 43.0° above the horizontal. What is the actual elevation angle of

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The actual elevation angle is 12.87 degrees

Explanation:

In the attachment you can clearly see the situation. The angle of elevation as seen for the scuba diver is shown in magenta, we conclude that $\theta_2=90-43=47$ .

Using Snell's Law we can write:

$n_1\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)$

$\implies \sin(\theta_1)=\frac{n_2}{n_1}\sin(\theta_2)$ ,

Let's approximate the index of refraction of the air (medium 1 in the picture) to 1.

We thus have:

$\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)=1.333\sin(47)$

$\implies\theta_1=\arcsin[n_2\sin(\theta_2)]=\arcsin[1.333\sin(47)]\approx 77.13$ . Calling $\alpha$ the actual angle of elevation, we get from the picture that $\alpha=90-77.13=12.97$

A meter stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Find the speed of the other end when it

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.4 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Here we have to use conservation of energy. Initially when the stick is held vertical, its center of mass is at some height above the ground, hence the stick has some gravitational potential energy. As the stick is allowed to fall, its rotates about one. gravitational potential energy of the stick gets converted into rotational kinetic energy.

$L$ = length of the meter stick = 1 m

$m$ = mass of the meter stick

$w$ = angular speed of the meter stick as it hits the floor

$v$ = speed of the other end of the stick

we know that, linear speed and angular speed are related as

$v = r w\\w = \frac{v}{r}$

$h$ = height of center of mass of meter stick above the floor = $\frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 m$

$I$ = Moment of inertia of the stick about one end

For a stick, momentof inertia about one end has the formula as

$I = \frac{mL^{2} }{3}$

Using conservation of energy

Rotational kinetic energy of the stick = gravitational potential energy

$(0.5) I w^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{mL^{2} }{3}) (\frac{v}{L} )^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = gh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = (9.8)(0.5)\\v = 5.4 ms^{-1}$

Un vas plin cu lichid cântăreşte 175kg. Ceea ce reprezintă de 5 ori masa vasului gol. Ştiind că volumul interior al vasului este

Mariana [72]

a) Density of the liquid: $823.5kg/m^3$

b) Weight of the liquid: 1372 N

Explanation:

Translation of the text:

"A full tank with liquid weighs 175kg. Which is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel. Knowing that the inside volume of the vessel is 0.17kl, calculate:

a) the density of the liquid;

b) the weight of the liquid."

We know that the full tank with liquid has a total mass of M = 175 kg. We can write the total mass as

$M=m_L + m_V$ (1)

where

$m_L$ is the mass of the liquid

$m_V$ is the mass of the vessel

We also know that the total mass M is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel, so we have:

$M=5m_V\\m_V=\frac{M}{5}=\frac{175}{5}=35 kg$

which is the mass of the empty vessel.

Therefore, we can find the mass of the liquid only using (1):

$m_L=M-m_V=175-35=140 kg$

The density of the liquid is given by

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where

m = 140 kg (mass of the liquid)

V = 0.170 kL = 170 L = $0.170 m^3$ (volume of the liquid, which is equal to the volume of the vessel)

So we get

$d=\frac{140}{0.170}=823.5kg/m^3$

The weight of a body is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is its mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the liquid in this problem, we have

m = 140 kg (mass)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore, its weight is

$F=(140)(9.8)=1372 N$

If a roller coaster cart, with a mass of 100 kg, traveled this coaster, how much kinetic energy would it have at point 'E'?

zzz [600]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming no friction between the roller coaster car and the hill, and neglecting air resistance, the kinetic energy the roller coaster car would have at the bottom of the hill would be equal to its gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill, by conservation of energy.
