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

light. decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to visible light. increases the transparency of the atmosphere to visible light. increases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light. Which of the following statements about global warming is NOT true? Computer models indicate that only human contributions to atmospheric carbon dioxide can account for recent global temperature rises Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have risen dramatically over the past hundred years or so. Rises in global mean temperature tend to be closely associated with rises in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. The global mean temperature in the modern era is the highest is has ever been

Answer:

Decrease the transparency of the atmosphere

Explanation:

Different gases have characteristic absorption bands, so-called greenhouse gases have very high bands in the infrared region and small bands in the region of visible light.

   When the radiation  arrives to pass the greenhouse gases (CO²) and affects the earth's surface after several processes, the earth emits radiation in the infrared region, but this is absorbed by the gases, creating a net heating, since that the transparency of the atmosphere is  DECREASE for infrared radiation

Reviewing the correct answers is: Decrease the transparency of the atmosphere

At what point does a rubber band have the most elastic potential energy? Explain.
madam [21]

Answer:

You input potential (stored) energy into the rubber band system when you stretched the rubber band back. Because it is an elastic system, this kind of potential energy is specifically called elastic potential energy. ... When the rubber band is released, the potential energy is quickly converted to kinetic (motion) energy.

Conservation of Energy-not sure how to do problem-confused on how to find the speed and how to figure out energy bar graph
nika2105 [10]

Given data

*The given mass of the rock is m = 2 kg

*The given potential energy is U_p = 407 J

(a)

The diagram of the energy bar graph is drawn below

(b)

If an object is at rest and has potential energy, once it starts to fall from its rest state then this potential energy is completely transferred to kinetic energy. This means that the magnitude of the kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy of the object.

The change in kinetic energy of the rock while falling to the ground is given as

\begin{gathered} U_k=U_p \\ =407\text{ J} \end{gathered}

(c)

The formula for the speed of the block is given as

\begin{gathered} U_k=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2U_k}{m}} \end{gathered}

Substitute the known values in the above expression as

\begin{gathered} v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2\times407}{2}} \\ =20.17\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Hence, the speed of the object is v = 20.17 m/s
