Since prehistoric times what has been the correlation between atmospheric carbon dioxide level and global temperature

Physics

Answer:

The correlation based on one source of estimates of temperatures and CO2 levels (namely the Vostok data) is <em>positive</em> with an R^2 coefficient of about 0.75.

Explanation

There are only few sources of data for us to estimate this correlation over long periods of time. One of these are the "Vostok" ice core data that span some 400 thousand years of estimated temperature and CO2 levels (https://cdiac.ess-dive.lbl.gov/trends/co2/vostok.html). A paper referenced below shows the coefficient of determination of 0.75.

It should be pointed out that a correlation, and even more so causality between historical CO2 and temperatures has been subject of an ongoing scientific debate. This debate is further compounded by politically motivated factors. So it remains to be added: use care adopting conclusions of others in this active field of science, try to perform own analysis of raw/original sources yourself, whenever possible.

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ
liq [111]

Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.

arzan, who weighs 700 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a convenient vine thatis 20 m long. From the top of the cliff to the
vekshin1

Answer:

= 7.07 m

Explanation:

The Tarzan reaches bottom of swing after descending 2.5 m,

change in his potential energy equals his kinetic energy at bottom of swing

m g h = (1/2) m v²   ,  

hence speed v of Tarzan at bottom of swing is given as  

v = ( 2 g h )1/2

= ( 2 × 9.8 × 2.5 )1/2

= 7 m/s

At the bottom of swing, if the vine breaks, then he is moving with horizontal velocity 7 m/s in gravitational field.  

If vertical distance from ground to bottom of swing is 5 m, then time t for Tarzan to reach ground is given by

S = (1/2)g t2 or   t = (2S/g)1/2

= ( 2 × 5 / 9.8 )1/2

= 1.01 s

Horizontal distance traveled by Tarzan = 1.01 × 7

= 7.07 m

Which of the following are density labels? <br> a. Kg/L <br> b. g/m <br> c. g/mL <br> d. cm/g
bearhunter [10]
Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. It is a property that can be used to describe a substance.<span> </span><span>It has standard units of kg/m^3 or g/mL. So, the best answer is option C.</span>
