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.

Answer:

The elastic potential energy at point B is  PE_{elastic} = 50J

The kinetic energy at point D is KE = 75J

Explanation:

Looking at the given point we can observe that mechanically energy(i.e potential and kinetic energy ) is conserved and it value is E_ {m} = 100J

     So at point B

           E_{m} = PE_{elastic} +KE

           100 = PE_{elastic} + KE

   KE at point B is  50J

So     PE_{elastic} = 100 - 50 = 50J

     Now at point D

          E_{m} = PE_{elastic} +KE

    PE_{elastic} at point D is 25J

 So  KE = 100 - 25 = 75J

On a planet with different gravity, would the molarity of water be different? explain your reasoning.
ruslelena [56]

On a planet with different gravity, the molarity of water won't be different as water produces regular natural gravity.

<h3>How to explain the gravity?</h3>

Although sunlight is the energy source, gravity is the main factor driving the water cycle. The Earth's gravity pulls matter downward and toward its center. Gravity is the force that attracts two objects. It pushes water downhill and precipitation from the clouds. Air and ocean water are also moved by gravity.

We understand that even if the gravitational pull varies throughout the universe, the molarity of water would be constant everywhere. This is thus because a substance's mass is unaffected by gravity; only its weight is. The quantity (or mass, indirectly) of a solute is used to calculate the molarity.

Here, on a planet with different gravity, the molarity of water won't be different as water produces regular natural gravity.

____ [38]
It’s not true! Due to the earth already moving around earth it’s not possible for earth to meet the Apple so instead the Apple meets earth due to the gravitational pole! If earth met the Apple it would mess up circling the sun causing us to meet out demise
