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.

In a game of pool, the cue ball moves at a speed of 2 m/s toward the eight ball. When the cue ball hits the eight ball, the cue

Answer:

a)  p₀ = 1.2 kg m / s,  b) p_f = 1.2 kg m / s,  c)   θ = 12.36, d)  v_{2f} = 1.278 m/s

Explanation:

a system formed by the two balls, which are isolated and the forces during the collision are internal, therefore the moment is conserved

a) the initial impulse is

        p₀ = m v₁₀ + 0

        p₀ = 0.6 2

        p₀ = 1.2 kg m / s

b) as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved so

       p_f = 1.2 kg m / s

we define a reference system where the x-axis coincides with the initial movement of the cue ball

we write the final moment for each axis

X axis

        p₀ₓ = 1.2 kg m / s

        p_{fx} = m v1f cos 20 + m v2f cos θ

        p₀ = p_f

       1.2 = 0.6 (-0.8) cos 20+ 0.6 v_{2f} cos θ

        1.2482 = v_{2f} cos θ

Y axis  

       p_{oy} = 0

       p_{fy} = m v_{1f} sin 20 + m v_{2f} cos θ

       0 = 0.6 (-0.8) sin 20 + 0.6 v_{2f} sin θ

       0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

we write our system of equations

        0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

        1.2482 = v_{2f} cos θ

divide to solve

        0.219 = tan θ

         θ = tan⁻¹ 0.21919

         θ = 12.36

let's look for speed

           0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

            v_{2f} = 0.2736 / sin 12.36

           v_{2f} = 1.278 m / s
