The greenhouse effect is something undesirable for human life? Is this true or false? Give reasons to support your position.

In my opinion, the greenhouse effect is desirable for human life, and the life of other organisms. Most of the Earth's atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen, which do not have much effect in regulating the climate. The Earth absorbs this energy and radiates heat energy at a longer wavelength (infrared radiation) back into the atmosphere. This boosts the beneficial proteins made by people in their systems.

A 10 kg monkey climbs up a massless rope that runs over a frictionless tree limb and back down to a 15 kg package on the ground.

Answer:

A. 4,9 m/s2

B. 2,0 m/s2

C. 120 N

Explanation:

In the image, 1 is going to represent the monkey and 2 is going to be the package. Let a_mín be the minimum acceleration that the monkey should have in the upward direction, so the package is barely lifted. Apply Newton’s second law of motion:

$\sum F_y=m_1*a_m_i_n = T-m_1*g$

If the package is barely lifted, that means that T=m_2*g; then:

$\sum F_y =m_1*a_m_i_n=m_2*g-m_1*g$

Solving the equation for a_mín, we have:

$a_m_i_n=((m_2-m_1)/m_1)*g = ((15kg-10kg)/10kg)*9,8 m/s^2 =4,9 m/s^2$

Once the monkey stops its climb and holds onto the rope, we set the equation of Newton’s second law as it follows:

For the monkey: $\sum F_y = m_1*a \rightarrow T-m_1*g=m_1*a$

For the package: $\sum F_y = m_2*a \rightarrow m_2*g - T = m_2*a$

The acceleration a is the same for both monkey and package, but have opposite directions, this means that when the monkey accelerates upwards, the package does it downwards and vice versa. Therefore, the acceleration a on the equation for the package is negative; however, if we invert the signs on the sum of forces, it has the same effect. To be clearer:

For the package: $\sum F_y = -m_2*a \rightarrow T-m2*g=-m_2*a \rightarrow m_2*g -T=m_2 *a$
