Nuclear winter story. A crazy president is trying to solve the global warming problem and has successfully built a powerful H-bo
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

A nuclear winter is a climatic phenomenon that would follow the detonation of several atomic bombs in the event that a nuclear war broke out. These bombs would cause firestorms that would raise smoke, dust and particles into the atmosphere that would end up in the stratosphere and eventually spread throughout the globe.

Explanation:

That idea is far fetched, because even though those same particles would absorb sunlight, it would raise the temperature in the stratosphere and cause a decrease in temperature in the Earth's layer. Unable to seep the sun's rays, many plant species would die and this would affect the entire food chain.

In addition, that temperature rise in the stratosphere would destroy part of the ozone layer, causing greater exposure to ultraviolet rays. This would end up affecting health and further damaging plant species.

lawyer [7]

Answer:

It is longer

Explanation:

According to the theory of special relativity, moving clocks run slower. So, the construction worker moving at a constant speed observers a time much longer than the time I observe since I am stationary. If t is the time observed by me and v is the speed of the construction worker, then, the time observed by the construction worker, t' is given by

t' = t/√[1 - (v/c)²] where c = speed of light

So, the construction worker reports a longer time interval than me since his time runs slower.

What is Newton's Law
r-ruslan [8.4K]
I hope you are referring to Newton's Laws of Motion by "Newton's Law".

There are three laws quoted by the great physicist of all time Sir Isaac Newton.

These laws are the building-blocks of the field of the Physics known as Classical Physics or Classical Mechanics.

Law 1. If no force applied externally, then a body in rest will always be in rest and a body in motion will continue to move in a straight line with a uniform velocity.

Law 2. The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied and the direction of motion is always in the direction of the force applied.

Law 3. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

The Law 1 is also called the law of Inertia.

From the 2nd law, we can derive the equation of force, that is F =m.a (m = mass; a = acceleration)
