Why is a decrease in Earth’s ozone harmful to life?

Physics
1 answer:
zavuch27 [327]3 years ago
8 0

Most ozone resides in the stratosphere (a layer of the atmosphere between 10 and 40 km above us), where it acts as a shield to protect Earth's surface from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. With a weakening of this shield, we would be more susceptible to skin cancer, cataracts and impaired immune systems.

How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

16 ohms

Explanation:

V= I ⋅ R

where,  V  is the net potential difference in the circuit,  I  is the current in the circuit and  R  is the net resistance of the circuit.  

In this case,  V = 240  volts,  I = 15  amperes.

240 = 15 ⋅ R  

⇒ R = 240/ 15 = 16  ohms

true or false? short-wave heat radiation is given off by the earth when the earth absorbs long-wave radiation.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Hope this helps u, pls mark me brainlist

Explanation:

The sun emits shortwave radiation because it is extremely hot and has a lot of energy to give off. Once in the Earth's atmosphere, clouds and the surface absorb the solar energy. The ground heats up and re-emits energy as longwave radiation in the form of infrared rays.

ASTM A229 oil-tempered carbon steel is used for a helical coil spring. The spring is wound with D = 50 mm d = 10.0 mm, and a pit
horrorfan [7]

Answer

given,

D = 50 mm = 0.05 m

d = 10 mm = 0.01 m

Force to compress the spring

F = \dfrac{d^4G\delta}{8D^3N}

\dfrac{\delta}{N} = p - d = 14 - 10 = 4 mm

F = \dfrac{d^4G}{8D^3}\times 0.004

F = \dfrac{0.1^4\times 79\times 10^9}{8\times 0.05^3}\times 0.004

     F = 3160 N

stress correction factor from stress correction curve is equal to 1.1

now, calculation of corrected stress

\tau = \dfrac{8FDk_s}{\pi d^3}

\tau = \dfrac{8\times 3160 \times 0.05 \times 1.1}{\pi \times 0.01^3}

              = 442.6 Mpa

The tensile strength of the steel material of  ASTM A229 is equal to 1300 Mpa

now,

\tau_s \leq 0.45 S_u

\tau_s \leq 0.45 \times 1300

\tau_s \leq 585\ Mpa

since corrected stress is less than the \tau_s

hence, spring will return to its original shape.
