The correct answer is - A. Plants store solar energy; the plants die; the plants are compressed; solar energy is released;

The plants use the solar energy for their functioning, thus they are one of the biggest natural storage of it. The plants also use the CO2 for the process of photosynthesis that is driven by the solar energy. When the plants die, the things inside them are stored in them, and if they are quickly covered they will remain stored and not get back into the atmosphere. The plants than are compressed, and over time that leads to a change in their composition. After millions of years had passed, the solar energy and CO2 had turned into coal. The coal is heavily used by the humans in the past few centuries, and with its burning the solar energy and the CO2 are released back into the atmosphere from which they came millions of years ago.

A charged wire of negligible thickness has length 2L units and has a linear charge density λ. Consider the electric field E-vect

Stels [109]

Answer:

$E=2K\lambda d\dfrac{L }{d^2\sqrt{L^2+d^2}}$

Explanation:

Given that

Length= 2L

Linear charge density=λ

Distance= d

K=1/(4πε)

The electric field at point P

$E=2K\int_{0}^{L}\dfrac{\lambda }{r^2}dx\ sin\theta$

$sin\theta =\dfrac{d}{\sqrt{d^2+x^2}}$

$r^2=d^2+x^2$

$E=2K\lambda d\int_{0}^{L}\dfrac{dx }{(x^2+d^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Now by integrating above equation

$E=2K\lambda d\dfrac{L }{d^2\sqrt{L^2+d^2}}$

What does a wave do that is so important?

expeople1 [14]

Waves transmit energy without transmitting matter, This means that we can move energy or information from one place to another without moving any substance from one place to another.

Baseball player swings and hits a pop fly straight up in the air to the catcher. the height of the baseball in meters t seconds

andre [41]

The height at time t is given by
h(t) = -4.91t² + 34.3t + 1

When the ball reaches maximum height, its derivative, h'(t) = 0.
That is,
-2(4.91)t+34.3 = 0
-9.82t + 34.3 = 0
t = 3.4929 s

Note that h''(t) = -9.82 (negative) which confirms that h will be maximum.

The maximum height is
hmax = -4.91(3.4929)² + 34.3(3.4929) + 1
= 60.903 m

Answer:
The ball attains maximum height in 3.5 s (nearest tenth).
The ball attains a maximum height of 60.9 m (nearest tenth)

Region that contains the majority of molecules in the atmosphere

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Trophosphere

Explanation:

The troposphere is the atmospheric layer closest to the planet and is characterized because contains the largest percentage of the mass of the total atmosphere.

On special characteristic is that in this layer the temperature and water vapor content decrease a lot respect to the altitude. Also on this layer the Water vapor is important in order to regulate the air temperature since on this zone we have absorption of the solar energy.

The troposphere contains almost all the water vapor in the atmosphere. And specially on the tropics we have an accumulation of the water vapour.

All weather phenomena occur within the troposphere. Tropos means "change" and Troposphere means "region of mixing".

Above this layer, we have the tropopause, ranges in height from 5 miles near the poles up to 11 miles above the equator. And the height depends of the seasons, with an special characteristic: the is highest height occurs in the summer and lowest height occurs in the winter.

The troposphere contains almost 75% of the mass of the entire atmosphere. The air on this layer is composed by 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% is made of argon, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.

So for this reason this is the Region that contains the majority of molecules in the atmosphere.

What mass of electrons would be required to just neutralize the charge of 4.8 g of protons?

suter [353]

Let's calculate the total charge of M=4.8 g=0.0048 kg of protons.
Each proton has a charge of $q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ , and a mass of $m_p = 1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg$ . So, the number of protons is
$N_p = \frac{M}{m_p}= \frac{0.0048 kg}{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg}=2.87 \cdot 10^{24}$ And so the total charge of these protons is $Q_p = qN_p = (1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(2.87 \cdot 10^{24})=4.6\cdot 10^5 C$

So, the neutralize this charge, we must have $N_e$ electrons such that their total charge is
$Q_e = -4.6 \cdot 10^5 C$
Since the charge of each electron is $q_e = -1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C$ , the number of electrons needed is
$N_e = \frac{Q_e}{q}= \frac{-4.6 \cdot 10^5 C}{-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=2.87 \cdot 10^{24}$
which is the same as the number of protons (because proton and electron have same charge magnitude). Since the mass of a single electron is $m_e=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg$ , the total mass of electrons should be
$M_e = N_e m_e = (2.87 \cdot 10^{24})(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg)=2.6 \cdot 10^{-6}kg$
