Answer:Greenhouse effect

Explanation:

Short wavelength radiation from the sun passes through a  planet's atmosphere but some of the outgoing long-wavelength energy is absorbed and radiated again this process is known as Green house effect which increases the temperature of earth and as a result causes more to be trapped inside earth atmosphere.

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind.
RideAnS [48]

a)If it takes the bird 18.0 minutes to fly 6 km away from the earth, the wind's speed will be 4 m/s.

b) The bird would need 7 minutes and 42 seconds to fly back 6 kilometers if he turned around and flew with the wind.

c)Compared to the 133.33 seconds it would take without the wind, the overall round-trip time is affected by the wind.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.

The given data in the problem is

A seagull flies at a velocity,\rm v_{SA}  = 9 \ m/sec

The time the bird takes,t=18.0 min

The distance traveled relative to the earth = 6.00 km

a)

The seagull's relative velocity with reference to the ground as;

\rm v_{sg} = \frac{6.00 \times 10^3 \ m }{(20 min) \times \frac{60 s }{1 \ min}} \\\\ v_{sg}= 5.00 \ m/sec

Air velocity with reference to the ground is;

\rm v_{AG}= v_{SG}-v_{SA} \\\\ v_{AG} = 5.00 \ m/sec - 9.00 \ m/sec \\\\ v_{AG} = -4.00 \ m/sec

b)

If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, The time will he take to return 6.00 km is;

\rm v_{SG}=v_{SA}+v_{AG} \\\\ v_{SG}=-900 \ m/sec +(-4.00 \ m/sec) \\\\ v_{SG}= -13.00 \ m/sec

The time the bird takes;

\rm t = \frac{x_{SG}}{v_{SG}} \\\\ t = \frac{6.00 \times 10^3 \ m }{13.00 \ m/sec } \\\\ t = 462 m/sec \\\\ t = 7  \ min \  and  \ 42  \ sec

c)\

The total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind. is;

\rm  t = 20 \ min( \frac{60 \ sec }{1 \ min} )+ 462 \ sec \\\\ t = 1200 \ sec +6 462 \ ec \\\\ t= 1662 \ sec

The time for the round trip is;

\rm  t = \frac{12 \times 10^ 3 }{ 9 \ m/sec }  \\\\ t  = 1333.33 \ sec

Hence the wind's speed, the time bird would need to fly back the total round-trip time will be  4 m/s, 7 minutes and 42 seconds and 1333.33 sec.

Light in the air is incident at an angle to the surface of (12.0 A) degrees on a piece of glass with an index of refraction of (
Orlov [11]

The question is incomplete. You dis not provide values for A and B. Here is the complete question

Light in the air is incident at an angle to a surface of (12.0 + A) degrees on a piece of glass with an index of refraction of (1.10 + (B/100)). What is the angle between the surface and the light ray once in the glass? Give your answer in degrees and rounded to three significant figures.

A = 12

B = 18

Answer:

18.5⁰

Explanation:

Angle of incidence i = 12.0 + A

A = 12

= 12.0 + 12

= 14

Refractive index u = 1.10 + B/100

= 1.10 + 18/100

= 1.10 + 0.18

= 1.28

We then find the angle of refraction index u

u = sine i / sin r

u = sine24/sinr

1.28 = sine 24 / sine r

1.28Sine r = sin24

1.28 sine r = 0.4067

Sine r = 0.4067/1.28

r = sine^-1(0.317)

r = 18.481

= 18.5⁰

If Juan upgrades from a sports car to a large truck, what will happen to the
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The force will have to increase

Explanation:

Since Juan has upgraded from a sports car to a large truck, based on Newton's second law of motion, the force needed to keep the truck going at the same speed will have to increase.

 According to Newton's second law "the force on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration".

       Force  = mass x acceleration

A truck has a larger mass compared to a sports car.

By virtue of this, to make sure both automobiles attain the same speed, the force powering them to accelerate must be the same.

 Therefore, the force from the engine must increase.
