How does the Greenhouse Gas Emissions mitigate climate change? Explain.

2 answers:

6 0

An increase in the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases produces a positive climate forcing, or warming effect. From 1990 to 2015, the total warming effect from greenhouse gases added by humans to the Earth’s atmosphere increased by 37 percent. The warming effect associated with carbon dioxide alone increased by 30 percent.

Answer:

Climate change mitigation consists of actions to limit the magnitude or rate of global warming and its related effects. An increase in the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases produces a positive climate forcing, or warming effect. From 1990 to 2015, the total warming effect from greenhouse gases added by humans to the Earth's atmosphere increased by 37 percent

Answer:

C. 590 mph

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph$

Explanation:

Given:

velocity of jet, $v_j=500\ mph$
direction of velocity of jet, east relative to the ground
velocity of Cessna, $v_c=150\ mph$
direction of velocity of Cessna, 60° north of west

Taking the x-axis alignment towards east and hence we have the velocity vector of the jet as reference.

Refer the attached schematic.

So,

$\vec v_j=500\ \hat i\ mph$

$\vec v_c=150\times (\cos120\ \hat i+\sin120\ \hat j)$

$\vec v_c=-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph$

Now the vector of relative velocity of Cessna with respect to jet:

$\vec v_{cj}=\vec v_j-\vec v_c$

$\vec v_{cj}=500\ \hat i-(-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j )$

$\vec v_{cj}=575\ \hat i-75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph$

Now the magnitude of this velocity:

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=\sqrt{(575)^2+(75\sqrt{3} )^2}$

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph$ is the relative velocity of Cessna with respect to the jet.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer: 30.34m/s

Explanation:

The sum of forces in the y direction 0 = N cos 28 - μN sin28 - mg

Sum of forces in the x direction

mv²/r = N sin 28 + μN cos 28

mv²/r = N(sin 28 + μcos 28)

Thus,

mv²/r = mg [(sin 28 + μ cos 28)/(cos 28 - μ sin 28)]

v²/r = g [(sin 28 + μ cos 28)/(cos 28 - μ sin 28)]

v²/36 = 9.8 [(0.4695 + 0.87*0.8829) - (0.8829 - 0.87*0.4695)]

v²/36 = 9.8 [(0.4695 + 0.7681) / (0.8829 - 0.4085)]

v²/36 = 9.8 (1.2376/0.4744)

v²/36 = 9.8 * 2.6088

v²/36 = 25.57

v² = 920.52

v = 30.34m/s

Usain Bolt's world-record 100 m sprint on August 16, 2009, has been analyzed in detail. At the start of the race, the 94.0 kg Bo

ZanzabumX [31]

a) 893 N

b) 8.5 m/s

c) 3816 W

d) 69780 J

e) 8030 W

Explanation:

The net force acting on Bolt during the acceleration phase can be written using Newton's second law of motion:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

m is Bolt's mass

a is the acceleration

In the first 0.890 s of motion, we have

m = 94.0 kg (Bolt's mass)

$a=9.50 m/s^2$ (acceleration)

So, the net force is

$F_{net}=(94.0)(9.50)=893 N$

And according to Newton's third law of motion, this force is equivalent to the force exerted by Bolt on the ground (because they form an action-reaction pair).

Since Bolt's motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can find his final speed by using the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time

In the first phase of Bolt's race we have:

u = 0 m/s (he starts from rest)

$a=9.50 m/s^2$ (acceleration)

t = 0.890 s (duration of the first phase)

Solving for v,

$v=0+(9.50)(0.890)=8.5 m/s$

First of all, we can calculate the work done by Bolt to accelerate to a speed of

v = 8.5 m/s

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy, so

$W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-0$

where

m = 94.0 kg is Bolt's mass

v = 8.5 m/s is Bolt's final speed after the first phase

$K_i = 0 J$ is the initial kinetic energy

So the work done is

$W=\frac{1}{2}(94.0)(8.5)^2=3396 J$

The power expended is given by

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where

t = 0.890 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

$P=\frac{3396}{0.890}=3816 W$

First of all, we need to find what is the average force exerted by Bolt during the remaining 8.69 s of motion.

In the first 0.890 s, the force exerted was

$F_1=893 N$

We know that the average force for the whole race is

$F_{avg}=820 N$

Which can be rewritten as

$F_{avg}=\frac{0.890 F_1 + 8.69 F_2}{0.890+8.69}$

And solving for $F_2$ , we find the average force exerted by Bolt on the ground during the second phase:

$F_{avg}=\frac{0.890 F_1 + 8.69 F_2}{0.890+8.69}\\F_2=\frac{(0.890+8.69)F_{avg}-0.890F_1}{8.69}=812.5 N$

The net force exerted by Bolt during the second phase can be written as

$F_{net}=F_2-D$ (1)

where D is the air drag.

The net force can also be rewritten as

$F_{net}=ma$

where

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$ is the acceleration in the second phase, with

u = 8.5 m/s is the initial speed

v = 12.4 m/s is the final speed

t = 8.69 t is the time elapsed

Substituting,

$a=\frac{12.4-8.5}{8.69}=0.45 m/s^2$

So we can now find the average drag force from (1):

$D=F_2-F_{net}=F_2-ma=812.5 - (94.0)(0.45)=770.2 N$

So the increase in Bolt's internal energy is just equal to the work done by the drag force, so:

$\Delta E=W=Ds$

where

d is Bolt's displacement in the second part, which can be found by using suvat equation:

$s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{12.4^2-8.5^2}{2(0.45)}=90.6 m$

And so,

$\Delta E=Ds=(770.2)(90.6)=69780 J$

The power that Bolt must expend just to voercome the drag force is given by

$P=\frac{\Delta E}{t}$

where

$\Delta E$ is the increase in internal energy due to the air drag

t is the time elapsed

Here we have:

$\Delta E=69780 J$

t = 8.69 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

$P=\frac{69780}{8.69}=8030 W$

And we see that it is about twice larger than the power calculated in part c.
