Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.

A fire engine approaches a wall at 5 m/s while the siren emits a tone of 500 Hz frequency. At the time, the speed of sound in ai

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The values is $f_b =14.9 \ beats/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the fire engine is $v = 5\ m/s$

The frequency of the tone is $f = 500 \ Hz$

The speed of sound in air is $v_s = 340 \ m/s$

The beat frequency is mathematically represented as

$f_b = f_a - f$

Where $f_a$ is the frequency of sound heard by the people in the fire engine and is is mathematically evaluated as

$f_a = [\frac{v_s + v }{v_s -v} ]* f$

substituting values

$f_a = [\frac{340 + 5 }{340 -5} ]* 500$

$f_a = 514.9 \ Hz$

Thus

$f_b =514.9 - 500$

$f_b =14.9 \ beats/s$

In a laundromat, during the spin-dry cycle of a washer, the rotating tub goes from rest to its maximum angular speed of 2.2 rev/

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

$n_{T} = 31.68\,rev$

Explanation:

The angular acceleration is:

$\ddot n_{1} = \frac{2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} -0\,\frac{rev}{s} }{8.8\,s}$

$\ddot n_{1} = 0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

And the angular deceleration is:

$\ddot n_{2} = \frac{0\,\frac{rev}{s}-2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} }{20\,s}$

$\ddot n_{2} = -0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

The total number of revolutions is:

$n_{T} = n_{1} + n_{2}$

$n_{T} = \frac{\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)} + \frac{\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$n_{T} = 31.68\,rev$
