Answer: The level of CO2 has risen.

Explanation:

From the table shown, we can see that the quantity of CO₂ in the atmosphere has steadily risen since the year 1960 going from 317 CO₂PPM in that year to 390 CO₂PPM in 2010.

This is a cause for alarm because with so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there will be an even greater greenhouse effect that will contribute to global warming.

How do you calculate mass using Newton’s 2nd Law?

deff fn [24]

The 2nd Law says F=ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is mass and a is acceleration. Earth's gravity is an acceleration, 9.8m/s^2. So you can solve the equation for mass, m=F/a, or m=F/9.8 where you've measured the force (weight) in Newtons.

A ball strikes a wall. It exerts a force of 10 N to the left against the wall and bounces off. What force does the wall exert on

Galina-37 [17]

The wall exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. So the force by the wall is 10 N to the right.

The closest distance a book can be read from a pair of reading eyeglasses (Power = 1.55 dp) is 26.0 cm. What is the near distanc

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The image distance is 20.0 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power = 1.55 dp

Distance between book to eye = 26.0+3.00=29.0 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of focal length

$f = \dfrac{1}{P}$

Put the value into the formula

$f=\dfrac{1}{1.55}$

$f=0.645\ m$

$f=64.5\ cm$

We need to calculate the image distance

Using lens formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{-u}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{64.5}-\dfrac{1}{-29}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{187}{3741}$

$v=20.0\ cm$

Hence, The image distance is 20.0 cm.

When the voltage across a steady resistance is doubled, the current?

natima [27]

I'm actually going ahead in the book (DC Circuits) so this isn't really homework but I figured the tag was appropriate....the name of the chapter is Ohm's Law and Watt's Law.

<span>Problem: Calculate the power dissipated in the load resistor, R, for each of the circuits.Circuit (a): V = 10V; I = 100mA; R = ?; Since I know V and I use formula P = IV: P = IV = (100mA)(10V) = 1 W.</span>

The next question is what I'm not sure about:

Question: What is the power in the circuit (a) above if the voltage is doubled? (Hint: Consider the effect on current).

What I did initially was: P = IV = (100mA)(2V) = 2 W

But then I looked at the answer and it said 4 W, then I looked at the Hint again. Then I remembered in the book early on it said "If the voltage increases across a resistor, current will increase."

So question is: When solving problems I have to increase (or decrease) current (I) every time voltage (V) is increased (decreased) in a problem, right? How about the other way around, when increasing current (I), you need to increase voltage (V). I'm pretty sure that's how they got 4 W, but want to make sure before I head to the next section of the book.

P = IV = (200mA)(2V) = 4 W
