Answer: Higher up, in the stratosphere, the ozone layer absorbs solar ultra-violet radiation and affects how much of the Sun's heat is radiated back into space. The ozone layer shields us from the harmful effects of excessive UV radiation, which can lead to sunburn, skin cancer and eye damage.

Explanation: hope this helped :]

An elevator traveled 15 floors (150 ft) at a speed of 4.5 m/s. What additional information is needed to determine the velocity o
vladimir2022 [97]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Velocity is vector quantity.So it needs direction in addition to speed.</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion. </em>

A 1.0 kg football is given an initial velocity at ground level of 20.0 m/s [37 above horizontal]. It gets blocked just after re
stepan [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Neglect air resistance.
The horizontal component of the launch velocity is
 (20 m/s)*cos(37°) = 15.973 m/s
The vertical component of the launch velocity is
 (20 m/s)*sin(37°) = 12.036 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity is g =9.8 m/s².
The time, t s, for the ball to reach a height of 3 m is given by 
(12.036 m/s)*(t s) - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)² = (3 m)
12.036t - 4.9t² - 3 = 0
2.4543t - t² - 0.6122 = 0
t² - 2.4563t + 0.6122 = 0
Solve with the quadratic formula.
t = (1/2)[2.4563 +/- √(6.0334 - 2.4488)]
t = 2.1748 or 0.2815 s
The ball reaches a height of 3 m twice.
The first time it reaches 3 m height is 0.2815 s.

Part a.
The vertical velocity when t = 0.2815 s is
Vy  = 12.036 - 9.8*0.2815
   = 9.2773 m/s
The horizontal component of velocity is Vx = 15.973 m/s
The resultant velocity is 
√(9.2773² + 15.973² ) = 18.47 m/s
Answer:
The velocity at a height of 3.0 m  is 18.5 m/s (nearest tenth)

Part b.
The horizontal distance traveled is 
d = (15.973 m/s)*(0.2815 s) = 4.4964 m
Answer:
The horizontal distance traveled is 4.5 m (nearest tenth)

How much energy will a stock tank heater rated at 1790 Watts use in a 24 hour period? 1. 1790 × 24 × 3600 Joules 2. 1790 × 24 ×
Rashid [163]
<h2>Option 1 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Power of heater, P = 1790 W

Time used, t = 24 hours = 24 x 60 x 60 = 24 x 3600 s

We have the equation

               \texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}

We need to find energy,

Substituting

                 \texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\1790=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{24\times 3600}

                  Energy = 1790 x 24 x 3600 J

Option 1 is the correct answer.
