Explain why greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause an increase in temperature?

1 answer:

6 0

Any gas in the atmosphere that absorbs and emits thermal infrared radiation is referred to as a greenhouse gas (GHG). These are the primary causes of the greenhouse effect, which causes the Earth's temperature to rise. Earth is warmer because less heat radiates into space.

Describe the differences among ultraviolet waves, visible light waves, and infrared waves. how are these waves alike?

sergeinik [125]

Our eyes are detectors which are designed to detect visible light waves (or visible radiation). ... The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The only difference between these different types of radiation is their wavelength or frequency.

The largest building in the world by volume is the boeing 747 plant in Everett, Washington. It measures approximately 632 m long

Schach [20]

Explanation:

Given that,

The dimensions of the largest building in the world is 632 m long, 710 yards wide, and 112 ft high. It basically forms a cuboid. The volume of a cuboidal shape is given by :

Since,

1 meter = 3.28084 feet

632 m = 2073.49 feet

1 yard= 3 feet

710 yards = 2130 feet

V = lbh

$V=2073.49 \ ft\times 2130\ ft\times 112\ ft$

$V=494651774.4\ ft^3$

$V=4.94\times 10^8\ ft^3$

Also,

$V=(4.94\times 10^8\ ft^3)(\dfrac{1\ m}{3.281})^3$

$V=1.39\times 10^7\ m^3$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A block of mass 14.9 kg is pulled to the right by an applied force of 39.4 N. If it moves with constant velocity, how much frict

lakkis [162]

The frictional force is 39.4 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's 2nd law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on the block is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration. So we can write

$\sum F = ma$
