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.

A 4.0 µC point charge and a 3.0 µC point charge are a distance L apart. Where should a third point charge be placed so that the

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Q must be placed at 0.53 L

Explanation:

Given data:

q_1 = 4.0 μC , q_2 = 3.0μC

Distance between charge is L

third charge q be placed at distance x cm from q1

The force by charge q_1 due to q is

$F1 = \frac{k q q_1}{x^2}$

$F1 = \frac{k q ( 4.0 μC )}{ x^2}$ ----1

The force by charge q_2 due to q is

$F2 = \frac{k q q_2}{(L-x)^2}$

$F2 = \frac{kq (3.0 μC)}{(L-x)^2}$ --2

we know that net electric force is equal to zero

F_1 = F_2

$\frac{k q ( 4.0 μC )}{x^2} =\frac{k q ( 3.0 μC )}{(l-x)^2}$

$\frac{4}{3}*(L-x)^2 = x^2$

$x = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}*(L - x)$

$L-x = \frac{x}{1.15}$

$L = x + \frac{x}{1.15} = 1.86 x$

x = 0.53 L

Q must be placed at 0.53 L

After a 50-kg person steps from a boat onto the shore, the boat moves away with a speed of 0.70 m/s with respect to the shore. I

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

M=125 kg

v=1.75 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of linear momentum

P =mv

Case 1 50*V =M* 0.7 equation 1

50*V =(M+50)* 0.5 equation 2

equating 1 and 2

M* 0.7=(m+50)* 0.5

0.2 M= 25

M=125 kg

Putting value of M in equation 1

50*V =125*0.7

V=1.75 m/s

The human ear canal is about 2.9 cm long and can be regarded as a tube open at one end and closed at the eardrum. What is the fu

solniwko [45]

The frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

Explanation:

As the ear canal is like a tube with open at one end, the wavelength of sound passing through this tube will propagate 4 times its length of the tube. So wavelength of the sound wave will be equal to four times the length of the tube. Then the frequency can be easily determined by finding the ratio of velocity of sound to wavelength. As the velocity of sound is given as 339 m/s, then the wavelength of the sound wave propagating through the ear canal is

Wavelength=4*Length of the ear canal

As length of the ear canal is given as 2.9 cm, it should be converted into meter as follows:

$wavelength = 4*2.9*10^{-2} =0.116$

Then the frequency is determined as

f=c/λ=339/0.116=2922 Hz=2.92 kHz.

So, the frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

If an object were released in space far away from planted or stars and given an initial momentum, describe what would happen to

mamaluj [8]

Strange as it may seem, the object would keep moving, in a straight line and at the same speed, until it came near another object. Its momentum and kinetic energy would never change. It might continue like that for a billion years or more.

Have a look at Newton's first law of motion.
