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 cylindrical region of radius R contains a uniform magnetic field parallel to its axis. The field is zero outside the cylinder.

PtichkaEL [24]

The magnitude of the induced electric field is (RdB/dt)/4

The induced electric field is gotten from

-∫E.dl = dФ/dt where E = induced electric field, dl = path length vector, Ф = magnetic flux through cylindrical region = AB where A = area of magnetic flux = πR² where R = radius of cylindrical region and B = magnetic field.

So, -∫E.dl = dФ/dt

-∫E.dl = dAB/dt

-∫Edlcos0 = AdB/dt (where E.dl = Edlcos0 = Edl since E and dl are parallel to each other.)

So -∫Edl = πR²dB/dt

-E∫dl = πR²dB/dt (∫dl = 2πr since the integral is the circumference of the path)

-E(2πr) = πR²dB/dt (we integrate dl from r = 0 to 2R)

-E2π(2R - 0) = πR²dB/dt

-E4πR= πR²dB/dt

E = πR²dB/dt ÷ 4πR

E = -(RdB/dt)/4

So, the magnitude of the induced electric field is (RdB/dt)/4

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

zhenek [66]

Answer:

$f=2887.93Hz$

Explanation:

Given data

Length L=2.9 cm=0.029m

Speed of sound v=335 m/s

to find

Fundamental frequency f

Solution

As we know that frequency is given as:

f=v/λ

$f=\frac{v}{4L}\\ f=\frac{335m/s}{4(0.029m)} \\ f=2887.93Hz$

svetlana [45]

Answer:

(A) FM Radio had a somewhat shorter ranger than AM radio, but better sound quality.

Explanation:

FM Radio was invented in 1933 by Edwin Armstrong who was an American engineer. FM stands for frequency modulation and AM stands for Amplitude Modulation.

FM is used for most broadcasts of music and FM radio stations use a very high-frequency range of radio frequencies.

In FM Radio, the sound is transmitted through changes in frequency. Both FM and AM radio signals experience frequent change in amplitude, they are far less noticeable on FM.

When switching between stations, FM antenna is alternating between different frequencies, and not amplitudes and this produces a much clearer sound and allows for smoother transitions with little to no audible static.

FM signals can be interfered by barriers and this could affect the signal strength. FM Radio signals are more clearer in a mountainous area that has no barrier.

AM radio was able to carry signals farther than AM radio.

A woman can row her canoe at 2.5 m/s. If she faces an opposing current of 3.0 m/s, how fast will she go forward?

taurus [48]

Answer:

V = - 0.5 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of relative speeds. This is for an observer who is on the edge of the river he can see how the river moves to the left and the woman tries to move to the right but can not since:

$V_{total}=-3+2.5\\V_{total}=-0.5 [m/s]$

That is, the person sees how the woman moves to the left but with avelocity of 0.5 [m/s] to the left

A 3.35 kg object initially moving in the positive x direction with a velocity of 4.90 m s collides with and sticks to a 1.88 kg

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The final components of velocity of the composite object is 3.33 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first object, m₁ = 3.35 kg

initial velocity of the first object, u₁ = 4.90 m/s in positive x-direction

mass of the second object, m₂ = 1.88 kg

initial velocity of the second object, u₂ = 3.12 m/s in negative y-direction

initial momentum of the first object, P₁ = 3.35 x 4.9 = 16.415 kgm/s

initial momentum of the second object, P₂ = 1.88 x 3.12 = 5.8656 kgm/s

The resultant velocity of the two objects is given by;

R² = 16.415² + 5.8656²

R² = 303.858

R = √303.858

R = 17.432 kgm/s

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;

total initial momentum before = total final momentum after collision

P₁(x) + P₂(y) = Pf

R = Pf

R = v(m₁ + m₂)

17.432 = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is the final components of velocity of the composite object

$v = \frac{17.432}{m_1 + m_2} \\\\v = \frac{17.432}{3.35+1.88} \\\\v = 3.33 \ m/s$

Therefore, the final components of velocity of the composite object is 3.33 m/s.
