Answer:
Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.
Explanation:
When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.
Explanation:
P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake, the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.
Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.

This problems a perfect application for this acceleration formula:
Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)² .
During the speeding-up half: 1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²
During the slowing-down half: 1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²
Pick either half, and divide each side by 0.65 m/s²:
T² = (1600 m) / (0.65 m/s²)
T = square root of (1600 / 0.65) seconds
Time for the total trip between the stations is double that time.
T = 2 √(1600/0.65) = <em>99.2 seconds</em> (rounded)
Answer:
7,546 J
Explanation:
recall that Potential energy is given by
P.E = mgΔh
where m = 70kg (given)
g = 9.8 m/s² (acceleration due to gravity)
Δh = change in height
= distance from top of building to top of car
= height of building - height of car
= (5+8) - 2
= 11m
substituting all these into the equation:
P.E = mgΔh
= 70 x 9.8 x 11
= 7,546 J
