Carbon is found in the solid form in geosphere of our earth. Coal and oil are some of the examples of materials containing carbon in the geosphere. when the coal or oil is burnt, carbon dioxide is formed and released in atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is absorbed by the water of the hydrosphere with the help of algae and plankton. The water turns acidic in nature. This way carbon is transferred from geosphere to hydrosphere.

Suppose a 20-foot ladder is leaning against a building, reaching to the bottom of a second-floor window 15 feet above the ground

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The answer is β=0,85 rads

Explanation:

As the ladder is leaning against the building, we can imagine there´s a triangle where 20ft is the hypotenuse and 15ft is the maximum vertical distance between the ladder and the ground, it means, the leg opposite to β which is the angle we need

Let β(betha) be the angle between the ladder and the ground

We also know that $sin(betha)=(leg opposite)/(hypotenuse)$

In this case we will need to find β, this way:

$betha=sin^-1((15ft/20ft))$

Then β=48,6°

We also have that 2πrads is equal to 360°, in this way we find how much β is in radians:

$betha=(48,6°)*(2pirads/360°)$

then we find β=0,85rads

MissTica

Answer: Tsunami.

Explanation :

Tsunami is the result of a sudden vertical offset in the ocean floor and is most often the result of plate movement on the ocean floor.

Tsunami is caused due to the displacement of a large volume of water like in an ocean. It consists of a series of waves. It destroys coastlines and coastal settlements. It is also known as a tidal wave.

So, the correct option is (b) Tsunami.

A 0.311 kg tennis racket moving 30.3 m/s east makes an elastic collision with a 0.0570 kg ball moving 19.2 m/s west. Find the ve

Troyanec [42]

The velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 0.311kg

u1 = 30.3m/s

m2 = 0.057kg

u2 = 19.2m/s

Since m2 is moving in opposite direction, u2 = -19.2m/s

Velocity of m1 after collision = ?

Let the velocity of m1 after collision be v

After collision the momentum is conserved.

Therefore,

m1u1 - m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

$v1 = (\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})u1 + (\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})u2$

$v1 = (\frac{0.311-0.057}{0.311+0.057})30.3 + (\frac{2 X 0.057}{0.311 + 0.057}) X-19.2\\\\v1 = (\frac{0.254}{0.368} )30.3 + (\frac{0.114}{0.368}) X -19.2\\ \\v1 = 20.91 - 5.95\\\\v1 = 14.96$

Therefore, the velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s
