Earth's greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet.

Answer:

The answer to this problem is D.

Explanation:

Firstly, light from the sun passes through Earth's atmosphere to reach Earth's surface and heat the planet. However, some of this light is radiated back into space in the form of infrared radiation. This radiation is trapped by Earth's greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing Earth's surface to heat up. For this reason, choice D makes the most sense.

A stack of 10 pennies weighing 26.55 grams is placed in a graduated cylinder containing water. The initial volume of water is 50
BigorU [14]
In order to determine the density of an item, we will need to determine its mass and volume. The standard unit for measuring mass in a lab is the gram. Think about liquids- what units do you typically report the volume of a liquid in? What about for a sugar cube, what volume is the most appropriate?
A regular object like a sugar cube can be measured with a ruler so we might report the volume in centimeters cubed (cm3). An irregular object like the plate pictured below can be measured by using a technique called volume by displacement. A liquid (typically water) is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume of a liquid is measured. Then the irregular object is placed in the liquid and the volume is measured again. The change in volume is the irregular object’s volume. This measurement is often made using a graduated cylinder and recording a volume in Liters or milliliters (mL).

Properties of iron, barium, and phosphorus. Explain why nails are made of iron but they are never made of barium or phosphorus.
bearhunter [10]

Nails are made up of iron not of phosphorus and barium.  

As both phosphorous and barium are relatively weaker than iron ,phosphorus breaks easily and barium is also fairly weak. Iron nails are already also not that strong, but their weight and strength are sufficient.  

So the nails are made up of iron.
