How does an atmosphere change the temperature of a planet?

Physics
2 answers:
Alenkinab [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The atmosphere changes the temperature of the planet because of its transparency.

On Earth, sunlight reaches the Earth, which warms it. On a planet such as Jupiter, the planet is entirely surrounded in a thick and toxic gas. This limits the amount of sunlight that can reach the surface, which also decreases the temperature.

The existence of atmosphere increases the average planetary temperature by more than 15°C, due to the greenhouse effect of some atmospheric compounds. The most important of them are water vapour (H2O), ozone (O3), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4).

A car is moving from rest and attained a velocity of 80 m/s. Calculate the acceleration of the car after 5 s?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

400 m/s

Explanation:

If it is moving at a velocity of 80 m/s from rest, then after 5 s it would be at 400 m/s.

80 x 5 = 400

F. If the shuttle's period is synchronized with that of Earth's rotation, what is the height of the shuttle? (1 day = 8.64x104s,
oee [108]

Answer:

1.324 × 10⁷ m

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration, a at that height above the earth equal the acceleration due to gravity, g' at that height, h.

Let R be the radius of the orbit where R = RE + h, RE = radius of earth = 6.4 × 10⁶ m.

We know a = Rω² and g' = GME/R² where ω = angular speed = 2π/T where T = period of rotation = 1 day = 8.64 × 10⁴s (since the shuttle's period is synchronized with that of the Earth's rotation), G = gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², ME = mass of earth = 6 × 10²⁴ kg. Since a = g', we have

Rω² = GME/R²

R(2π/T)² = GME/R²

R³ = GME(T/2π)²

R = ∛(GME)(T/2π)²

RE + h = ∛(GMET²/4π²)

h = ∛(GMET²/4π²) - RE

substituting the values of the variables, we have

h = ∛(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² × 6 × 10²⁴ kg × (8.64 × 10⁴s)²/4π²) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛(2,987,477 × 10²⁰/4π² Nm²s²/kg) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛75.67 × 10²⁰ m³ - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛(7567 × 10¹⁸ m³) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = 19.64 × 10⁶ m - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = 13.24 × 10⁶ m

h = 1.324 × 10⁷ m

What does it mean when work is positive?
Degger [83]

Answer:

To have a positive job, the two vectors must have the same direction

Explanation:

Work is a scalar defined as the scalar product of two vectors, the froce and the displacement. To have a positive job, the two vectors must have  

collinear and that their arrows point in the same direction.

You can also appreciate this from the work equation

       W = F. r

bold indicate vector

      W = F  r cos θ

 

With θ the angle between force and displacement
