Answer:

The temperature of the Earth depends on many factors, including the concentration of greenhouse gases such as water vapour, methane and carbon dioxide. The Earth's temperature also depends on the rates at which light radiation and infrared radiation are: absorbed by the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

Which of the following is fact-based science rather than part of a personal belief system?

marusya05 [52]

Since there are no choices, then this question calls for open-ended answers. Facts-based science must have proven underlying laws that support inferences such as Coulomb's Law, Kinetic Theory of Matter and many more. On the other hand, examples of science that focus on personal belief is philosophy. This depends on the perspective of known philosophers. An example would be Sigmund Freud who proposed the theory of 3 personalities. Although it is more on personal beliefs, this is used as a foundation in the study of psychology.

A planet with a mass one-half that of Earth has a radius that is 3 times that of Earth's radius. What is the gravitational field

stiv31 [10]

The gravitational acceleration of a planet is proportional to the planet's mass, and inversely proportional to square of the planet's radius.

So when you stand on the surface of this particular planet, you feel a force of gravity that is

(1/2) / (3²)

of the force that you feel on the surface of the Earth.

That's (1/18) as much as on Earth.

The acceleration of gravity there would be about 0.545 m/s².

This is about 12% less than the gravity on Pluto.

Bats have poor vision and use echo-location to find their way.The frequency produced by bats is 100kHz. If the speed of the soun

irga5000 [103]

The distance covered is 25.9 m.

We know that the speed of sound refers to the speed with which an sound moves in an object.

Given that;

speed of sound = 345m/s

Time taken = 0.15s

We know that;

v = 2d/t

v = speed of sound

d = distance

t = time taken

vt = 2d

d = vt/2

d = 345m/s * 0.15s/2

d = 25.9 m

Two cars A and B are moving with velocities 20 m/s and 15 m/s in the direction east and west respectively. If

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Distance between them is 4,200 meters.

Explanation:

Consinder car A:

${ \bf{distance = speed \times time }}$

substitute:

$distance = 20 \times (2 \times 60) \\ = 2400 \: m$

Consider car B:

$distance = 15 \times (2 \times 60) \\ = 1800 \: m$

since these cars move in opposite directions, distance between them is their summation:

$distance \: between = { \sum(distance \: of \: each \: car)} \\ = 2400 + 1800 \\ = 4200 \: m$
