How do greenhouse gasses help warm the planet?

Physics
1 answer:
Morgarella [4.7K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other gases that accumulate in the atmosphere and create the heat-reflective layer that keeps the Earth at a livable temperature. These gases form the insulation that keeps the planet warm enough to support life.

The minimum frequency of light needed to eject electrons from a metal is called the threshold frequency, ????0 . Find the minimu
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Threshold frequency = 4.17 x 10¹⁴ Hz .

minimum energy required = hν where h is plank's constant and ν is frequency .

E = 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 4.17 x 10¹⁴

= 27.52 x 10⁻²⁰ J .

wavelength of radiation falling = 245 x 10⁻⁹ m

Energy of this radiation = hc / λ

c is velocity of light and  λ  is wavelength of radiation .

= 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 245 x 10⁻⁹

= .08081 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

= 80.81 x 10⁻²⁰ J

kinetic energy of electrons ejected = energy of falling radiation - threshold energy

= 80.81 x 10⁻²⁰  - 27.52 x 10⁻²⁰

= 53.29 x 10⁻²⁰ J .

A proposed communication satellite would revolve around the earth in a circular orbit in the equatorial plane at a height of 358
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Period is 86811.5 seconds.

Explanation:

{ \boxed{ \bf{T {}^{2} =  (\frac{4 {\pi}^{2} }{GM}) {r}^{3}   }}}

{ \tt{T {}^{2}  =  \frac{4 {(3.14)}^{2} }{(6.6 \times  {10}^{ - 11} ) \times (5.98 \times  {10}^{24} )} \times  {((35880\times  {10}^{3}) } + (6370 \times  {10}^{3} )) {}^{3}   }} \\  \\ { \tt{T {}^{2}  =  7.54 \times {10}^{9} }} \\ { \tt{T =  \sqrt{7.54 \times  {10}^{9} } }} \\ { \tt{T = 86811.5 \: seconds}}

Questions are in the picture ^ (please answer separately)
Klio2033 [76]
A: The battery is a store of internal energy (shown as chemical energy). The energy is transferred through the wires to the lamp, which then transfers the energy to the surroundings as light. These are the useful energy transfers - we use electric lamps to light up our rooms.

B: In the case of the light bulb the 95J of energy transferred as heat is wasted energy as it is not useful because the purpose of the device is to produce light.

Levart [38]
<span>The apartment’s explosion, reportedly caused by a gas leak, produced a violent release of gas and heat. the heat increased the temperature of the air in the room, which means an increase in the air's molecular kinetic energy.

When heat leaves a system, that energy is transferred to its surroundings. Since the air is the surroundings, the heat is transferred to the air increasing the temperature. This causes an increase in the individual air molecules' energy.</span>
