What are greenhouse gasses? How does carbon dioxide enter the atmosphere? (Site 1)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range

Explanation:

Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.

Answer 2

Answer and explanation:

Greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, water vapor, fluorinated gases, nitrous oxide, methane, and others. Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere by respiration of plants, animals, and microbes. Plants also remove carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. The net result is that plants remove more carbon dioxide than they contribute. Microbes and fungi that decompose plants and animals also return the carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. These are all ways nature cycles carbon. Humans contribute carbon dioxide to the atmosphere when we burn wood, solid waste, and fossil fuels. When forests are burned to clear land, not only does the burning release carbon dioxide, but it eliminates trees that would otherwise be removing carbon dioxide by photosynthesis. Most of the human contribution is from burning fossil fuels in electrical power plants that burn coal or natural gas and in vehicles that run on petroleum products. Other industrial processes also contribute carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, but to a lesser extent.

Which statement is true about the loudness of a sound?

A.) it is directly proportional to the distance of the listener from the source.

B.) it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the listener from the source.

C.) it is directly proportional to the square of the distance between the listener from the source.

D.) it is inversely proportional to the distance between the listener from the source.

Answers

Answer:

The Answer is B

Explanation: The loudness is shared among the listener and source

Answer : The correct option is, (B)

Explanation :

There is a direct relation between the loudness of sound and the intensity of sound.

[tex]L=10 log \frac{I}{Ia} }[/tex]  ..........(1)

where,

L = loudness of sound

I = intensity of sound

= intensity of reference

From this we conclude that the loudness is directly proportional to the intensity of the sound.

There is an indirect relation between the intensity of sound and the distance of the listener from the source.

[tex]\frac{I_1 }{I_2 } = (\frac{d_1}{d_2} )^{2}[/tex]   ...................(2)

From this we conclude that the intensity of sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the listener from the source.

From equation (1) and (2) we conclude that the loudness of sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the listener from the source.

Hence, the correct option is, (B)

Answers

Answer:

Polygenic because a trait is controlled by three different  genes

Explanation:

In the given question, the diagram of the question is not found anywhere therefore the question has been answered based on previous knowledge.

The traits of an organism are determined by the sequences of nucleotide present on the DNA called genes. One gene-one protein hypothesis suggests that usually one trait is determined by 2 alleles of a gene but there are few traits which are either determined or influenced by more than one gene.

These traits are known as the polygenic trait as the traits are controlled by more than one or "poly (many) genes" like human eye color, height, and others.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

Polygenic because a trait is controlled by three different  genes

Think about the oscillation of the toy shown in the video. when the toy is at the highest point of its motion, its velocity is _____ and its acceleration is _____.

Answers

Answer: i dont really get what u are asking but here is what im guessing u mean.

Explanation:Refer to the diagram shown below.

m = 50 g = 0.05 kg, the mass of the ball

A = 6 cm = 0.06 m, the amplitude

The oscillatory motion relative to the equilibrium position is

x(t) = A cos(ωt)

where

x =  displacement at time t

A = amplitude, 0.06 m

ω = circular frequency

Therefore

x(t) = A cos(ωt)

The velocity function is

v(t) = - ωA sin(ωt)

The maximum velocity occurs when sin(ωt) = 1. Because the maximum velocity is 3.2 m/s, therefore

(ω 1/s)*(0.06 m) = (3.2 m/s)

w = 53.33 1/s

Therefore

x(t) = 0.06 cos(53.33t)

v(t) = 3.2 sin(53.33t)

When the spring is compressed by 4.5 cm (0.045 m) from the equilibrium position, then

0.06 cos(53.33t) = -0.045

cos(53.33t) = -0.75

53.33t = cos⁻¹ (-0.75) = 2.4189

t = 0.0454 s

The velocity when t = 0.0454 s is

v = 3.2 sin(53.33*0.0454) = 2.111 m/s

The kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2)*m*v²

    = 0.5*(0.05 kg)*(2.111 m/s)²

    = 0.1114 J

Answer:  0.1114 J

When the toy is at the highest point of its motion, its velocity is zero and its acceleration is negative.

Why is acceleration 0 at the highest point?

Any projectile's instantaneous speed at its maximum height is zero. Because gravity gives the ball the same acceleration on the way up as it does on the way down, the time it takes to reach maximum altitude is the same as the time it takes to return to its launch position.

Because of the -ve acceleration along the vertical direction, velocity decreases until it reaches zero.

The velocity of a projectile is zero at its highest point. A projectile's acceleration is zero at its highest point.

When going up, the acceleration is negative because the speed is decreasing. When going down, the acceleration is negative because it is moving in the opposite direction, down.

Thus, When the toy is at the highest point of its motion, its velocity is zero and its acceleration is negative.

In the formula V =E ^b d ^a, if V, E and d are the velocity longitudinal waves, bulk modulus of elasticity and density of the gaseous medium respectively, then calculate the values of a and b

Answers

Answer:

[tex]b=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and [tex]a=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

The velocity longitudinal waves depends on the bulk modulus and the density. It is given by the formula:

[tex]V=\sqrt{\frac{\beta }{\rho} }[/tex]

Where V is the velocity , β is the bulk modulus and ρ is the density.

[tex]V=\sqrt{\frac{\beta }{\rho} }\\V=\frac{\beta^\frac{1}{2} }{\rho^\frac{1}{2} } \\V=\beta^\frac{1}{2} \rho^-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore comparing with [tex]V =E ^b d ^a[/tex], where V, E and d are the velocity longitudinal waves, bulk modulus of elasticity and density, the values of b and a can be gotten.

Therefore, [tex]b=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and [tex]a=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The organisms Rachel see are all inter dependent on one another to survive in the form of a food chain. This relationship helps the swamp ecosystem thrive.

Explanation:

In this swamp ecosystem, the Sandhill crane relies on the fishes for food, Some of the fishes rely on the algae or the snail for food and the snail also rely on the algae for food. This relationship not only serves to nourish the organism above the food chain but serves a general purpose of controlling the ecosystem. The absence of one or more of these organisms, say the algae can offset the ecosystem in a chain reaction that might go as far as affecting the cranes. Also, the absence of algae feeders can lead to an algae boom which might overpower the oxygen concentration in the pond further killing other organisms in the pond that need oxygen for respiration.

At t= 0, a particle moving in the xy plane with constant acceleration has a velocity of Vi= (3.00i -2.00j) m/s and is at the origin. At t= 3.00 s, the particle's velocity is V = (9.00i + 7.00j) m/s . Find (a) the acceleration of the particle and (b) its coordinates at any time t.

Answers

Answer:

(a) a = (2i + 4.5j) m/s^2

(b) r = ro + vot + (1/2)at^2

Explanation:

(a) The acceleration of the particle is given by:

[tex]\vec{a}=\frac{\vec{v}-\vec{v_o}}{t}\\\\[/tex]

vo: initial velocity = (3.00i -2.00j) m/s

v: final velocity = (9.00i + 7.00j) m/s

t = 3s

by replacing the values of the vectors and time you obtain:

[tex]\vec{a}=\frac{1}{3s}[(9.00-3.00)\hat{i}+(7.00-(-2.00))\hat{j}]\\\\\vec{a}=(2\hat{i}+4.5\hat{j})m/s^2[/tex]

(b) The position vector is given by:

[tex]\vec{r}=\vec{r_o}+\vec{v_o}t+\frac{1}{2}\vec{a}t^2[/tex]

where vo = (3.00i -2.00j) m/s and a = (2.00i + 4.50j)m/s^2
