The greenhouse effect can be explained easily if you understand the laws of blackbody radiation. a greenhouse gas blocks the transmission of infrared light. given that the incoming light to earth is sunlight with a characteristic temperature of 5800 k (which peaks in the visible part of the spectrum) and the outgoing light from earth has a characteristic temperature of about 300 k (which peaks in the infrared part of the spectrum), explain how greenhouse gases cause earth to warm up. as part of your answer, discuss that greenhouse gases block both incoming and outgoing infrared light. explain why these two effects don’t simply cancel each other, leading to no net temperature change.

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. you are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. assume that your reaction time is 0.50s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. how far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? what acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? how long does it take you to stop after the light changes? the known values: vi=20m/s xi=110m t=.50s vf=0m/s xf=0m a=?
