How does the greenhouse effect work? greenhouse gases directly warm oceans and cause dramatic weather. greenhouse gases absorb the sun's energy, slowing or preventing heat from escaping into space. oceans absorb greenhouse gases, which cause the earth's temperature to rise. greenhouse gases reflect the sun's energy causing it to warm the earth.

Two conductors, a and b, are each in the shape of a tetrahedron. but of different sizes. they are charged in the following manner: 1. tetrahedron a is charged from an electrostatic generator to charge q. 2. tetrahedron a is briefly touched to tetrahedron b. 3. steps 1 and 2 are repeated until the charge on tetrahedron b reaches a maximum value. if the charge on tetrahedron b was q/4 after the first time it touched tetrahedron a. what is the final charge qbmax on tetrahedron b?
