Bushfires in Australia have been worsening for more than two decades as escalating drought places pressure on forest resilience and recovery. Bushfires are likely to occur across Australia through at least March 2022 and are a typical feature of the summer and early fall in the country, particularly after long dry spells or during spans of extremely high temperatures. One time, there’s a bushfire occurred in Southeast Australia and the local government will put the fire out before it burns more land. They send an airplane used to drop water on brushfires and is flying horizontally in a straight line at 475 mi/h at an altitude of 630 ft. Determine the distance d at which the pilot should release the water so that it will hit the fire at B.
15. The consensus view among climate scientists is that the
above increase in global temperature is due to an increase
in atmospheric CO2 caused by human emissions. The
below plot is a record of the increase in CO2 measured
since 1960. A) What was the atmospheric CO2
concentration in 1960? B) How about in 2020? C) What do
you think causes the annual variations?

Explain.arrow_forwardWhat scientific evidence exists to support the relationship between human activity and climate change? It's critical to be aware of what to anticipate.arrow_forwardOne proposed method of mitigating climate change is the planting of large numbers of trees. How would this reduce the problem of global warming? Trees reflect additional sunlight back into space before it strikes the ground, reducing the global temperature. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and thereby reducing the greenhouse effect. Trees prevent soil erosion, and soil erosion contributes to the greenhouse effect. Trees release water vapor into the atmosphere, increasing the cloud cover and reducing the global temperature.arrow_forward
