The transfer of carbon to different spheres has taken place by:

Carbon has been the abundant atom in the earth. The carbon atom has been converted to different paths with different processes.

The following conversions take place:

From the atmosphere to the hydrosphere by diffusion.

From the atmosphere to the biosphere by photosynthesis.

From the atmosphere to the geosphere by rainfall.

Explanation:

Carbon atom goes from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere by the process of diffusion because there is high concentration of carbondioxide present in the atmosphere. The carbon atom goes from the atmosphere to the biosphere by the process of photosynthesis in plants which uses carbondioxide gas as a raw material in the process for the preparation of organic compounds such as glucose. The carbon atom goes from the atmosphere to the geosphere with the help of rain. When carbondioxide gas react with water in the atmosphere, carbonic acid is formed and comes to the ground through rainfall.

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j
