Which explains the greenhouse effect?

a. greenhouse gases like water vapor and carbon dioxide release heat in the atmosphere, thereby radiating heat energy back into space.

b. greenhouse gases like water vapor and carbon dioxide trap heat in the atmosphere, thereby radiating heat energy back to the surface.

c. greenhouse gases like water vapor and carbon dioxide trap heat in the atmosphere, thereby radiating heat energy back into space.

d. greenhouse gases like water vapor and carbon dioxide trap heat in the atmosphere, thereby radiating heat energy back into space.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
