Plz help =)

A temperature inversion happens when a _____ air layer traps pollution close to the surface of the earth.

LenaWriter [7]

When warm air layer traps pollution that is within the earth's surface, a temperature inversion usually takes place. In addition, at temperature inversion happens when the cold air overlays the warm air in the troposphere, which does not usually happen since warm air rises and cold air sinks by principle.

Calculate the angle for the third-order maximum of 580-nm wavelength yellow light falling on double slits separated by 0.100 mm.

alekssr [168]

Answer: The angle of diffraction is 0.498°

Explanation:

To calculate the angle of diffraction, we use the equation given by Bragg, which is:

$n\lambda =2d\sin \theta$

where,

n = order of diffraction = 3

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the light = $580nm=5.80\times 10^{-7}m$ (Conversion factor: $1m=10^{9}nm$ )

d = spacing between the crystal planes = 0.100 mm = $1.0\times 10^{-4}$ (Conversion factor: 1 m = 1000 mm)

$\theta$ = angle of diffraction = ?

Putting values in above equation:

$3\times 5.80\times 10^{-7}=2\times 1.00\times 10^{-4}\sin \theta\\\\\sin \theta = 0.0087\\\\\theta=\sin ^{-1} (0.0087)=0.498$

Hence, the angle of diffraction is 0.498°

In this lab you will use a cart and track to explore various aspects of motion. You will measure and record the time it takes th

Keith_Richards [23]

It is given that by using track and cart we can record the time and the distance travelled and also the speed of the cart can be recorded. With all this data we can solve questions on the laws of motion.

Like using the first law of motion we can determine the force of gravity acting on the cart that has moved a certain distance and the velocity or the speed of card has already been registered and since time is known putting the values in formula would help us calculate the gravitational pull acting on cart.

Most of the really bright stars in our sky are NOT among the stars that are very close to us. Why then do they look so bright to

Yanka [14]

Answer:

stars will emit more light due to their Luminosity, so they look very bright.

Explanation:

Luminous refers to..,

The total amount of energy radiated by a star or other celestial object per second.
Therefore it is the power output of a star.

Most of the really bright stars in our sky are not that very close to us yet they look bright because of the Luminosity of the star.

These stars are intrinsically so luminous.

A star's power output across all wavelengths is called its bolometric luminosity.

A star with large luminosity will have more measure of radiated electromagnetic power meaning.

so it will emit more light than a low luminosity star.

Hence,

those stars can easily be seen even across great distance.

A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oF. The air undergoes a process to a state where the

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The work and heat transfer for this process is = 270.588 kJ

Explanation:

Take properties of air from an ideal gas table. R = 0.287 kJ/kg-k

The Pressure-Volume relation is PV = C

T = C for isothermal process

Calculating for the work done in isothermal process

W = P₁V₁ $ln[\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }]$

= mRT₁ $ln[\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }]$ [∵pV = mRT]

= (5) (0.287) (272.039) $ln[\frac{2.0}{1.0}]$

= 270.588 kJ

Since the process is isothermal, Internal energy change is zero

ΔU = $mc_{v}(T_{2} - T_{1} ) = 0$

From 1st law of thermodynamics

Q = ΔU + W

= 0 + 270.588

= 270.588 kJ
