Physics
1 answer:
german1 year ago
3 0

Answer:

Temperature is the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

Explanation:

The more kinetic energy a particle has the higher it's temperature. In the case of the atmosphere, which is what we are primarily concerned with in Meteorology, we measure this using a mercury thermometer (in certain situations we use an alcohol thermometer and of course modern times have given us things like dewcells and digital thermometers but we always go back to the mercury thermometer for accuracy).

choli [55]

Answer:

They can be seen from a distance of 4.372 kilometers.

Explanation:

Using the Reyligh creterion for diffraction through a circular aperture we have

\frac{x}{D}=\frac{1.22\lambda }{d}

where symbol's have their usual meaning

thus applying values we get

D=\frac{dx}{1.22\lambda }

\therefore D=\frac{0.633\times 4.61\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 547\times 10^{-9}}\\\\D=4372.77m\\=4.372km

When does sea breeze occur
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven  heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day.  At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>

From the deepest to the surface, what are the parts of the earth's interior?
shepuryov [24]

The answer is A: Core --> Mantle --> Crust.

Core: The earth's core is the center of the earth, which would ultimately be the deepest. The core is made up of alloy, which is a mixture of many medals, such as iron and nickel.

Mantle: The earth's mantle is the layer between the earths crust and core. Often made of silicate rocks.

Crust: The earth's crust is the outer-most of the three options. Usually made of up different types of rocks.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(A) 10132.5Pa

(B)531kJ of energy

Explanation:

This is an isothermal process. Assuming ideal gas behaviour then the relation P1V1 = P2V2 holds.

Given

m = 10kg = 10000g, V1 = 0.1m³, V2 = 1.0m³

P1 = 101325Pa. M = 102.03g/mol

P2 = P1 × V1 /V2 = 101325 × 0.1 / 1 = 10132.5Pa

(B) Energy is transfered by the r134a in the form of thw work done in in expansion

W = nRTIn(V2/V1)

n = m / M = 10000/102.03 = 98.01mols

W = 98.01 × 8.314 × 283 ×ln(1.0/0.1)

= 531kJ.
