Atmosphere

Atmospheric gas from prehistoric eras is found trapped in glaciers in the form of bubbles. These gas bubbles are the basis of studying ice cores as they provide us with accurate estimates of the conditions of past climates. The bubbles allow us to determine the composition of atmospheric air, such as the carbon dioxide and methane concentrations, as well as allow us to determine air temperatures in the past.

I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done
Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and \alpha is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle \alpha.

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5

So:

|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846

So:

Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)

\alpha = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

\alpha = 313 °

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because
maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two  light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as E = mc^{2} where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

                                                      H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                      H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy

                                                      He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                       -----------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                        4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

Here e_{+1} ^{0} is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e 10^{6} K

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.

Marine science- question- what is climate change?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Defined below

Explanation:

Climate change is simply the long term change in the average weather patterns that are associated with the local, regional and global climates of the earth. Climate change is usually driven by human activities like burning of fossils; natural processes like cyclic ocean patterns; external factors like volcanic eruptions.

If 745-nm and 660-nm light passes through two slits 0.54 mm apart, how far apart are the second-order fringes for these two wave
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

0.82 mm

Explanation:

The formula for calculation an n^{th} bright fringe from the central maxima is given as:

y_n=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}

so for the distance of the second-order fringe when wavelength \lambda_1 = 745-nm can be calculated as:

y_2 = \frac{n \lambda_1 D}{d}

where;

n = 2

\lambda_1 = 745-nm

D = 1.0 m

d = 0.54 mm

substituting the parameters in the above equation; we have:

y_2 = \frac{2(745nm*\frac{10^{-9m}}{1.0nm}(1.0m) }{0.54 (\frac{10^{-3m}} {1.0mm})}

y_2 = 0.00276 m

y_2 = 2.76 × 10 ⁻³ m

The distance of the second order fringe when the wavelength \lambda_2 = 660-nm is as follows:

y^'}_2 = \frac{2(660nm*\frac{10^{-9m}}{1.0nm}(1.0m) }{0.54 (\frac{10^{-3m}} {1.0mm})}

y^'}_2 = 1.94 × 10 ⁻³ m

So, the distance apart the two fringe can now be calculated as:

\delta y = y_2-y^{'}_2

\delta y = 2.76 × 10 ⁻³ m - 1.94 × 10 ⁻³ m

\delta y = 10 ⁻³ (2.76 - 1.94)

\delta y = 10 ⁻³ (0.82)

\delta y = 0.82 × 10 ⁻³ m

\delta y =  0.82 × 10 ⁻³ m (\frac{1.0mm}{10^{-3}m} )

\delta y = 0.82 mm

Thus, the distance apart the second-order fringes for these two wavelengths = 0.82 mm
