Describe two ways in which heat is transported in the biosphere

Physics
1 answer:
Trava [24]4 years ago
7 0

Answer and Explanation:

Warm air tends to rise, and cold air tends to fall, consequently, the hot air of the equator rises and at the same time the cold air of the poles descends to the ground. This generates wind currents that displace heat throughout the atmosphere.

The movement of water creates ocean currents that transport energy heat up the biosphere. Surface ocean currents heat or cool the air above

Josie is running her first cross country meet. The race is a distance of 5 km and she has set a goal to finish the race in 21 mi
frutty [35]

Answer:

3.97 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the distance covered per unit time. Therefore, s=d÷t=d/t

Where d is distance and t is time

Given distance of 5 km and time of 21 minutes the speed would be given by dividing 5 km by 21 min. However, speed is expressed as km/h or m/s or miles per hour etc. So we nees to get our speed in one of these standard units.

Going for m/s

Conversion

1 km has 1000m hence

5 km=5*1000=5000m

1 min has 60 seconds hence

21 min=21*60=1260 s

Speed=5000m÷1260s=3.9682539682538 m/s

Rounded off, s=3.97 m/s

A television channel is assigned the frequency range from 54 MHz to 60 MHz. A series RLC tuning circuit in a TV receiver resonat
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

A.) L = 0.37 μH  B) 7.61 Ω

Explanation:

A) At resonance, the circuit behaves like it were purely resistive , so the reactance value must be 0.

So, the following condition must be met:

ω₀*L = 1/ (ω₀*C) ⇒ ω₀² = 1/LC

We know that, for a sinusoidal source, there exists a fixed relationship between the angular frequency ω₀ and the frequency f₀, as follows:

ω₀ = 2*π*f₀

⇒ (2*π*f₀)² = 1/(L*C)

Replacing by the givens (f₀, C), we can solve for L:

L = 1 /((2*π*f₀)²*C) = 1/(2*π*57*10⁶)² Hz²*21*10⁻¹² f = 0.37 μH

b) At resonance, the current can be expressed as follows:

I₀ = V/Z = V/R

We need to find the minimum value of R that satisfies the following equation:

I = 0.5 I₀ = 0.5 V/R = V/Z

⇒ 0.5/R = 1/√(R²+X²)

Squaring both sides , we have:

(0.5)²/R² = 1/ (R²+X²)

⇒ 0.25 (R²+X²) = R² ⇒ R² = X² / 3

We need to find the value of R that satisfies the requested condition througout the frequency range.

So, we need to find out the value of the reactance X in the lowest and highest frequency, as follows:

Xlow = ωlow * L - 1/(ωlow*C)

⇒ Xlow = ( (2*π*54*10⁶)*0.37*10⁻⁶) - 1/ ((2*π*54*10⁶)*21*10⁻¹²) = -14.81Ω

Xhi = ωhi * L - 1/(ωhi*C)

⇒ Xhi = ( (2*π*60*10⁶)*0.37*10⁻⁶) - 1/ ((2*π*60*10⁶)*21*10⁻¹²) = 13.18Ω

For these reactance values, we can find the corresponding values of R as follows:

Rlow² = Xlow²/3 = (-14.81)²/3 = 75Ω² ⇒ Rlow = 8.55 Ω

Rhi² = Xhi² / 3 = (13.18)²/3 =  56.33Ω² ⇒Rhi =  7.61 Ω

The minimum value of R that satisfies the requested condition is R= 7.61ΩΩ.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: An increase in carbon dioxide will occur in the atmosphere because there are less trees to use the gas in the process of photosynthesis.

Explanation: Photosynthesis can be simply defined as a process where green plants uses minerals from the soil, water and carbon dioxide to produce their own food (energy-rich organic compound/starch) while oxygen is released into the environment.

On the other hand, Human beings and other animals inhales the oxygen released into the environment by green plants and breath out carbon dioxide.

Deforestation is the permanent removal trees either for commercial or household use or in some cases, to make room or space for other activities or development.

Now when these trees (green plants) are permanently cut down without replacement, humans and other animals continuously exhale carbon dioxide and there will be little or no green plants (trees) available to convert this carbon dioxide into oxygen.

Hence, there will be an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as their are little or no tress to use the gas (carbon dioxide) in the process of photosynthesis.
