Answer:

The calming down of trade winds in the Pacific, which leads to the buildup of warm water

Explanation:

El Niño is the climate condition that occurs when the top part of the Pacific Ocean comes in contact with the atmosphere above it. It causes the water of the Pacific Ocean to become warmer because the trade winds are becoming more calmer.

El Niño is warm stage or period of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation.

The effects of El Niño on the environment includes; flooding,severe drought, break out of fire incidents, heat stress e.t.c

How do we get heat on Earth? Does thermal energy travel directly from the sun?

ExtremeBDS [4]

We get heat on earth from the sun. Energy from the sun is transferred through space and through earths atmosphere to the earths surface. And since this warms the earth surface it creates heat.

light of a wavelength 600 nm shines on a soap bubble film. For what soap film thickness will destructive interference occur

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is 225.56 nm.

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of light, λ = 600 nm

The minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is given by;

$t = \frac{\lambda/n}{2}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}$

where;

n is refractive index of soap film = 1.33

$t = \frac{\lambda}{2n} \\\\t = \frac{600*10^{-9}}{2(1.33)}\\\\t = 2.2556 *10^{-7} \ m\\\\t = 225.56 *10^{-9} \ m\\\\t = 225.56 \ nm$

Therefore, the minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is 225.56 nm.

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1,500 kg car that is moving at a speed of 42 km/h

Rzqust [24]

Data:
KE (Kinetic Energy) = ? (Joule)
m (mass) = 1500 Kg
v (speed) = 42 Km/h
converting to m/s (42 / 3.6), we have: v (speed) = 11.6 m/s

Formula:
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2$

Solving:
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2$
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} *1500*(11.6)^2$
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} *1500*134.56$
$K_{E} = \frac{201840}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{K_{E} = 100920\:Joule}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
