astra-53 [7]

Answer:

909.1 m

Explanation:

Rate of temperature increase with 100 m elevation = 1°C

h = Maximum Height

Adiabatic lapse rate = -0.65°C/100 m

We have the relation

$\dfrac{1^{\circ}C}{100}=\dfrac{15^{\circ}C}{h}+\left(-\frac{0.65}{100}\right)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1^{\circ}C}{100}+\left(-\frac{0.65}{100}\right)=\dfrac{15^{\circ}C}{h}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{15^{\circ}C}{1.65^{\circ}C}\times 100\\\Rightarrow h=909.1\ m$

The maximum height is 909.1 m

A 0.106-A current is charging a capacitor that has square plates 6.00 cm on each side. The plate separation is 4.00 mm. (a) Find

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The time rate of change of flux is $1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Explanation:

Given :

Current $I = 0.106$ A

Area of plate $A = 36 \times 10^{-4}$ $m^{2}$

Plate separation $d = 4 \times 10^{-3}$ m

(A)

First find the capacitance of capacitor,

$C = \frac{\epsilon _{o} A }{d}$

Where $\epsilon _{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

$C = \frac{8.85 \times 10^{-12 } \times 36 \times 10^{-4} }{4 \times 10^{-3} }$

$C = 7.9 \times 10^{-12}$ F

But $C = \frac{Q}{V}$

Where $Q = It$

$C = \frac{It}{V}$

$V = \frac{It}{C}$

Now differentiate above equation wrt. time,

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{I}{C}$

$= \frac{0.106}{7.9 \times 10^{-12} }$

$= 1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Therefore, the time rate of change of flux is $1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Why is the ocean warmer than the air at night

Sliva [168]

You see, during the day the ocean collects heat from the sun. So the air above the ocean get warm at night, but the rest of the air on the land gets cooler because water has the ability to collect energy from the Sun.
