Answer: The depletion of the ozone layer is due to CFC (chloro fluoro carbon) which is widely used in air conditioner and refrigeration.

Explanation:

Ozone layer prevents the harmful radiation from entering the earth's surface.

Ultraviolet radiation is very harmful radiation. Exposure of this radiation can cause Skin cancer. It is the main cause of the sunburn.

The depletion of the ozone layer is due to CFC (chloro fluoro carbon) which is widely used in air conditioner and refrigeration.

CFC is broken down by ultraviolet radiation. Then, the chlorine is released. This chlorine reacts with oxygen. In this way, it destroys the ozone molecule.

An airplane is moving at 350 km/hr. If a bomb is

bogdanovich [222]

Answers:

a) -171.402 m/s

b) 17.49 s

c) 1700.99 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

$y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

$x=V_{ox}t$ (2)

$V_{f}=V_{oy}-gt$ (3)

Where:

$y=0 m$ is the bomb's final height

$y_{o}=1.5 km \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=1500 m$ is the bomb's initial height

$V_{oy}=0 m/s$ is the bomb's initial vertical velocity, since the airplane was moving horizontally

$t$ is the time

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

$x$ is the bomb's range

$V_{ox}=350 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1 h}{3600 s}=97.22 m/s$ is the bomb's initial horizontal velocity

$V_{f}$ is the bomb's final velocity

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

With the conditions given above, equation (1) is now written as:

$y_{o}=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (4)

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}$ (5)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1500 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (6)

$t=17.49 s$ (7)

<h3>a) Final velocity </h3>

Since $V_{oy}=0 m/s$ , equation (3) is written as:

$V_{f}=-gt$ (8)

$V_{f}=-(97.22)(17.49 s)$ (9)

$V_{f}=-171.402 m/s$ (10) The negative sign only indicates the direction is downwards

<h3>c) Range </h3>

Substituting (7) in (2):

$x=(97.22 m/s)(17.49 s)$ (11)

$x=1700.99 m$ (12)

If the air temperature is greater than the surface (water or land) temperature, there will be a net transfer of thermal energy f

ruslelena [56]

The thermal energy will be transferred from the air to the surface. Hence, the answer is false.

Thermal energy can be transferred from higher temperatures to lower temperatures. It is obey the second law of thermodynamics

"At a very microscopic level, it simply says that if you have a system that is isolated, any natural process in that system progresses in the direction of increasing disorder, or entropy, of the system."

It means that heat energy transferred from the higher temperature and the lower temperature states will absorb heat energy from the surrounding. The thermal energy will be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.

A 234.0 g piece of lead is heated to 86.0oC and then dropped into a calorimeter containing 611.0 g of water that initally is at

Vaselesa [24]

Answer: $24.70 ^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given

mass of lead piece $m_l=234 gm\approx 0.234 kg$

mass of water in calorimeter $m_w=611 gm\approx 0.611 kg$

Initial temperature of water $T_w=24^{\circ}C$

Initial temperature of lead piece $T_l=24^{\circ}C$

we know heat capacity of lead and water are $125.604 J/kg-k$ and $4.184 kJ/kg-k$ respectively

Let us take $T ^{\circ}C$ be the final temperature of the system

Conserving energy

heat lost by lead=heat gained by water

$m_lc_l(T_l-T)=m_wc_w(T-T_w)$

$0.234\times 125.604(86-T)=0.611\times 4.184\times 1000(T-24)$

$86-T=\frac{0.611\times 4.184\times 1000}{29.391}(T-24)$

$86-T=86.97T-2087.49$

$T=\frac{2173.491}{87.97}=24.70^{\circ}C$

A well-insulated cup of water is too hot to make tea, so you mixed it with an equal amount of cool water to lower the temperatur

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:The change in entropy of the total amount of water is negative as a result of the mixing.

Explanation:If you increase temperature, you increase entropy

Also More energy gives you greater entropy and randomness of the atoms.

When two resistors are wired in series with a 12 V battery, the current through the battery is 0.33 A. When they are wired in pa

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Explanation:

R₁ = Resistance of first resistor

R₂ = Resistance of second resistor

V = Voltage of battery = 12 V

I = Current = 0.33 A (series)

I = Current = 1.6 A (parallel)

In series

$\text{Equivalent resistance}=R_{eq}=R_1+R_2\\\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{0.33}\\\Rightarrow R_1+R_2=36.36\\ Also\ R_1=36.36-R_2$

In parallel

$\text{Equivalent resistance}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\Rightarrow {R_{eq}=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}$

$\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}=7.5\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{36.36}=7.5\\\Rightarrow R_1R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow(36.36-R_2)R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow R_2^2-36.36R_2+272.72=0$

Solving the above quadratic equation

$\Rightarrow R_2=\frac{36.36\pm \sqrt{36.36^2-4\times 272.72}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow R_2=25.78\ or\ 10.57\\ If\ R_2=25.78\ then\ R_1=36.36-25.78=10.58\ \Omega\\ If\ R_2=10.57\ then\ R_1=36.36-10.57=25.79\Omega$

∴ If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm
