What produces the wavy effect in air over a hot stove

1 answer:

8 0

The reason that things look wavy in the heat over a hot grill or stove is that the air temperature is not stable. Hot air naturally rises, so as air comes off the hot surface, it rises for a bit before rapidly cooling and sinking to be heated again. This constant mixing of hot and cool air produces vibration. This vibration affects how we see the light moving through the air, making it look wavy.

A pilot heads his jet due east. The jet has a speed of 475 mi/h relative to the air. The wind is blowing due north with a speed

oksian1 [2.3K]

Explanation:

a. The velocity of the wind as a vector in component form will be represented as v vector:

$v=30j$

b.The velocity of the jet relative to the air as a vector in component form will be represented as u vector

$u=475i$

c. The true velocity of the jet as a vector will be represented as w:

$w=u+v$

$w=475i+30j$

d. The true speed of the jet will be calculated as:

$IwI=\sqrt{(475)^2+(30)^2}$

$IwI=\sqrt{225625+900}$

$IwI=\sqrt{226525}$

$IwI=476 mi/h$

e. The direction of the jet will be:

$tita=tan^{-1}\frac{30}{475}$

$tita=tan^{-1}(0.0632)$

$tita=3.62degrees,or,N86.38degreesS$

Explain: What happens to the velocity of a stream as the size of the sediment increases?

artcher [175]

Answer:

Also, as stream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making the stream more free flowing. Both of these factors lead to an increase in stream velocity. The increased velocity and the increased cross-sectional area mean that discharge increases.

Write a statement about the relationship between

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:Just as wavelength and frequency are related to light, they are also related to energy. The shorter the wavelengths and higher the frequency corresponds with greater energy. So the longer the wavelengths and lower the frequency results in lower energy.

Explanation:So, if the wavelength of a light wave is shorter, that means that the frequency will be higher because one cycle can pass in a shorter amount of time. ... That means that longer wavelengths have a lower frequency. Conclusion: a longer wavelength means a lower frequency, and a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency!

Extra explanation: All waves can be defined in terms of their frequency and intensity. c = λν expresses the relationship between wavelength and frequency.
