A temperature inversion happens when a _____ air layer traps pollution close to the surface of the earth.

Physics

LenaWriter [7]4 years ago

When warm air layer traps pollution that is within the earth's surface, a temperature inversion usually takes place. In addition, at temperature inversion happens when the cold air overlays the warm air in the troposphere, which does not usually happen since warm air rises and cold air sinks by principle.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

 λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m,   UV laser

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the expression

         a sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

         tan θ = y / L

as in this phenomenon the angles are small

        tan θ = \frac{sin \ \theta}{cos \ \theta} = sin θ

        sin θ = y / L

we substitute

      a y / L = m  λ

let's apply this equation to the initial data

       a  0.04 / L = 1 600 10⁻⁹

       a / L = 1.5 10⁻⁵

now they tell us that we change the laser and we have y = 0.04 m for m = 2

      a 0.04 / L = 2  λ

       a / L = 50  λ

we solve the two expression is

         1.5 10⁻⁵ = 50  λ

          λ = 1.5 10⁻⁵ / 50

          λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m

seraphim [82]

Answer:

because

Explanation:

because we need eye to see if you don't have eyes how you regnise some one

if you have ears how can you know who's voice is who's

if don't have fingers how can you know what your are holding this is why they are called physical sensors

When the velocity of an object is doubled, by what factor is its momentum changed? By what factor is its kinetic energy changed?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 4 where as momentum would increase by a factor of 2.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is given by 0.5*mass*velocity^2. Kinetic Energy is proportional to Velocity^2.

Momentum is given by mass*velocity. Momentum is proportional to Velocity.

If the velocity of an object is doubled, Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 2^2 i.e 4 times. Momentum would increase by a factor of 2.

Two points charges are brought closer together,increasing the force between them by a factor of 25.By what factor wa their separ
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The separation between the charges was decreased by a factor of 0.2

Explanation:

The Coulomb's force between two charges is given by;

F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2} \\\\let \ kq^2 \ be \ constant\\\\F_1r_1^2 = F_2r_2^2\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{F_1r_1^2}{F_2} \\\\increasing \ the \ force \ between \ them \ by \ factor \ of \ 25\\\\(F_2 = 25F_1)\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{F_1r_1^2}{25F_1}\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{r_1^2}{25}\\\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{r_1^2}{25} }\\\\ r_2 = \frac{r_1}{5}

r₂ = 0.2r₁

Therefore, the separation between the charges was decreased by a factor of 0.2.
