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

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.

Answer:

156.67 m/s

0.45676 times the speed of sound

Explanation:

Distance from the ground = 23.5 km = 23500 m

Time taken by the blast waves to reach the ground = $2\ minutes\ 30\ seconds=2\times 60+30=150\ s$

Spedd of the wave would be

$Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}\\\Rightarrow v_b=\dfrac{23500}{150}\\\Rightarrow v-b=156.67\ m/s$

The velocity of the blast wave is 156.67 m/s

v = Velocity of sound = 343 m/s

$\dfrac{v_b}{v}=\dfrac{156.67}{343}\\\Rightarrow v_b=v\dfrac{156.67}{343}\\\Rightarrow v_b=0.45676v$

The blast wave is 0.45676 times the speed of sound

A mass of 10 g of oxygen fill a weighted pistonâ€“cylinder device at 20 kPa and 110Â°C. The device is now cooled until the tempe

mezya [45]

Answer:

The change of the volume of the device during this cooling is $14.3\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of oxygen = 10 g

Pressure = 20 kPa

Initial temperature = 110°C

Final temperature = 0°C

We need to calculate the change of the volume of the device during this cooling

Using formula of change volume

$\Delta V=V_{2}-V_{1}$

$\Delta V=\dfrac{mR}{P}(T_{2}-T_{1})$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta V=\dfrac{0.3125\times0.0821}{2.0265\times10^{9}}(383-273)$

$\Delta V=14.297\ L$

$\Delta V=14.3\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

Hence, The change of the volume of the device during this cooling is $14.3\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

If my weight on Earth is 140lbs, what is my mass?

SashulF [63]

Answer:

63.57 kg

Explanation:

weight = 140 lbs

Let the mass is m.

1 lbs = 4.45 N

The weight of an object is defined as the force with which our earth attracts the body towards its centre.

Weight is the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.

W = m x g

On earth surface g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now convert lbs in newton

So, 140 lbs = 140 x 4.45 = 623 N

So, m x 9.8 = 623

m = 63.57 kg

Thus, the mass is 63.57 kg.
