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

1 answer:

8 0

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:

The time travel is

t=8 s

Explanation:

$a= 2 \frac{m}{s^{2} } \\v=-6 \frac{m}{s} \\x=16m$

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}$

$x_{f}=0-6*t+\frac{1}{2} *2*t^{2}$

$t^{2}-6*t-16=0\\ using :\\\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*c*a } }{2} \\\frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4*(-16)*(1) } }{2}=\frac{3}{2} +/- \frac{10}{2} \\t_{1} = 2s \\t_{2} = 8s$
