The oxygen isotopic composition of ocean water is measured by determining the ratio of 18O to 16O, expressed as 18O/16O. The iso

tope 16O preferentially evaporates into the atmosphere. During periods of global cooling, the 18O/16O ratio will:

Answer:

The ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio will decrease.

Explanation:

The  ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio changes as a result of temperature. When the climate is warm, the ¹⁶O evaporates first for being lighter than ¹⁸O. When the climate is cold, the ¹⁸O precipitates first for being heavier than ¹⁶O. Thus the cold regions are rich in ¹⁶O (have little ¹⁸O) and the tropics regions are rich in ¹⁸O (have little ¹⁶O). Hence, the ratio ¹⁸O/¹⁶O is high in warm areas (for the evaporation of  ¹⁶O) and lower in cold areas (for the precipitation of ¹⁸O).

Therefore, during periods of global cooling, the ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio will decrease.                    

I hope it helps you!

17. (a) Will the electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates exceed the breakdown strength for air ( 3.0×106
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance between plates d = 2 x 10⁻³m

Potential diff applied = 5 x 10³ V

Electric field = Potential diff applied /  d

= 5 x 10³  / 2 x 10⁻³

= 2.5 x 10⁶ V/m

This is less than  breakdown strength for air  3.0×10⁶ V/m

b ) Let the plates be at a separation of d .so

5 x 10³ / d = 3.0×10⁶ ( break down voltage )

d = 5 x 10³  / 3.0×10⁶

= 1.67 x 10⁻³ m

= 1.67 mm.

Three long parallel wires each carry 2.0-A currents in the same direction. The wires are oriented vertically, and they pass thro
blagie [28]

Answer:

21.2\times 10^{-6} T

Explanation:

i  = magnitude of current in each wire = 2.0 A

a  = length of the side of the square = 4 cm = 0.04 m

r  = length of the diagonal of the square = \sqrt{2} a = \sqrt{2} (0.04) = 0.057 m

B = magnitude of magnetic field by wires at A and C

B = \left ( \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi } \right )\left ( \frac{2i}{a} \right )

B = (10^{-7}) \left ( \frac{2(2)}{0.04} \right )

B = 10\times 10^{-6} T

B' = magnitude of magnetic field by wire at B

B' = \left ( \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi } \right )\left ( \frac{2i}{r} \right )

B' = (10^{-7}) \left ( \frac{2(2)}{0.057} \right )

B' = 7.02\times 10^{-6} T

Net magnitude of the magnetic field at D is given as

B_{net} = \sqrt{B^{2}+B^{2}} + B'

B_{net} = \sqrt{2} B + B'

B_{net} = \sqrt{2} (10\times 10^{-6}) + (7.02\times 10^{-6})

B_{net} = 21.2\times 10^{-6} T
