Answer: Temperature inversion

Explanation: Temperature inversion is a reverse of the normal temperature flow or distribution of the air,it usually causes temperature to rise as altitude increase towards the troposphere instead of reduction of temperature.

Temperature inversion is caused when warm,dense air flow above cold,less dense air. Temperature inversion is hazardous to man as it traps pollutants close to the Earth surface,this condition limits vertical circulation.

An object of height 2.7 cm is placed 29 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 16 cm. Behind the diverging lens, and 12
kati45 [8]

Answer:

A)  q = -8.488 cm ,  B)  m = 0.29

Explanation:

A) For this exercise in geometric optics, we will use the equation of the constructor

          \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} +  \frac{1}{q}

where p and q are the distance to the object and image, respectively and f is the focal length

in our case the distance the object is p = 29 cm the focal length of a diverging lens is negative and indicates that it is f = - 12 cm

         \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{p}

     

we calculate

          \frac{1}{q} = - \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{29}

          \frac{1}{q} = - 0.1178

          q = -8.488 cm

the negative sign indicates that the image is virtual

B) the magnification is given

          m = \frac{h'}{h} = - \frac{q}{p}

       

we substitute

          m = - \frac{-8.488}{29}

          m = 0.29

the positive sign indicates that the image is right

What is the increase in pressure required to decrease volume of mercury by 0.001%
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Boyles law

Boyle's law states that, the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to it's pressure, provided that temperature is constant

V ∝ 1 / P

V = k / P

VP = k

Then,

V_1 • P_1 = V_2 • P_2

So, if we want an increase in pressure that will decrease volume of mercury by 0.001%

Then, let initial volume be V_1 = V

New volume is V_2 = 0.001% of V

V_2 = 0.00001•V

Let initial pressure be P_1 = P

So,

Using the equation above

V_1•P_1 = V_2•P_2

V × P = 0.00001•V × P_2

Make P_2 subject of formula by dividing be 0.00001•V

P_2 = V × P / 0.00001 × V

Then,

P_2 = 100000 P

So, the new pressure has to be 10^5 times of the old pressure

Now, using bulk modulus

Bulk modulus of mercury=2.8x10¹⁰N/m²

bulk modulus = P/(-∆V/V)

-∆V = 0.001% of V

-∆V = 0.00001•V

-∆V = 10^-5•V

-∆V/V = 10^-5

Them,

Bulk modulus = P / (-∆V/V)

2.8 × 10^10 = P / 10^-5

P = 2.8 × 10^10 × 10^-5

P = 2.8 × 10^5 N/m²

A spy camera is said to be able to read the numbers on a car's license plate. If the numbers on the plate are 4.30 cm apart, and
Maslowich

Answer:

D = 2.38 m

Explanation:

This exercise is a diffraction problem where we must be able to separate the license plate numbers, so we must use a criterion to know when two light sources are separated, let's use the Rayleigh criterion, according to this criterion two light sources are separated if The maximum diffraction of a point coincides with the first minimum of the second point, so we can use the diffraction equation for a slit

         a sin θ  = m λ

Where the first minimum occurs for m = 1, as in these experiments the angle is very small, we can approximate the sine to the angle

           θ = λ / a

Also when we use a circular aperture instead of slits, we must use polar coordinates, which introduce a numerical constant

           θ = 1.22 λ / D

Where D is the circular tightness

       

Let's apply this equation to our case

         D = 1.22 λ /  θ

To calculate the angles let's use trigonometry

         tan  θ = y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹  y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹ (4.30 10⁻² / 140 10³)

          θ = tan⁻¹ (3.07 10⁻⁷)

          θ = 3.07 10⁻⁷ rad

Let's calculate

        D = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 3.07 10⁻⁷

        D = 2.38 m

Ground reaction force acting on carter
mezya [45]
We don't know Carter, and we don't know where he is or what
he's doing, so I'm taking a big chance speculating on an answer.

I'm going to say that if Carter is pretty much just standing there,
or, let's say, lying on the ground taking a nap, then the force of
the ground acting on him is precisely exactly equal to his weight.
