Infrared is created by detecting the produced radiation coming off of clouds. The temperature of the cloud will define the wavelength of radiation produced from the cloud. The benefit of the infrared imagery is that can be used day and night to conclude the temperature of the cloud tops and earth surface structures and to get the general idea of how clouds are. Based on the general guidelines to define cloud features, if the cloud is bright white on infrared then it is a high cloud or has a cloud top that is developed high into the troposphere. In this way infrared images actually display patterns of temperature on a gray scale such that at one extreme dark gray is warm and at the other extreme bright white is cold. A color scale is used to portray temperature and some improved infrared images show two or more gray scale sequences. High cold clouds are brighter white than low warm clouds.
Answer:
1. 610,000 lb ft
2. 490 J
Explanation:
1. First, convert mi/hr to ft/s:
100 mi/hr × (5280 ft / mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 146.67 ft/s
Now find the kinetic energy:
KE = ½ mv²
KE = ½ (1825 lb / 32.2 ft/s²) (146.67 ft/s)²
KE = 610,000 lb ft
2. KE = ½ mv²
KE = ½ (5 kg) (14 m/s)²
KE = 490 J
Impulse = (force) x (time)
The first impulse was (20 N) x (10 sec) = 200 meters/sec
The second one is (50 N) x (time) and we want it equal to the first one, so
(50 N) x (time) = 200 meters/sec
Divide each side by 50N : Time = 200/50 = <em>4 seconds</em>
By the way, the quantity we're playing with here is the cart's <em>momentum</em>.
The answer is the second option, or 1/10 the same momentum.
