A minimum temperature thermometer in a standard weather instrument shelter measures an overnight low temperature of 36 degrees F

ahrenheit. Explain why frost was observed on the ground beneath the shelter, even though the recorded minimum temperature was above the freezing point.

Answer:

Explanation:

Even though the minimum temperature is more than the freezing point, Frost was observed on the ground because the ground will cool rapidly as cool air tends to move towards the ground, the temperature of the ground is lower than the atmosphere a few feet above it.

As the thermometer is kept some feet above the ground so ground temperature may be lower than the minimum recorded temperature.

A diet is to contain at least 2400 mg vitamin C, 1800mg Calcium, and 1200 calories every day. Two foods, a dairy-based meal and
Kay [80]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of ounce of dairy based meal and let y represent the number of vegan option in ounce.

Since the diet must contain at least 2400 mg vitamin C, therefore:

50x + 20y ≥ 2400

Since the diet must contain at least 1800 mg Calcium, therefore:

30x + 20y ≥ 1200

Since the diet must contain at least 1200 calories, therefore:

10x + 40y ≥ 1200

Therefore the constraints are:

50x + 20y ≥ 2400

30x + 20y ≥ 1200

10x + 40y ≥ 1200

x > 0, y > 0

The graph was drawn using geogebra online graphing tool, and the solution to the problem is at:

C(30, 45) and D(48, 18)

dairy-based meal costs $0.042 per ounce and the vegan option costs $0.208 per ounce. The cost equation is:

Cost = 0.042x + 0.208y

At C(30, 45);  Cost = 0.042(30) + 0.208(45) = $10.62

At C(48, 18);  Cost = 0.042(48) + 0.208(18) = $5.76

The minimum cost is at (48, 18). That is 48 dairy based meal and 18 vegan

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is constant (c) and in a material medium it is

          v = d / t

The refractive index of a material is defined by

         n = c / v

         

Let's look for the speed of light in the material, in general the length that light travels is known, this value is high, x = 1, when we place a block on the road, a small amount is lengthened by the length of the block, which in general is despised

These measurements are made on a digital oscilloscope that allows to stop the signals and measure their differences, that is, the zero is taken when the first ray arrives and the time for the second ray is measured,

         

         v = d / t

         v = 1 / 6.25 10⁻⁹

         v = 1.6 10⁸ m / s

we calculate the refractive index

        n = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁸

        n = 1,875

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Time of flight  A is greatest

Explanation:

Let u₁ , u₂, u₃ be their initial velocity and θ₁ , θ₂ and θ₃ be their angle of projection. They all achieve a common highest height of H.

So

H = u₁² sin²θ₁ /2g

H = u₂² sin²θ₂ /2g

H = u₃² sin²θ₃ /2g

On the basis of these equation we can write

u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂=u₃ sinθ₃

For maximum range we can write

D = u₁² sin2θ₁ /g

1.5 D = u₂² sin2θ₂ / g

2 D =u₃² sin2θ₃ / g

1.5 D / D = u₂² sin2θ₂ /u₁² sin2θ₁

1.5 = u₂ cosθ₂ /u₁ cosθ₁      ( since , u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂ )

u₂ cosθ₂ >u₁ cosθ₁

u₂ sinθ₂ < u₁ sinθ₁

2u₂ sinθ₂ / g < 2u₁ sinθ₁ /g

Time of flight B < Time of flight  A

Similarly we can prove

Time of flight C < Time of flight B

Hence Time of flight  A is greatest .
