Answer:

20.85 years

Explanation:

2.61 km = 2610 m

2.07 kW = 2070 W

First we need to calculate the potential energy required to take m = 5.32 * 10^7 kg of rain cloud to an altitude of 2610 m is

E = mgh = 5.32 * 10^7 * 9.81 * 2610 = 1.4*10^{12}J

With a P = 2070 W power pump, this can be done within a time frame of

t = E/P = \frac{1.4*10^{12}}{2070} = 658037739 s

or 658037739/(60*60) = 182788 hours or 182788 / 24 = 7616 days or 7616 / 365.25 = 20.85 years

Why do you not come to thermal equilibrium on a cold day
Tju [1.3M]

Two physical systems are in thermal equilibrium if no heat flows between them when they are connected by a path permeable to heat. Thermal equilibrium obeys the zeroth law of thermodynamics. A system is said to be in thermal equilibrium with itself if the temperature within the system is spatially and temporally uniform.

Systems in thermodynamic equilibrium are always in thermal equilibrium, but the converse is not always true. If the connection between the systems allows transfer of energy as heat but does not allow transfer of matter or transfer of energy as work, the two systems may reach thermal equilibrium without reaching thermodynamic equilibrium.

A light wave moves from diamond (n= 2.4) into water (n= 1.33) at an angleof 24°. what angle does it have in water?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2      Snell's Law       (θ1 is the angle of incidence)

sin θ2 = n1 / n2 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 2.4 / 1.33 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 1.80 * .407 = .734

θ2 = 47.2 deg
