What pollutant forms when automobile emissions react with oxygen gas and ultraviolet rays?

Physics

Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone.  Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides come from great variety of industrial and combustion processes. Motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC that acts as a precursor of ozone. In urban areas, the number of automobiles are more and therefore, more production of such harmful gases. These gases in presence of sunlight leads to the formation of bad ozone.

The Sun is about 150 million km from earth. how long does it take light from the sun to reach earth? (Speed of light is 3x10^8m/
madam [21]

Time  =        (distance) / (speed)

Time  =  (150 x 10⁹ m) / (3 x 10⁸ m/s) =

                           50 x 10¹ sec  = 

                                 <em>500 sec</em>  =  8 min 20 sec

A cell phone uses a 3. 0 V battery. The circuit board it uses needs a 0. 05 A current. What size resistor is needed to generate
Marta_Voda [28]

The value of resistance will be 60 ohms. Resistance is the opposition force offered to the flow of electric current. The ratio of the voltage to the electric current passing through the wire.

<h3>What is a resistor?</h3>

A resistor is a two-terminal passive electrical component that acts as a circuit element by implementing electrical resistance.

Resistors are used to limit current flow, alter signal levels, divide voltages, bias active devices, and complete transmission lines in electronic circuits.

The given data in the problem is;

V is the voltage =  3. 0 V

I is value of electric current=  0. 05 A

R is the resistance=?

According to ohm's law, the potential difference between the two ends of the conductor is equal to the product of electric current and the resistance generated.

So from the ohm law;

V= IR

\rm R = \frac{V}{I} \\\\ \rm R = \frac{3}{0.05} \\\\ \rm R =60 \ ohm

Hence the value of resistance will be 60 ohms.

To learn more about the resistor refer to the link;
