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

1 answer:

6 0

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.

Explain why the intensity of the light in a flashlight beam decreases as the flashlight moves farther away.

Karolina [17]

Ir=Initial Intensity/Area of spread=Io4πr2
Ir∝1r2

It is seen from this expression that intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. As we move away from the light source the intensity decreases at the rate of square of the distance from the source.

Brightness being the perception of intensity. more the intensity more bright the object is perceived and vice versa.

Explain how forces affect the motion of the planets

dedylja [7]

Any moving object in space will travel in a straight line at the same speed forever, planets included. The planets would be moving in straight lines, but the sun's gravity pulls them toward it. The force of gravity causes the moving planets to travel in roughly circular orbits around the sun.
