Convection causes the temperature of the air to vary from cool-hot. this variation between the hot air on the surface of the road and the cold air that is close above it creates a gradient located in the refractive index of air and you see what we call a mirage! hope this helps!.

What is the total amount of energy stored in a 12-V, 75 A*h car battery when it is fully charged?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Explanation:

Power is current times voltage.  Power is also energy per time.

P = IV = E/t

Solving for energy:

E = V It

E = (12 V) (75 Ah) (3600 s / h)

E = 3,240,000 J

E = 3240 kJ

the ocean floor is, on average, 4267 m below sea level. What is the pressure in the atmosphere at this depth?
hichkok12 [17]
The pressure at the depth h in the ocean is given by (Stevin's law)
p= p_0 + \rho g h
where
p_0 = 1.0 \cdot 10^5 Pa is the atmospheric pressure
and \rho g h is the pressure exerted by the column of water of height h=4267 m, with \rho = 1000 kg/m^3 being the water density and g=9.81 m/s^2.
Substituting, we find
p=1.0 \cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.81 m/s^2)(4267 m)=4.20 \cdot 10^7 Pa
We want to convert this into atmospheres: we know that 1 atm corresponds to the atmospheric pressure at sea level, so 1 atm=1.0\cdot 10^5 Pa, therefore we just need to divide by this number:
p= \frac{4.20 \cdot 10^7 Pa}{1.0 \cdot 10^5 Pa/atm} =420 atm
