How does the color of water affect its evaporation rate

olga_2 [115]

Well my thinking is that the lighter the slower the water evaporates or the darker the faster becuase dark colors absorb light and allows a lot of heat to be generated or not at all.

An aircraft with a mass of 10,000 kg starts from rest at sea level and takes off, then flies to a cruising speed of 620 km/h and

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of aircraft = 10000 kg

Speed = 620 km/h = 172.22 m/s

Altitude = 10 km = 1000 m

We calculate the change in potential energy

$\Delta P.E=mg(h_{2}-h_{1})$

$\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times(10000-0)$

$\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times10000$

$\Delta P.E=980000000\ J$

$\Delta P.E=980\ MJ$

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in potential energy will be 1000 MJ.

We calculate the change in kinetic energy

$\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{2}^2-v_{1}^2)$

$\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2-0^2)$

$\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2)$

$\Delta K.E=148298642\ J$

$\Delta K.E=148.3\ MJ$

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in kinetic energy will be 150 MJ.

Hence, The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.

A light beam has speed c in vacuum and speed v in a certain plastic. The index of refraction n of this plastic is

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

Explanation:

Refractive Index: It is a measure to find how fast the light travels through a medium. It is ration of the speed of light in vacuum to speed of light in the medium. Speed of light is not constant and varies depending on the density of the medium.

In vacuum the speed of light is 300000 km/s and is denoted by c. When the light beam enters any medium the speed will decrease. Here it is given that the speed in plastic is v. Thus the refractive index(n) is given as:

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

It is a dimensionless no.

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

L = 499 m

Explanation:

If we assume that the speed of sound is constant, that travels along a straight line, and that the echo is instantaneous, we can find the total distance travelled by the sound, as follows, just applying the definition of average velocity:

$\Delta x = v_{s} * t = 343 m/s* 2.91 s = 998 m$

If we assume that the time needed to reach to the cliff, is the same used for the return travel, the length of the lake will be exactly half of the total distance calculated:

$l_{lake} = \frac{\Delta x}{2} = \frac{998m}{2} = 499 m$

The length of the lake is 499 m.
