Answer:

Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon.

Explanation:

The three (3) most abundant gases in the dry atmosphere are"

- Nitrogen

- Oxygen

- Argon

These are not the only components of dry air. Dry atmosphere is made up of:

- 78.09% Nitrogen;

- 20.95% Oxygen;

- 0.93% Argon;

- 0.04% Carbon dioxide;

- Other gases

Question 2.

choli [55]

Explanation:

1 inch = 25.4 mm

1 foot = 12 inches

1 mile = 5260 feet

1 cm = 0.01 m or 10 mm

Now Sammy's height is 5 feet and 5.3 inches.

(a) We need to find Sammy's height in inches.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

5 feet = 5 × 12 inches = 60 inches

Now, 5 feet and 5.3 inches = 60 inches + 5.3 inches = 65.3 inches

Sammy's height is 65.3 inches.

(b) We need to find Sammy's height in feet.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

$1\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{1}{12}\ \text{feet}$

So,

$5.3\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{5.3}{12}\ \text{feet}=0.4416\ \text{feet}$

5 feet and 5.3 inches = 5 feet + 0.4416 feet = 5.44 feet

Sammy's height is 5.44 feet.

Distance measurements based on the speed of light; used for objects in space

Vika [28.1K]

Answer : Yes, distance measurements based on the speed of light used for objects in space.

Explanation : A light year is measurement of distance that light travel in a one year.

In a one year light travels 9460000000000 kilometer.

We know that, speed of light is $3\times10^{8}\ m/s$

and time is 31536000 seconds in 1 year

so, distance = speed of light X time

Now, the light year is $9.4608\times10^{15} meter$

Example : The nearest star to earth is about 4.3 light year away.

A student shakes a rope such that 20 complete vibrations are made in 4.00 seconds. Determine the vibrational frequency of the ro

fgiga [73]

Answer:

The vibrational frequency of the rope is 5 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

number of complete oscillation of the rope, n = 20

time taken to make the oscillations, t = 4.00 s

The vibrational frequency of the rope is calculated as follows;

$Frequency = \frac{number \ of \ complete \ vibrations}{time \ taken} \\\\Frequency = \frac{20 }{4 \ s} \\\\Frequency = 5 \ Hz$

Therefore, the vibrational frequency of the rope is 5 Hz.

An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 40%, while operating between hot and cold rese

lesya [120]

From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:

efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100

Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)

For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%

For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40%

For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20%

Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.
