Answer:

4-6 millimeters

Explanation:

Global warming is causing devastating consequences for the planet such as rising sea levels and temperature in the oceans.

The melting of glaciers is one of the main causes of sea level rise.

Undoubtedly, the most affected and vulnerable areas correspond to areas of Asia, Africa and South America. Specifically, the study highlights that in six Asian countries such as China, Bangladesh, India, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand, there are approximately 237 million people who will suffer these floods if defense mechanisms are not activated.

Use the accompanying seismogram to answer which of the three types of seismic waves reached the seismograph first.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Primary waves (P-waves)

Explanation:

Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.

<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>

  1. body waves
  2. surface waves

Body waves are of two types:

Primary waves (P-waves)

These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.

They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.

Secondary waves (S-waves)

They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.

As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.

Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)

  • These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
  • They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
  • Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.

What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a
viktelen [127]

Complete Question

A certain refrigerator, operating between temperatures of -8.00°C and +23.2°C, can be approximated as a Carnot refrigerator.

What is the refrigerator's coefficient of performance? COP

(b) What If? What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump? COP

Answer:

a

 COP = 8.49

b

  COP_1 = 9.49  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The lower operation temperature of refrigerator is  T_1 =  -8.00^oC =  265 \  K

     The upper operation temperature of the refrigerator is   T_2 =  23.2 ^oC =  296.2 \  K

Generally the refrigerators coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

        COP =  \frac{T_1}{T_2 - T_1  }

=>     COP =  \frac{265}{296.2 - 265  }

=>     COP = 8.49

Generally if a refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump , the coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

            COP_1 =  \frac{T_2}{ T_2 - T_1}  

=>         COP_1 =  \frac{296.2}{ 296.2 - 265 }  

=>         COP_1 = 9.49
