How is mirage formed

Physics
1 answer:
Triss [41]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Mirages are formed when the ground is really hot and the air is really cold. The hot ground will warm a layer of the air closest to the ground. When the light moves through the cold air and hits the warm air it bends creating the U shaped bend

Explanation:

Hope this helps!

Why do atoms like carbon and nitrogen not like to make ions, while sodium and chlorine do?
krok68 [10]
Atoms like carbon and nitrogen do not form ions because the electronegativity of these atoms are not that high nor very low which means electrons are fairly stable in the atom. While chlorine has very high electronegativity and for sodium very low, atoms tend to receive or release electrons.

A wheel in the shape of a flat, heavy, uniform, solid disk is initially at rest at the top of an inclined plane of height 2.00 m
olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

If friction is neglected, the wheel cannot roll and can only slide frictionlessly and will have the same velocity at the bottom of the ramp as if it had been in free fall as it has converted the same amount of potential energy.

mgh = ½mv²

v = √(2gh) = √(2(9.81)(2.00)) = 6.26418... = 6.26 m/s

However if we do not ignore all friction and the wheel rolls without slipping down the slope, the potential energy becomes linear and rotational kinetic energy

mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

mgh = ½mv² + ½(½mR²)(v/R)²

2gh = v² + ½v²

2gh = 3v²/2

v = √(4gh/3) =√(4(9.81)(2.00)/3) = 5.11468... = 5.11 m/s

A certain radar installation tracks airplanes by transmitting electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 4.0 cm.
Anna35 [415]

the wavelength equation is

speed (of light in this case)= wavelength (m) x frequency

3x10^8m/s / .07m = f

frequency= 4 285 714 286 hertz

 

 

 

b) Total distance= 4.8 km (4,800 m)

Speed = 3x10^8 m/s

d=st

t= d/s

t= 4,800 m/3x10^8m/s

<span>t= 1x10^-5 seconds</span>

A physical pendulum consists of a meter stick that is pivoted at a small hole drilled through the stick a distance d from the 50
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

(a). The value of d is 0.056 cm and 1.496 cm.

(b). The time period is 1.35 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 50.00 cm

Time period = 2.50 s

Time period of pendulum is defined as the time for one complete cycle.

The period depends on the length of the pendulum.

Using formula of time period

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{mgh}}

Where, I = moment of inertia

We need to calculate the value of d

Using parallel theorem of moment of inertia

I=I_{cm}+md^2

For a meter stick mass m , the rotational inertia about it's center of mass

I_{cm}-\dfrac{mL^2}{12}

Where, L = 1 m

Put the value into the formula of time period

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{mL^2}{12}+md^2}{mgd}}

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L^2}{12gd}+\dfrac{d}{g}}

T^2=4\pi^2(\dfrac{L^2}{12gd}+\dfrac{d}{g})

Multiplying both sides by d

tex]T^2d=4\pi^2(\dfrac{L^2}{12g}+\dfrac{d^2}{g})[/tex]

(\dfrac{4\pi^2}{g})d^2-T^2d+\dfrac{\pi^2L^2}{3g}=0

Put the value of T, L and g into the formula

4.028d^2-6.25d+0.336=0

d = 0.056\ m, 1.496\ m

The value of d is 0.056 cm and 1.496 cm.

(b). Given that,

L = 50-5 = 45 cm

We need to calculate the time period

Using formula of period

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}

Put the value into the formula

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{45\times10^{-2}}{9.8}}

T=1.35\ sec

Hence, (a). The value of d is 0.056 cm and 1.496 cm.

(b). The time period is 1.35 sec.
