As the result of a thermal inversion the prevailing air temperature profile increases 1°C/100m above the ground level. To what m

aximum height will polluted air rise if it is released at ground level 15°C warmer than the atmosphere? The adiabatic lapse rate is −0.65°C/100m.

Answer:

909.1 m

Explanation:

Rate of temperature increase with 100 m elevation = 1°C

h = Maximum Height

Adiabatic lapse rate = -0.65°C/100 m

We have the relation

\dfrac{1^{\circ}C}{100}=\dfrac{15^{\circ}C}{h}+\left(-\frac{0.65}{100}\right)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1^{\circ}C}{100}+\left(-\frac{0.65}{100}\right)=\dfrac{15^{\circ}C}{h}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{15^{\circ}C}{1.65^{\circ}C}\times 100\\\Rightarrow h=909.1\ m

The maximum height is 909.1 m

Why are metals good conductors of both heat and electricity?
serious [3.7K]
They are both good conductors if both heat and electricity due to the sea of delocalized electrons that is floating around without getting bonded to an atom.

Such electrons can flow around freely to conduct heat and electricity.

Answer:

After a male ejaculates, many sperms move to the upper vagina (via contractions from the vagina) through the cervix and across the length of the uterus, reaching the fallopian tubes. Here they will meet the egg cell ready to be fertilized

Can a goalkeeper at his goal kick a soccer ball into the opponent’s goal without the ball touching the ground? The distance will
zmey [24]

The goalkeeper at his goal cannot kick a soccer ball into the opponent’s goal without the ball touching the ground

Explanation:

Consider the vertical motion of ball,

We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u  = u sin θ

     Final velocity, v =  0 m/s    

     Acceleration = -g

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      0 = u sin θ - g t

                      t=\frac{usin\theta }{g}

This is the time of flight.

Consider the horizontal motion of ball,

        Initial velocity, u =  u cos θ

        Acceleration, a =0 m/s²  

        Time, t=\frac{usin\theta }{g}  

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s=ucos\theta \times \frac{usin\theta }{g}+0.5\times 0\times (\frac{usin\theta }{g})^2\\\\s=\frac{u^2sin\theta cos\theta}{g}\\\\s=\frac{u^2sin2\theta}{2g}

This is the range.

In this problem

              u = 30 m/s

              g = 9.81 m/s²

              θ = 45° - For maximum range

Substituting

               s=\frac{30^2\times sin(2\times 45)}{2\times 9.81}=45.87m

Maximum horizontal distance traveled by ball without touching ground is 45.87 m, which is less than 95 m.

So the goalkeeper at his goal cannot kick a soccer ball into the opponent’s goal without the ball touching the ground
