Answer:
Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool. The hot ground will have a warm layer of air just above it. when the light moves through the cold air and into the layer of hot air it is refracts (bent).
Answer:
The magnitude of the change in gravitational potential energy of the earth-athlete system over the course of the race is 643,536Joules
Explanation
Potential energy is one of the form of mechanical energy and it is defined as the energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its position. When the body is under gravity, it possesses an energy called the gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy is expressed as shown:
GPE = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height
Given mass of athlete = 80kg
height covered = 820m
acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s
GPE = 80×9.81×820
GPE = 643,536Joules
Answer:
5.01×10⁴ J.
Explanation:
Applying,
q = Cm....................... Equation 1
Where q = amount of heat needed to melt the ice, m = mass of the ice, C = specific latent heat of ice.
From the question,
Given: m = 150 g = (150/1000) kg = 0.15 kg, C = 3.34×10⁵ J/kg
Substitute these values into equation 1
q = (0.15×3.34×10⁵)
q = 0.501×10⁵ J
q = 5.01×10⁴ J.
Pressure with Height: pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.
