Bright white shadings on infrared images indicate cloud tops that have relatively ________ temperatures

Physics

Maru [420]3 years ago

Infrared is created by detecting the produced radiation coming off of clouds. The temperature of the cloud will define the wavelength of radiation produced from the cloud. The benefit of the infrared imagery is that can be used day and night to conclude the temperature of the cloud tops and earth surface structures and to get the general idea of how clouds are. Based on the general guidelines to define cloud features, if the cloud is bright white on infrared then it is a high cloud or has a cloud top that is developed high into the troposphere. In this way infrared images actually display patterns of temperature on a gray scale such that at one extreme dark gray is warm and at the other extreme bright white is cold. A color scale is used to portray temperature and some improved infrared images show two or more gray scale sequences. High cold clouds are brighter white than low warm clouds.

Transverse waves are sent along a 4.50 m long string with a speed of 85.00 m/s. The string is under a tension of 20.00 N. What i
frutty [35]

Answer:

m = 0.0125 kg

Explanation:

Let us apply the formula for the speed of a wave on a string that is under tension:

v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu} }

where F = tension force

μ = mass per unit length

Mass per unit length is given as:

μ  = m / l

where m = mass of the string

l = length of the string

This implies that:

v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{m/l} }\\ \\v = \sqrt{\frac{F * l}{m} }

Let us make mass, m, the subject of the formula:

v^2 = \frac{F * l}{m}\\\\m = \frac{F * l}{v^2}

From the question:

F = 20 N

l = 4.50 m

v = 85 m/s

Therefore:

m = \frac{20 * 4.5}{85^2}\\\\m = \frac{90}{7225}\\ \\m = 0.0125 kg

Jan ran 4 miles north in 28 minutes. What was Jan's average velocity?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by Jan, d = 4 miles

1 mile = 1609.34 m

4 miles = 6437.38 m

Time, t = 28 minutes = 1680 s

Jan's average speed,

v = d/t

v=\dfrac{6437.38\ \text{m}}{1680\ \text{s}}\\\\v=3.83\ \text{m/s}

Hence, the average velocity of Jan is 3.83 m/s.

Chanice drives her scooter 7 kilometers north. she stops for lunch and then drives 5 kilometers and then 1 km east again. what d
lord [1]

Distance covered is given as follows

1). 7 km North

2). 5 km North

3). 1 km East

Now total distance covered will be given as

d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3

d = 7 km + 5 km + 1 km

d = 13 km

Now in order to find the displacement we will show all with their directions

\vec d_1 = 7 + 5 = 12 km towards North

\vec d_2 = 1 km towards East

So total displacement is

\vec d = \vec d_1 + \vec d_2

\vec d = 12 \hat j + 1 \hat i

so net displacement will be

d = \sqrt{12^2 + 1^2} = 12.04 km

so displacement is 12.04 km
