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

Physics
1 answer:
Maru [420]3 years ago
7 0
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.

How does current change for resistors in series? what is the equivalent resistance for resistors in series? answers?
ollegr [7]
The total resistance of electric circuit when resistors wired in a series is the sum of the individual resistance: each resistor in a series circuit has the same amount of current through and through it. Each resistor in a parallel circuit the same for voltage of the source applied to it.
when resistors are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the currents the metre resistor. In other words the currents in the branches of a parallel circuit add up to the supply current. When resistors are connected in parallel, they have the same potential difference is across them

1.Why is it important to accurately predict possible formation and path of a hurricane?
stellarik [79]

1. By predicting the path of hurricanes, it is possible to warn people in its prospective path in advance. This way lives can be saved. In addition economic cost. associated with its destruction, can be minimized by bracing in advance for the storm along its path.


2. When the sea temperatures increase, there is increased vaporization of water into the atmosphere. This causes a transfer of heat into the atmosphere from the hydrosphere. This causes a drop of pressure in the local region that is one ingredient  associated with the beginning of a hurricane.


3. The more the humidity, it means the more the heat transfer to the atmosphere through condensation. This reduces the pressure proportionally with the amount of humidity. This low pressure is an ingredient for hurricanes. In addition, the higher the humidity the larger the clouds and the larger the thunderstorms and precipitation associated with the hurricane


4. Winds drive hurricanes and determines their vicious force. In the formation of the hurricane, low winds are required to allow the formation of the funnel at the front betwen the cold and warm air masses. Winds blowing in congruence with the hurricane after then make it stronger while those that blow against it weaken it.


5. The answer is; YES, I would expect a hurricane. This is because at 12 0 N and 45 0 W are the open oceans of the Pacific. The average sea temperaturs in summer is between 15 0 and 20 0. At 27.5 0, this increases the humidity at the local region and therefore the tranfer of heat to the atmsphere. The light breeze gives the stability required for the air convection currents to occur forming a funnel front between the air masses.

As temperature increases, the speed of sound: decreases increases remains the same
Verdich [7]

The answer is actually as temperature decreases the speed of sound decreases. "As temperature decreases, the speed of sound decreases. As pressure, or oceanic depth, increases, the speed of sound increases." - my book.

A person walks 2 miles every day to work, leaving her front porch at 7:00 A.M. and arriving at work at 7:30 A.M. ON the way home
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The displacement is zero miles

Explanation:

The displacement of an object that moves from point A to point B is defined as

d =B-A

Where d is the displacement of the object. The displacement does not depend on the trajectory of the object. It only depends on the linear distance between the end point and the starting point.

In this case we know that the person walks from home to work and then walks from work to home. Therefore, the total displacement is the linear distance between the point where its journey begins and the point where the route ends.

The tour begins on the front porch of your house and ends on the front porch of your house (when you return from work). If we call A to the front porch of the house then the displacement is:

d = A-A = 0

The displacement is zero miles, since the person finishes the journey just where it started (front porch)

A car slows from 27 m/s to 5 m/s with a constant acceleration for 6.87 s. What is the car’s acceleration?
Kobotan [32]

In this case, the movement is uniformly delayed (the final rapidity is less than the initial rapidity), therefore, the value of the acceleration will be negative.

1. The following equation is used:

a = (Vf-Vo)/ t

a: acceleration (m/s2)

Vf: final rapidity (m/s)

Vo: initial rapidity (m/s)

t: time (s)

2. Substituting the values in the equation:

a = (5 m/s- 27 m/s)/6.87 s

3. The car's acceleration is:

a= -3.20 m/ s<span>^2</span>
