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.

An ice-making machine inside a refrigerator operates in a Carnot cycle. It takes heat from liquid water at 0.0 ∘C and rejects he
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

2.36 x 10^6 J

Explanation:

Tc = 0°C = 273 K

TH = 22.5°C = 295.5 K

Qc = heat used to melt the ice

mass of ice, m = 85.7 Kg

Latent heat of fusion, L = 3.34 x 10^5 J/kg

Let Energy supplied is E which is equal to the work done

Qc = m x L = 85.7 x 3.34 x 10^5 =  286.24 x 10^5 J

Use the Carnot's equation

\frac{Q_{H}}{Q_{c}}=\frac{T_{H}}{T_{c}}

Q_{H}=286.24\times 10^{5}\times \frac{295.5}{273}

QH = 309.8 x 10^5 J

W = QH - Qc

W = (309.8 - 286.24) x 10^5

W = 23.56 x 10^5 J

W = 2.36 x 10^6 J

Thus, the energy supplied is 2.36 x 10^6 J.

Explain Why a flying aeroplane has more Kinetic Energy than a flying insect?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Why do insects fly so high?

Because the angle of attack is so high, a lot of momentum is transferred downward into the flow. These two features create a large amount of lift force as well as some additional drag. The important feature, however, is the lift.

Why an Aeroplane flying has kinetic  

A flying aeroplane has potential energy has it flies above the ground level. And since the aeroplane is flying motion is associated with it and thus possesses kinetic energy. Hence a flying aeroplane has both potential and kinetic energ

A certain machine changes a large input force into a smaller output force. how will the machine affect the distance over which t
Molodets [167]

A machine that lowers the input force is a step down machine. If the force is lowered, the distance at which the the force is applied will be lowered as well. Assuming that the work done by the force does not stay constant and is affected by force, the distance will be reduced.
