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

1 answer:

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.

The person's horizontal position is given by

$x=v_0\cos40^\circ t$

and the time it takes for him to travel 56.6 m is

$56.6\,\mathrm m=\left(24.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos40^\circ t\implies t=3.08\,\mathrm s$

so your first computed time is the correct one.

The question requires a bit of careful reading, and I think there may be a mistake in the problem. The person's vertical velocity $v_y$ at time $t$ is

$v_y=v_{0y}-gt$

which tells us that he would reach the ground at about $t=3.15\,\mathrm s$ . In this time, he would have traveled

$x=v_{0x}(3.15\,\mathrm s)=57.9\,\mathrm m$

But we're told that he is caught by a net at 56.6 m, which would mean that the net cannot have been placed at the same height from which he was launched. However, it's possible that the moment at which he was launched doesn't refer to the moment the cannon went off, but rather the moment at which the person left the muzzle of the cannon a fraction of a second after the cannon was set off. After this time, the person's initial vertical velocity $v_{0y}$ would have been a bit smaller than $\left(24.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\sin40^\circ$ .

what will be the focal lenght of a combined lens made by contact of two lenses of power +3D and -2D.

4vir4ik [10]

P_1=+3D
P_2=-2D

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow P=P_1+P_2$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow P=+3D-2D=+1D$

Now

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{P}$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{1}$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow f=1m$

If you stood on a planet with four times the mass of Earth, and twice Earth's radius, how much would you weigh?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1/4 times your earth's weight

Explanation:

assuming the Mass of earth = M

Radius of earth = R

∴ the mass of the planet= 4M

the radius of the planet = 4R

gravitational force of earth is given as = $\frac{GM}{R^{2} }$

where G is the gravitational constant

Gravitational force of the planet = $\frac{G4M}{(4R)^{2} }$

= $\frac{G4M}{16R^{2} }$

= $\frac{GM}{4R^{2} }$

recall, gravitational force of earth is given as = $\frac{GM}{R^{2} }$

∴Gravitational force of planet = 1/4 times the gravitational force of the earth

you would weigh 1/4 times your earth's weight

At a picnic, there is a contest in which hoses are used to shoot water at a beach ball from three different directions. As a res

hram777 [196]

Answer:

F₃ = 122.88 N

θ₃ = 20.63°

Explanation:

First we find the components of F₁:

For x-component:

F₁ₓ = F₁ Cos θ₁

F₁ₓ = (50 N) Cos 60°

F₁ₓ = 25 N

For y-component:

F₁y = F₁ Sin θ₁

F₁y = (50 N) Sin 60°

F₁y = 43.3 N

Now, for F₂. As, F₂ acts along x-axis. Therefore, its y-component will be zero and its x-xomponent will be equal to the magnitude of force itself:

F₂ₓ = F₂ = 90 N

F₂y = 0 N

Now, for the resultant force on ball to be zero, the sum of x-components of the forces and the sum of the y-component of the forces must also be equal to zero:

F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ + F₃ₓ = 0 N

25 N + 90 N + F₃ₓ = 0 N

F₃ₓ = - 115 N

for y-components:

F₁y + F₂y + F₃y = 0 N

43.3 N + 0 N + F₃y = 0 N

F₃y = - 43.3 N

Now, the magnitude of F₃ can be found as:

F₃ = √F₃ₓ² + F₃y²

F₃ = √[(- 115 N)² + (- 43.3 N)²]

and the direction is given as:

θ₃ = tan⁻¹(F₃y/F₃ₓ) = tan⁻¹(-43.3 N/-115 N)
