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.

A 0.700-kg ball is on the end of a rope that is 2.30 m in length. The ball and rope are attached to a pole and the entire appara

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The tangential speed of the ball is 11.213 m/s

Explanation:

The radius is equal:

$r=2.3*sin70=2.161m$ (ball rotates in a circle)

If the system is in equilibrium, the tension is:

$Tcos70=mg\\Tsin70=\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

Replacing:

$\frac{mg}{cos70} sin70=\frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\Clearing-v:\\v=\sqrt{rgtan70}$

Replacing:

$v=\sqrt{2.161x^{2}*9.8*tan70 } =11.213m/s$

An artillery shell is launched on a flat, horizontal field at an angle of α = 40.8° with respect to the horizontal and with an i

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

1317.4 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Angle= $\alpha=40.8^{\circ}$

Initial speed = $v_0=346m/s$

We have to find the horizontal distance covered by the shell after 5.03 s.

Horizontal component of initial speed= $v_{ox}=v_0cos\theta=346cos40.8=261.9m/s$

Vertical component of initial speed= $v_{oy}=346sin40.8=226.1m/s$

Time=t=5.03 s

Horizontal distance = $Horizontal\;velocity\times time$

Using the formula

Horizontal distance= $261.9\times 5.03$

Horizontal distance=1317.4 m

Hence, the horizontal distance covered by the shell=1317.4 m

A bug splats against the windshield of a car traveling at high speeds down a backcountry road. Which statement correctly compare

zvonat [6]

Answer:

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

Explanation:

As we know by Newton's 2nd law

$F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}$

here we have also know that when car hits the bug then force applied by wind shield on the bug is same as the force applied by the bug on the car's wind shield as per Newton's III law

$F_{12} = F_{21}$

so we know that

$\frac{\Delta P_{12}}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta P_{21}}{\Delta t}$

so we have

$\Delta P_{12} = \Delta P_{21}$

so correct answer will be

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.
