<span>Jet streams are the major means of transport for weather systems. A jet stream is an area of strong winds ranging from 120-250 mph that can be thousands of miles long, a couple of hundred miles across and a few miles deep. Jet streams usually sit at the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere at a level called the tropopause. This means most jet streams are about 6-9 miles off the ground. Figure A is a cross section of a jet stream.

The dynamics of jet streams are actually quite complicated, so this is a very simplified version of what creates jets. The basic idea that drives jet formation is this: a strong horizontal temperature contrast, like the one between the North Pole and the equator, causes a dramatic increase in horizontal wind speed with height. Therefore, a jet stream forms directly over the center of the strongest area of horizontal temperature difference, or the front. As a general rule, a strong front has a jet stream directly above it that is parallel to it. Figure B shows that jet streams are positioned just below the tropopause (the red lines) and above the fronts, in this case, the boundaries between two circulation cells carrying air of different temperatures.
- Standard reduction potential of Ag/Ag⁺ is 0.80 v and that of Cu⁺²(aq)/Cu⁰ is +0.34 V.
- The couple with a greater value of standard reduction potential will oxidize the reduced form of the other couple.
Ag⁺ will be reduced to Ag(s) and Cu⁰ will be oxidized to Cu²⁺
Anode reaction: Cu⁰(s) → Cu²⁺ + 2 e⁻ E⁰ = +0.34 V
Cathode reaction: Ag⁺(aq) + e → Ag(s) E⁰ = +0.80 V
Cell reaction: Cu⁰(s) + 2 Ag⁺(aq) → Cu⁺²(aq) + 2 Ag⁰(s)
E⁰ cell = E⁰ cathode + E⁰ anode
= 0.80 + (-0.34) = + 0.46 V

Answer: first option, the work output of the hairdryer will be less than the work input.
Explanation:
1) The work output measured in watts is the power of hair dryer measured in joules per second.
2) The hair dryer converts electrical energy from the wall outlet to mechanical and thermal energy: hot wind.
3) Nevertheless, you can never expect a 100% efficiency of the machines: due to friction, some energy is converted into useless energy.
So, efiiviency = power output / power input< 1 ⇒
power output = work output / time
input power = work input / time
⇒ work output / work input < 1
⇒ work output < work input.
Which is the first option: the work output of the hairdryer will be less than the work input
Answer:
Explanation:
= First mass of water = 12 oz
= Second mass of water = 20 oz
= Temperature difference of the solution with respect to the first mass of water = 
= Temperature difference of the solution with respect to the second mass of water =
c = Specific heat of water
As heat gain and loss in the system is equal we have
The final temperature of the solution is .
