The air temperature over a lake decreases linearly with height after sunset, since air cools faster than water. The mean molar m

ass of air is M=28.8×10−3kg/mol.
The questions are:
If the temperature at the surface is 28.00 ∘C and the temperature at a height of 260.0 m is 8.000 ∘C how long does it take sound to rise 260.0 m directly upward? [Hint: Use the equation v=sqrt(γRT/M) and integrate.]

At a height of 260.0 m, how far does sound travel horizontally in this same time interval?

Answer: t = 0.878s

Explanation: Dear big brain

since your temperature decreases linearly, you can assume that your velocity should behave linearly too. Here this isn't exactly the case (cfr. formula). But there's another way to prevent endlessly boring calculus. Use the principle of interpolation. (x/v_surface + x/v_top)/2 = t.

This answer won't be exactly the same, but it's a quite good approx. You can use this eqation, hence you don't use large distances.

Answer:

0.771 s

Explanation:

v = sqrt(γRT/M) = dx/dt

t = int(1/v, x=0..260) = 260/sqrt(γRT/M)

In your case:

t = 260/sqrt((1.4*8.31*281)/(28.8*10^-3)) = 0.771 s

Find the statement about Fusion that is false.
stiks02 [169]

Fusion occurs when low mass nuclei, such as hydrogen collide and combine to form nuclei with greater masses.

Fusion could be the world's answer to clean unlimited amounts of energy.

Fusion is extremely difficult to contain and maintain here on earth.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of light atomic nuclei to form nuclei with greater mass.

The sun is powered by chain reaction involving fusion of light hydrogen nuclei to produce a more massive atom of helium.

  • As with all nuclear reaction, mass is equivalent to energy. These reactions takes place place in the nucleus of an atom where nuclear forces are broken .
  • it is known that nuclear fusion produces far more energy than fission reaction.
  • It produces less radioactive wastes and could be the world's clean source of unlimited amount of energy.
  • The major problem with fusion is that it is difficult to start and requires a a lot of energy to initiate.

Which wave interaction results in a change in the direction of the wave as it passes through one medium to another medium?
Svetllana [295]

Explanation :

The phenomena in which the ray of light bend towards or away from the normal is called the refraction of light. Light always travels in straight line. If the speed of light in both medium differs then refraction occurs.  

According to Snell's law :

\dfrac{sin\ \theta_1}{sin\ \theta_2}=\dfrac{v_1}{v_2}=\dfrac{n_2}{n_1}

Where n_1 and  n_2 is the refractive indices of two medium 1 and medium 2.

v_1 and  v_2 is the speed of light in medium 1 and medium 2.

Hence, the given figure shows the refraction of light.
