Answer:
Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.
Explanation:
They happen when light passes through two layers of air with different temperatures. The desert sun heats the sand, which in turn heats the air just above it. The hot air bends light rays and reflects the sky.
When you see it from a distance, the different air masses colliding with each other act as a mirror.
Answer: it needs to function using energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil.
Explanation:
Answer:
840000 J/min
Explanation:
Area = A = 0.1 m²
Bottom of pot temperature = 200 °C
Thermal conductivity = k = 14 J/sm°C
Thickness = L = 1 cm = 0.01 m
Temperature of boiling water = 100 °C
From the law of heat conduction
Q = kAΔT/L
⇒ Q = 14×0.1×(200-100)/0.01
⇒ Q = 14000 J/s
Converting to J/minute
Q = 14000×60 = 840000 J/min
∴ Heat being conducted through the pot is 840000 J/min
