One way that the world's ocean affects weather and climate is by playing an important role in keeping our planet warm. ... The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation.

An oil film with refractive index 1.48 and thickness 290 nm is floating on water and illuminated with white light at normal inci
VikaD [51]

Answer:

572.3 nm

Explanation:

n_{oil} = refractive index of the oil film = 1.48

t_{oil} = thickness of the oil film = 290 nm

\lambda = wavelength of the dominant color

m = order

Using the equation

2 n_{oil} t_{oil} = (m + 0.5) \lambda

For m = 0

2 (1.48) (290) = (0 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 1716.8 nm

For m = 1

2 (1.48) (290) = (1 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 572.3 nm

For m = 2

2 (1.48) (290) = (2 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 343.4 nm

Hence the dominant color wavelength is 572.3 nm

In order to place a satellite into orbit, it requires enough fuel to supply the necessary mechanical energy. Into what types of
nexus9112 [7]

When a satellite is revolving into the orbit around a planet then we can say

net centripetal force on the satellite is due to gravitational attraction force of the planet, so we will have

F_g = F_c

\frac{GM_pM_s}{r^2} = \frac{M_s v^2}{r}

now we can say that kinetic energy of satellite is  given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}M_s v^2

KE = \frac{GM_sM_p}{2r}

also we know that since satellite is in gravitational field of the planet so here it must have some gravitational potential energy in it

so we will have

U = -\frac{GM_sM_p}{r}

so we can say that energy from the fuel is converted into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of the satellite

What is the maximum value of the magnetic field at a distance of 2.5 m from a light bulb that radiates 100 W of single-frequency
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1.04\times 10^{-7} T

Explanation:

IP  = Power of the bulb = 100 W

r  = distance from the bulb = 2.5 m

I = Intensity of light at the location

Intensity of the light at the location is given as

I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^{2}}

I = \frac{100}{4(3.14) (2.5)^{2}}

I = 1.28 W/m²

B_{o} = maximum magnetic field

Intensity is given as

I = \frac{B_{o}^{2}c}{2\mu _{o}}

1.28 = \frac{B_{o}^{2}(3\times 10^{8})}{2(12.56\times 10^{-7})}

B_{o} = 1.04\times 10^{-7} T

A stone is dropped from the top of a tower. What is its velocity after 3.0 seconds?
kap26 [50]

For purposes of completing our calculations, we're going to assume that
the experiment takes place on or near the surface of the Earth. 

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s², directed toward the
center of the planet.  That means that the downward speed of a falling object
increases by 9.8 m/s for every second that it falls.

3 seconds after being dropped, a stone is falling at (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s. 

That's the vertical component of its velocity.  The horizontal component is
the same as it was at the instant of the drop, provided there is no horizontal
force on the stone during its fall.
