Answer:
Explanation:
If we assume there is a sharp boundary between the two masses of air, there will be a refraction. The refractive index of each medium will depend on the relative speeds of light.
n = c / v
If light travels faster in warmer air, it will have a lower refractive index
nh < nc
Snell's law of refraction relates angles of incidence and refracted with the indexes of refraction:
n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2)
sin(θ2) = sin(θ1) * n1/n2
If blue light from the sky passing through the hot air will cross to the cold air, then
n1 = nh
n2 = nc
Then:
n1 < n2
So:
n1/n2 < 1
The refracted light will come into the cold air at angle θ2 wich will be smaller than θ1, so the light is bent upwards, creating the appearance of water in the distance, which is actually a mirror image of the sky.
Answer:
A) 140 k
b ) 5.22 *10^3 J
c) 2910 Pa
Explanation:
Volume of Monatomic ideal gas = 1.20 m^3
heat added ( Q ) = 5.22*10^3 J
number of moles (n) = 3
A ) calculate the change in temp of the gas
since the volume of gas is constant no work is said to be done
heat capacity of an Ideal monoatomic gas ( Q ) = n.(3/2).RΔT
make ΔT subject of the equation
ΔT = Q / n.(3/2).R
= (5.22*10^3 ) / 3( 3/2 ) * (8.3144 J/mol.k )
= 140 K
B) Calculate the change in its internal energy
ΔU = Q this is because no work is done
therefore the change in internal energy = 5.22 * 10^3 J
C ) calculate the change in pressure
applying ideal gas equation
P = nRT/V
therefore ; Δ P = ( n*R*ΔT/V )
= ( 3 * 8.3144 * 140 ) / 1.20
= 2910 Pa
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time.
PE = (weight) x (height)
= (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
= (410 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (12 m)
= (410 x 9.8 x 12) kg-m²/s²
= 48,210 joules (rounded)
