What is the most important source of water vapor in the atmosphere?

1 answer:

8 0

The answer is Oceans. It is the most important source of water vapor in the atmosphere. <span>Given the huge amount of water they have and their huge surface areas, naturally the bulk of water which evaporates and enters the atmosphere is from oceans.</span>

(a) 25lx

(b) 11.11lx

<u>Explanation:</u>

Illuminance is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

So,

$I = k\frac{1}{r^2}$

where, k is a constant

So,

(a)

If I = 100lx and r₂ = 2r Then,

$I_2 = k\frac{1}{(2r)^2}$

Dividing both the equation we get

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{k}{r^2} X\frac{(2r)^2}{k} \\\\\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 4\\\\I_2 = \frac{I_1}{4}\\\\I_2 = \frac{100}{4} = 25lx$

When the distance is doubled then the illumination reduces by one- fourth and becomes 25lx

(b)

If I = 100lx and r₂ = 3r Then,

$I_2 = k\frac{1}{(3r)^2}$

Dividing equation 1 and 3 we get

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{k}{r^2} X\frac{(3r)^2}{k} \\\\\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 9\\\\I_2 = \frac{I_1}{9}\\\\I_2 = \frac{100}{9} = 11.11lx$

When the distance is tripled then the illumination reduces by one- ninth and becomes 11.11lx

After six half-lives, what percentage of a radioactive sample will remain?

tatiyna

Well at the fourth half-life it would be 6.25% so if you continue calculating the answer would be B.

A pilot heads his jet due east. The jet has a speed of 425 mi/h relative to the air. The wind is blowing due north with a speed

Alja [10]

Answer:

(a)Velocity of wind = 35 j

(b)Velocity of jet relative to air = 425 i

(c)True velocity of jet = 425 i + 35 j

(d)True speed of jet = $\sqrt{425^{2}+35^{2}}$ = 426.88 mi/h

Direction of jet is, ∅ = $tan^{-1} \frac{40}{425}$ = 5.38°

Explanation:

We can represent east direction by i and north direction by j.

The jet has a relative speed of 425 mi/h relative to the air.

The wind is blowing due north with a speed of 35 mi/h = 35 j

425 mi/h is the relative speed with respect to wind that is

Velocity of jet wrt wind= $V_{jw}$ = $V_{j}-V_{w}$

425 i = $V_{j}$ - 35 j

$V_{j}$ = 425 i + 35 j

(a)Velocity of wind = 35 j

(b)Velocity of jet relative to air = 425 i

(c)True velocity of jet = 425 i + 35 j

(d)True speed of jet = $\sqrt{425^{2}+35^{2}}$ = 426.88 mi/h

Direction of jet is,

∅ = $tan^{-1} \frac{40}{425}$ = 5.38°

What is one advantage of using electromagnets instead of permanent magnets

zimovet [89]

The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.
