Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere where the reactions involving bromine, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen gases form compounds that destroy the ozone layer. The reactions uses a catalyst (speeds up the reaction) in a two step reaction. considering chlorine the reactions appears as follows;
step 1
Cl + O3 = ClO + O2
step 2
ClO + O = Cl + O2
Where by chlorine is released to destroy the ozone layer, this takes place many times even with the other elements (hydrogen, bromine, nitrogen) and the end result is a completely destroyed Ozone layer
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>The initial distance between the trains is 1450 m.
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the question two trains are of equal length 400 m and moves at a uniform speed of 72 km/h. train A is moving ahead of train B. If the train B has to overtake train A it should accelerate.
Train B’s acceleration is
and it accelerated for 50 seconds.
<em>
</em>
<em>t=50 s
</em>
<em>initial speed u=72km/h
</em>
<em>we have to convert this speed into m/s </em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Distance covered in accelerating phase
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>
</em>
If a train is just behind another, the distance covered by the train located behind during overtaking phase will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the trains.
<em>Here length of train A+length of train
</em>
<em>Hence the initial distance between the trains =
</em>
It is indeed true that scientists have known about the background radiation (commonly known as the Cosmic Microwave Background) since the early 60s. It was first discovered quite by accident by Penzias and Wilson working at Bell Labs, who detected it as an unexplainable interference in their precision radio equipment. When people finally figured out exactly what it was they were seeing, they won the Nobel Prize for their discovery. Only a few years before, George Gamow had predicted that if the Big Bang theory were correct, we should observe just such a background radiation. The CMB is not the only evidence in favor of the Big Bang, but it is one of the most important. It is a natural consequence of the theory, and is pretty unexplainable in steady-state cosmology.
The 15-20 billion year number comes not from the CMB, but rather predominantly from measurements of nearby and distant galaxies, particularly their rates of expansion away from us. We find that the distance to a galaxy is proportional to its recessional velocity. The constant of proportionality is the Hubble Constant, H, which turns out to be (approximately) the reciprocal of the age of the universe. So we measure the age by measuring recessional velocities. T = 1/H is only true, however, if the universe is not significantly accelerating or decelerating its expansion rate. If the rate of expansion is rapidly accelerating, the universe may be older than 1/H = 15 billion years, give or take. Such an acceleration would be caused by a large value of the Cosmological Constant, a sort of anti-gravity force predicted by General Relativity. There is some evidence that this might be the case.
So finally, yes, the age of the universe, being based on the empirical determination of H, is based on the observed evidence.
<span>Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phophate groups in a row. In a process called cellular respiration, chemical energy in food is converted into chemical energy that the cell can use, and stores it in molecules of ATP. This occurs when a molecule of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) uses the energy released during cellular respiration to bond with a third phosphate group, becoming a molecule of ATP. So the energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups of ATP. When the cell needs energy to do work, ATP loses its 3rd phosphate group, releasing energy stored in the bond that the cell can use to do work. Now its back to being ADP and is ready to store the energy from respiration by bonding with a 3rd phosphate group. ADP and ATP constantly convert back and forth in this manner.
