Why is the ozone layer important?

adoni [48]

Answer:

Ozone is a gas in the atmosphere that protects everything living on the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun. Without the layer of ozone in the atmosphere, it would be very difficult for anything to survive on the surface.

Explanation:

Ozone layer, also called ozonosphere, region of the upper atmosphere, between roughly 15 and 35 km (9 and 22 miles) above Earth’s surface, containing relatively high concentrations of ozone molecules (O3). Approximately 90 percent of the atmosphere’s ozone occurs in the stratosphere, the region extending from 10–18 km (6–11 miles) to approximately 50 km.

A bus travels north on some busy city streets for 2.5 km, and a trip

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

V = 4.63 m/s

V = 11.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance traveled by the bus, towards north, d = 2.5 km

= 2500 m

The time taken by the trip is, t = 9 min

= 540 s

The velocity of the bus,

V = d / t

= 2500 / 540

= 4.63 m/s

At another point, the bus travels at a constant speed of v = 18 m/s

Therefore the velocity becomes

V = (4.63 + 18)/2

= 11.31 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the bus, V = 11.31 m/s

Two carts have a compressed spring between them and are initially at rest. One of the carts has total mass, including its conten

ladessa [460]

Answer:

A) - 1.8 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that whole system is initially at rest and there is no external force on this system

So total momentum of the system must be conserved

so we will have

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0$

now plug in all data into above equation

$5(v) + 3(3)$

$5v = -9$

$v = -1.8 m/s$

so correct answer is

A) - 1.8 m/s

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 9 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power gen

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The specific mechanical energy of the air in the specific location is 40.5 J/kg.
The power generation potential of the wind turbine at such place is of 2290 kW
The actual electric power generation is 687 kW

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of the air per unit mass is the specific kinetic energy of the air that is calculated using: $\frac{1}{2} V^2$ where V is the velocity of the air.
The specific kinetic energy would be: $\frac{1}{2}(9\frac{m}{s})^2=40.5\frac{m^2}{s^2}=40.5\frac{m^2 }{s^2}\frac{kg}{kg}=40.5\frac{N*m }{kg}=40.5\frac{J}{kg}$ .
The power generation of the wind turbine would be obtained from the product of the mechanical energy of the air times the mass flow that moves the turbine.
To calculate mass flow it is required first to calculate the volumetric flow. To calculate the volumetric flow the next expression would be: $\frac{V\pi D_{blade}^2}{4} =\frac{9\frac{m}{s}\pi(80m)^2}{4} =45238.9\frac{m^3}{s}$
Then the mass flow is obtain from the volumetric flow times the density of the air: $m_{flow}=1.25\frac{kg}{m^3}45238.9\frac{m^3}{s}=56548.7\frac{kg}{s}$
Then, the Power generation potential is: $40.5\frac{J}{kg} 56548.7\frac{kg}{s} =2290221W=2290.2kW$
The actual electric power generation is calculated using the definition of efficiency: $\eta=\frac{E_P}{E_I}}$ , where η is the efficiency, $E_P$ is the energy actually produced and, $E_I$ is the energy input. Then solving for the energy produced: $E_P=\eta*E_I=0.30*2290kW=687kW$
