Explain the differences in structure and use for life between oxygen gas in the atmosphere and ozone.

Physics
1 answer:
navik [9.2K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is in the form of O2, which means it is made up of molecules containing two oxygen atoms. Ozone, however is O3, which means it is made up of molecules containing three oxygen atoms. O2 is what we breath, and what plants release from photosynthesis. Ozone occurs naturally high in the stratosphere, where it absorbs ultraviolet light, protecting us here on the surface from skin cancer. Ozone can also occur closer to the surface of the earth as a pollutant. It is formed from reactions with O2 and chemicals emitted from factories and cars. It comes in the form of smog.

So in general:

Oxygen (O2): Essential to human life

Ozone (O3) in the stratosphere: essential to protecting life on earth

Ozone (O3) on the surface of the earth: toxic to human life, caused by pollution

A person stands 6.00 m from a speaker, and 8.00 m from an identical speaker. What is the wavelength of the first (n=1) interfere
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

wavelength = 4 m

Explanation:

For distance 6 and 8m and speed of sound in air = c.

The travel time form the various distances 6 and 8 are 6/c and 8/c respectively.

cos(wt1) + cos(wt2) = 0

for a shift in phase t1 = t - 6/c,

t2 = t - 8/c

substituting t1 and t2

cos(π - w(t - 8/c)) = cos(w(t - 6/c))

solving using trigonometry identities in radians.

we have,

π - 2πn = w(t - 8/c) - w(t - 6/c)

putting w = 2πf

π - 2πn = 2πf(t - 8/c) - 2πf(t - 6/c)

dividing both sides by π

1 - 2n = 2ft - 16(f/c) - 2ft + 12(f/c)

simplifying we have,

1 - 2n = -4(f/c)

solving for f we have,

f = c/4(2n - 1)

putting n=1 and c = 343m/s

f = (343/4)*(2(1) - 1)

f = 85.75 Hertz

wave lenght = c/f , where c= speed of sound in air , f= frequency

wave lenght = 343/85.75 = 4m

Distance and direction of an objects change in position from starting point
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

An object changes position if it moves relative to a reference point. The change in position is determined by the distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point (displacement). Direction • Direction is the line, or path along which something is moving, pointing, or aiming.
