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

Physics

navik [9.2K]2 years ago

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

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

If the temperature of  the colder object rises by the same amount as the temperature of the hotter object drops, then <u>the specific heats of both objects will be equal.</u>

Explanation:

If the temperature of  the colder object rises by the same amount as the temperature of the hotter object drops when the two<u> objects of same mass</u> are brought into contact, then their specific heat capacity is equal.

<u>We can prove this by the equation of heat for the two bodies:</u>

<em>According to given condition,</em>

\Delta T_1=\Delta T_2

\frac{Q_1}{m_1.c_1} = \frac{Q_2}{m_2.c_2}

<em>when there is no heat loss from the system of two bodies then </em>Q_1=Q_2

\frac{1}{m.c_1} =\frac{1}{m.c_2}

\Rightarrow c_1=c_2

  • Thermal conductivity is ultimately affects the rate of heat transfer, however the bodies will attain their final temperature based upon their mass and their specific heat capacities.

The temperature of the colder object will rise twice as much as the temperature of the hotter object only in two cases:

  • when the specific heat of the colder object is half the specific heat of the hotter object while mass is equal for both.

OR

  • the mass of colder object is half the mass of the hotter object while their specific heat is same.

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{100}{313}=\dfrac{V_2}{263}

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=\dfrac{26300}{313}

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=84.02ml

(a) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun.
Ira Lisetskai [31]
<h2>a)Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun is 274.21 m/s²</h2><h2>b) Factor of increase in weight is 27.95</h2>

Explanation:

a) Acceleration due to gravity

                      g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

 Here we need to find acceleration due to gravity of Sun,

                G = 6.67259 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

    Mass of sun, M = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg

    Radius of sun, r = 6.957 x 10⁸ m

Substituting,

                g=\frac{6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}{(6.957\times 10^8)^2}\\\\g=274.21m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun = 274.21 m/s²

b) Acceleration due to gravity in earth = 9.81 m/s²

   Ratio of gravity = 274.21/9.81 = 27.95

   Weight = mg

  Factor of increase in weight = 27.95

Two students designed an experiment to study the effect of solar radiations on four cities of Earth. They used a globe to repres
Furkat [3]
Great experiment !  Everybody should try it if they can get the equipment. 
It demonstrates a lot of things that are very hard to explain in words. 

I hope the students remembered to tilt the axis of the globe.  If they didn't,
and instead kept it straight up and down, then each city had pretty much
the same amount of bulb-light all the way around, and there were no seasons.

If the axis of the globe was tilted, then City-D had the least variation in
seasons.  City-D is only 2° from the equator, so the sun is more direct
there all year around than it is at any of the others.
