A factory emits pollutants at a rate of 25 g/s. The factory is located between two mountain ranges resulting in an effective val

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3$

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the breeze = 4 m/s

w = Width of the valley = 5000 m

h = Height of the valley = 1000 m

Volumetric flow rate is given by

$\dot{V}=vwh\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=4\times 5000\times 1000\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=2\times10^{7}\ \text{m}^3/\text{s}$

$\dot{m}$ = Mass flow rate of pollutant = 25 g/s = $25\times 10^6\ \mu\text{g/s}$

Concentration is given by

$C=\dfrac{\dot{m}}{\dot{V}}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{25\times 10^6}{2\times 10^7}\\\Rightarrow C=1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3$

The steady state concentration of pollutants in the valley, is $1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3$ .

The luxury liner Queen Elizabeth 2 has a diesel-electric powerplant with a maximum power of 90 MW at a cruising speed of 31.5 kn

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

5558643.69 N

Explanation:

F = Force

v = Velocity = 31.5 knots

Converting to m/s

$1\ knot=0.514\ m/s$

$31.5\ knot=31.5\times 0.514\ m/s=16.191\ m/s$

Power is given by

$P=Fv\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{P}{v}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{90\times 10^6}{16.191}\\\Rightarrow F=5558643.69\ N$

The forward force is exerted on the ship at this highest attainable speed is 5558643.69 N

Why skies are blue but not other colours

wolverine [178]

Answer:

The Short Answer: Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

Using 6400 km as the radius of Earth, calculate how high above Earth’s surface you would have to be in order to weigh 1/16th of

FrozenT [24]

Gravity obeys the inverse square law. At 6400 km above the center of the Earth (Earth's surface) you weigh x. Twice that reduces your weight to 1/4th. Four times that height reduces your weight to 1/16th. 4 times 6400 km is 25,600 km. But that is above the center of the earth, and the question requests the height above the surface, so we deduct 6400 km to arrive at our final answer: 19,200 km.

Incidentally, it doesn't exactly work the opposite way. At the center of the Earth the mass would be equally distributed around you, and you would therefore be weightless.
