Imagine you fill an insulated cup almost full with chopped or crushed ice, and measure the temperature after a minute or two, once it’s all come to thermal equilibrium. Since this ice is frozen water, the temperature should be at 0°C or not more than a couple of degrees below. Then, imagine you add a bunch of salt and stir it around.
What do you think the lowest temperature you can attain will be? Why? What happens to the amount of liquid present if you keep stirring and adding salt? How can we understand this phenomenon in terms of thermal and bond energy systems?
Develop an explanation for the changes you would observe in this physical system (decrease in temperature and change of phase) in terms of the Energy-Interaction Model. Preview the document

A motorcycle officer hidden at an intersection observes a car driven by an oblivious driver who ignores a stop sign and continues through the intersection at constant speed. The police officer takes off in pursuit 2.0 s after the car has passed the stop sign. She accelerates at 4.2 m/s^2 until her speed is 110 km/h, and then continues at this speed until she catches the car. At that instant,the car is 1.4km from the intersection. (a) How long did it take for the officer to catch up to the car? (b) How fast was the car traveling? (Ans:52 s, 98 km/h). Explain in detail how to solve.

A weather balloon measures a temperature of 11°C and a mixing ratio of 12.5 g kg^-1 at 850 hPa. Twenty-four hours later, the passage of a dryline has left the same location with the same temperature but a mixing ratio of 6 g kg^-1. What is the change in the density of the air during this period? You may assume an ideal gas.

Texas rancher wants to fence off his four-sided plot of flat land. He measures the first three sides, shown as A, B, and C in the figure below, where
A = 4.15 km
and
?C = 23°.
He then correctly calculates the length in kilometers and orientation in degrees west of south of the fourth side D. What is his result in kilometers and degrees west of south?
A= 4.15km corresponding degrees is 7.5
B= 2.48 and corresponding degrees is 16
C= 3.02 km and degrees is 23

a) What is the minimum index of refraction of a clear material if a minimum thickness of 122 nm , when laid on glass, is needed to reduce reflection to nearly zero when light of 675 nm is incident normally upon it? Assume that the film has an index less than that of the glass.
I got nmin=2.76 and it is saying incorrect.. used the equation 2t=m λn not sure what I am doing wrong
b) What is the main index of refraction of the material if the film has an idea greater than that of the glass?
