Question
Explain, why does a wise farmer water his fields, if forecast is forst?
✓
Answer
The frost can seriously damage the leaves and fruit of plants. When a farmer waters his fields, during, night, this water gives large amount of heat energy, because 1 g of water will liberate 4.2 J of energy for every 1°C fall in temperature. Thus, the air around the field is saturated with heat energy and its temperature does not fall below 0°C. Thus, no frost is formed.

A rifle shot is fired in a valley between two parallel walls. The echo from one wall is heard in 3 s and the echo from the other wall is heard 3 s later. If the velocity of sound at 00 c is $330 ms^{-1}$ and the temperature in the valley is 100 c , calculate the width of the valley. For every 10 c rise in temperature, the velocity of sound increase by $0.61 ms^{-1}$.
