How does water form in the clouds? Explain how

1 answer:

3 0

When air rises in the atmosphere it gets cooler and is under less pressure. When air cools, it's not able to hold all of the water vapor it once was. Air also can't hold as much water when air pressure drops. The vapor becomes small water droplets or ice crystals and a cloud is formed.

I hope this helps you..

A book is sitting on a table. Which of the following is true about the table? O A. It is pushing up on the book. O B. It exerts

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

yes it does exert a force, it pushes it up

Explanation:

this is called normal force

if it didn't exert a force the book would keep going down

according to newton every force has an equal amd opposite reaction

so the book exerts a force on the table and vice versa

hope this helped

As a space shuttle moves through the dilute ionized gas of Earth's ionosphere, the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -

postnew [5]

Answer:

-2.3 × 10^-9 Coulombs(C).

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or information or parameters that is going to help us to solve the problem effectively and efficiently;

=> " the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -1.4 V during one revolution. "

=> " Assuming the shuttle is a conducting sphere of radius 15 m".

So, in order to estimate the value for the charge we will be making use of the equation below:

Charge, C =( radius × voltage or potential difference) ÷ Coulomb's law constant.

Note that the value of Coulomb's law constant = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2.

So, charge = { 15 × (- 1.4)} / 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2.

= -2.3 × 10^-9 Coulombs(C).

Light is incident along the normal to face AB of a glass prism of refractive index 1.54. Find αmax, the largest value the angle

marusya05 [52]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Snell's law.

Snell's law establishes that reflection is subject to

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

Where,

$\theta =$ Angle between the normal surface at the point of contact

n = Indices of refraction for corresponding media

The total internal reflection would then be given by

$n_1 sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

$(1.54) sin\theta_1 = (1.33)sin(90)$

$sin\theta_1 = \frac{1.33}{1.54}$

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.54})$

$\theta = 59.72\°$

Therefore the $\alpha_{max}$ would be equal to

$\alpha = 90\°-\theta$

$\alpha = 90-59.72$

$\alpha = 30.27\°$

Therefore the largest value of the angle α is 30.27°

A ball with a mass of 2000 g is floating on the surface of a pool of water. What is the minimum volume that the ball could have

Doss [256]

Answer:

$2000\; {\rm cm^{3}}$ .

Explanation:

When the ball is placed in this pool of water, part of the ball would be beneath the surface of the pool. The volume of the water that this ball displaced is equal to the volume of the ball that is beneath the water surface.

The buoyancy force on this ball would be equal in magnitude to the weight of water that this ball has displaced.

Let $m(\text{ball})$ denote the mass of this ball. Let $m(\text{water})$ denote the mass of water that this ball has displaced.

Let $g$ denote the gravitational field strength. The weight of this ball would be $m(\text{ball}) \, g$ . Likewise, the weight of water displaced would be $m(\text{water})\, g$ .

For this ball to stay afloat, the buoyancy force on this ball should be greater than or equal to the weight of this ball. In other words:

$\text{buoyancy} \ge m(\text{ball})\, g$ .

At the same time, buoyancy is equal in magnitude the the weight of water displaced. Thus:

$\text{buoyancy} = m(\text{water}) \, g$ .

Therefore:

$m(\text{water})\, g = \text{buoyancy} \ge m(\text{ball})\, g$ .

$m(\text{water}) \ge m(\text{ball})$ .

In other words, the mass of water that this ball displaced should be greater than or equal to the mass of of the ball. Let $\rho(\text{water})$ denote the density of water. The volume of water that this ball should displace would be:

$\begin{aligned}V(\text{water}) &= \frac{m(\text{water})}{\rho(\text{water})} \\ &\ge \frac{m(\text{ball}))}{\rho(\text{water})} \end{aligned}$ .

Given that $m(\text{ball}) = 2000\; {\rm g}$ while $\rho = 1.00\; {\rm g\cdot cm^{-3}}$ :

$\begin{aligned}V(\text{water}) &\ge \frac{m(\text{ball}))}{\rho(\text{water})} \\ &= \frac{2000\; {\rm g}}{1.00\; {\rm g\cdot cm^{-3}}} \\ &= 2000\; {\rm cm^{3}}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, for this ball to stay afloat, at least $2000\; {\rm cm^{3}}$ of the volume of this ball should be under water. Therefore, the volume of this ball should be at least $2000\; {\rm cm^{3}}\!$ .
