The weight of air in a column 1-m2 in cross section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere is?

Physics

Sauron [17]1 year ago

From sea level to the top of the atmosphere, a column of air with a 1-m2 cross section weighs 101,000 N.

To find the answer we have to know about the pressure.

<h3>What is Pressure?</h3>
  • The pressure at a point on a surface is the thrust acting per unit area around that point.

                    Pressure, P=\frac{Thrust}{Area}=\frac{F}{A}

  • A particular mass of air is contained in a column that rises from the ocean to the top of the atmosphere. Then,

                   P=P_a=1.013*10^5 pascal

Pa is the atmospheric pressure at the sea level.

  • By combining both the equations, we get the weight of air,

                                       \frac{F}{A}=P_a

              F=W=P_a*A=1.013*10^5*1=101300N

Thus, we can conclude that, the weight of air in a column 1-m2 in cross section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere is 101300N.

Consider the following waves representing electromagnetic radiation: An illustration shows two waves representing electromagneti
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

a) red wave hs a longer wavelength than the green wave

b)f = 1.875 10¹¹ Hz ,  f_green = 5.45 10¹⁴Hz

c)   E = 1.24 10⁻²² J , E_green = 3.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

d) The red wave is in the infrared range, heat waves

The green wave is in the visible wavelength

Explanation:

a) The green wave are on the left in the electromagnetic spectrum so the red wave has a longer wavelength than the green wave

The green wavelength is in the range of 550 10⁻⁹ m

The speed of the wave is

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

b) The frequency of the red wave is

            f = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁻³

            f = 1.875 10¹¹ Hz

For the green wave

           f_green = 3 10⁸/550 10⁻⁹

           f_green = 5.45 10¹⁴Hz

c) The photon energy is given by the Planck equation

             E = h f

             E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 1.875 10¹¹

             E = 1.24 10⁻²² J

For the green wave

              E_green = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 5.45 10¹⁴

              E_green = 3.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

d) The speed of electromagnetic waves is constant and has a value of 3 108 m / s

e)  

The red wave is in the infrared range, heat waves

The green wave is in the visible wavelength

A person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i
inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N

During heavy rain, a section of a mountainside measuring 2.5 km horizontally, 0.80 km up along the slope, and 2.0 m deep slips i
Crank

Answer:

The mass of the mud is 3040000 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

length = 2.5 km

Width = 0.80 km

Height = 2.0 m

Length of valley = 0.40 km

Width of valley = 0.40 km

Density = 1900 Kg/m³

Area = 4.0 m²

We need to calculate the mass of the mud

Using formula of density

\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}

m=\rho\times V

Where, V = volume of mud

\rho = density of mud

Put the value into the formula

m=1900\times4.0\times0.40\times10^{3}

m =3040000\ kg

Hence, The mass of the mud is 3040000 kg.
