From your understanding of the relationship between temperature and pressure, what temperature would boiling water attain in the

open pot of a backpacker camping at 10,000 feet above sea level where the air pressure is about third of the pressure at sea level? does water boil faster or slower at that elevation?

The water will boil at lower temperature and faster at higher altitude/elevation.

Explanation

Boiling point, the temperature at which the liquid starts to break their bonds and starts to vaporize.

The mechanism at that point is that the internal vapor pressure of the liquid will be equal with the surrounding pressure in order to get vaporize.

So the boiling point or boiling temperature is the external heat transferred to the liquid so that the liquid's internal vapor pressure will be equal with the surrounding pressure.

As in higher altitudes the pressure is less, so lesser energy is required to boil the liquid. While, in water, the boiling point is 100 deg Celsius at sea level.

But when the same water molecules will be heated at higher altitude of about 10000 ft above sea level, the boiling temperature will be less than 100 °C and the boiling point will be reached faster than the time taken to achieve the boiling temperature of water at sea level.

This is because, at higher altitude the surrounding pressure will be less, so the external heat energy required to equate the internal vapor pressure of water with surrounding pressure will be less.

Thus, the water boils at lower temperature and faster at the elevation.

Water will boil faster at a higher elevation.  Air pressure<span> affects the    </span>temperature<span> at which </span>water boils quickly but cooking <span>times will take longer at higher </span>altitudes.  This is due to a decrease in atmospheric pressure.

Which is a correct statement of what occurs at a turbine during electricity production?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The turbine is rotated and rotates the generator to produce electricity.

Explanation:

Within a turbine enters the superheated steam which is at high pressure and high temperature, this steam is previously formed in the boiler when the steam enters the turbine hits each one of the blades of the turbine making it rotate at a given speed, the turbine shaft is coupled to the shaft of an electric generator and thus generates electricity.

It is also important to say that when the steam comes out of the turbine comes out at low pressure, this way the internal operating process is carried out within the turbine.

Calculate the wave length of a water wave with a speed of 20 m/s and a frequency of 2.5 Hz
12345 [234]

Wavelength of the water wave is 8 m

Explanation:

  • Wavelength measures the distance between two successive crests or troughs of the wave. It is given by the following equation

λ = v/f, where f is the frequency, v is the velocity of the wave

Here, v = 20 m/s and f = 2.5 Hz

⇒ λ = 20/2.5

      = 8 m

What homemade things could I use for wheels on a small balloon powered car?
Fantom [35]

You can use mostly anything as long as it is circular. Depending on how big it is, you could use sturdy paper plates and use a stick/rod and tape to hold it together, or you could use bottle caps if the car you are trying to make is really small.
