That's two different things it depends on:

-- surface area exposed to the air
AND
-- vapor already present in the surrounding air.

Here's what I have in mind for an experiment to show those two dependencies:

-- a closed box with a wall down the middle, separating it into two closed sections;

-- a little round hole in the east outer wall, another one in the west outer wall,
and another one in the wall between the sections;
So that if you wanted to, you could carefully stick a soda straw straight into one side,
through one section, through the wall, through the other section, and out the other wall.

-- a tiny fan that blows air through a tube into the hole in one outer wall.

<u>Experiment A:</u>

-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a narrow dish, with a small surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a wide dish, with a large surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
<span><em>Show that the 1 ounce of water evaporated faster </em>
<em>when it had more surface area.</em></span>
============================================
============================================

<u>Experiment B:</u>

-- Again, pour 1 ounce of water into the wide dish with the large surface area.
-- Again, set the dish in the second half of the box ... the one the air passes
through just before it leaves the box.
-- This time, place another wide dish full of water in the <em>first section </em>of the box,
so that the air has to pass over it before it gets through the wall to the wide dish
in the second section.  Now, the air that's evaporating water from the dish in the
second section already has vapor in it before it does the job.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
==========================================
<em>Show that it took longer to evaporate when the air </em>
<em>blowing over it was already loaded with vapor.</em>
==========================================

What help in reversing direction of current of current​
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

<em>To reverse the direction of an electric current, we simply reverse the voltage either automatically with the help of some switching circuitry or manually by changing the voltage source terminals connection.  </em>

Explanation:

For electric current to flow, there must be a potential difference, usually referred to as the voltage. The electric current flow is analogous to the flow of water under the action of a pump, through a series of pipe connections. The voltage is similar to the driving action of the pump, and current flows the same way water flows. The resistance due to drag on the pipe wall is equivalent to electric resistance. For current to flow in the reverse direction, the voltage or rather, the potential difference is changed, causing the current to flow in the opposite direction. This can be done by switching the terminals of the voltage source, or by automatic means. The automatic switching can be done with a transistor based circuitry.

As you sit in a chair, in what direction (or directions) do you exert an action force?
enyata [817]
As we sit in a chair, Action force will be only in one direction and that direction would be downward only.

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

A body with the inertial
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi there,

To get started, recall the kinematic equations from either a textbook, equation sheet, etc. Kinematic equations are used when acceleration is <em>constant,</em> as stated in the prompt.

Best way to use kinematic equations is to see which variable you are looking for, then which variable is unknown to you and is not needed for that equation.

a) average velocity

Takes the form of:

v_a_v_g=\frac{d_t_o_t_a_l}{t}=\frac{v+v_0}{2} this is the literal definition of average velocity; initial plus final divided by 2.

We know total displacement and total time elapsed, so we will use the middle form of the equation:

v_a_v_g=\frac{1640m}{40s}=41 \ m/s

b) the final velocity

We can still use the average velocity formula, as the other two equations that include final velocity have acceleration variable which is unknown as of now.

Solve for final velocity:

v=(2v_a_v_g)-v_o = 2(41 \ m/s) - (8 m/s) = 74 m/s\\ this makes sense, since a velocity later in time is higher than a velocity earlier in time. It is increasing with increasing time because of acceleration.

c) the acceleration

There are two equations that can be used to solve this, but we will use the less time-consuming one, but both produce same answer:

a = \frac{v-v_0}{t_t_o_t_a_l} = \frac{(74-8)m/s}{40s} =1.65 m/s^{2}

Notice, change in velocity over change in time, and acceleration is constant. When acceleration is constant, it models a linear function, and acc. is just slope!

Study well and persevere. If you liked this solution, hit Thanks or give a rating!

thanks,

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST. Which gas became part of Earth's atmosphere as a result of the evolution of life-forms?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Earth's atmosphere was largely made up of nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases. After photosynthesizing organisms multiplied on Earth's surface and in the oceans, much of the carbon dioxide was replaced with oxygen.

Idk if this helps but plz mark brainliest if it does
