What measurement can be used to determine the stability of the atmosphere?

1 answer:

5 0

I would say pressure, but it might depend on what you mean by stability. Pressure will tell you how many particles and how energized those particles are, the more particles the higher the pressure, the harder it is to change or remove the atmosphere due to the larger mass of it. Also consistent pressure measurements can tell you how stable the atmosphere in a particular region is. So if stability means how consistent are the weather conditions, pressure can be a good indicator too, differences and changing pressures can cause weather catastrophes like tornados and hurricanes.

If a bowl of fruit is sitting on a table in a state of rest, what is the net force acting on it?

Setler79 [48]

A balanced force is upon it because balanced means both sides are equal so they cancel each other out, while unbalanced means one side is weaker/stronger than the other and in this case its in a state of rest so the net force would be equal/balanced.

A raccoon falls out of a tree from a height of 1.2. Which equation can you use to calculate the time it takes for the raccoon to

Inga [223]

Answer:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 1.2 m}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.50 s$

Explanation:

The equation that we can use to calculate the time it takes for the raccoon to fall to the ground is:

$t=\frac{2S}{g}$

where S=1.2 m is the height of the tree and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity. This equation is derived from the equation of the distance in a uniformly accelerated motion, which is given by

$S=S_0 + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where S0 is the initial position, v0 is the initial velocity and t the time. In this problem, we can put S0=0 (we can take the initial position as the initial position of the raccoon) and v0=0 (the raccoon starts from rest), so the equation becomes

$S=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

and since the motion is a free fall, the acceleration is equal to the acceleration of gravity, so a=g:

$S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

And by re-arranging it, we find

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}$

By substituting numbers, we find

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 1.2 m}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.50 s$
