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.

In 1-2 sentences describe how your nose cleans the air you inhale.

svp [43]

Answer: Your nose inhales O2 and goes through these little nose hairs to keep stuff that doesn't belong in your airway, it goes through your nose into your lungs taking in O2 for your blood. The other substances that you have inhaled get absorbed elsewhere and it is converted into CO2 which is what you exhale.

Two 110 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car Z at –10 m/s when t

Marysya12 [62]

From the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1+ m2u2= m1v1+ m2v2
110*8+ 110*-10= 110*-10 + 110* v2
v2= 8 m/sec

A transformer is intended to decrease the value of the alternating current from 500 amperes to 25 amperes. The primary coil cont

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The number of turns in secondary coil is 4000

Explanation:

Given:

Current in primary coil $I_{P} = 500$ A

Current in secondary coil $I_{S} = 25$ A

Number of turns in primary coil $N_{P} = 200$

In case of transformer the relation between current and number of turns is given by,

$\frac{N_{S} }{N_{P} } = \frac{I_{P} }{I_{S} }$

For finding number of turns in secondary coil,

$N_{S} = \frac{I_{P} }{I_{S} } N_{P}$

$N_{S} = \frac{500}{25} \times 200$

$N_{S} = 4000$

Therefore, the number of turns in secondary coil is 4000

Explanation:

Bohr's atomic model for the hydrogen atom states that the energy is

E = - 13.606 / n²

where 13.606 eV is the ground state energy and n is an integer

an atom transition is the jump of an electron from an initial state to a final state of lesser emergy

ΔE = 13.606 (1 / $n_{f}^{2}$ - 1 / n_{i}^{2})

the so-called Lyman series occurs when the final state nf = 1, so the second line occurs when ni = 3, let's calculate the energy of the emitted photon

DE = 13.606 (1/1 - 1/3²)

DE = 12.094 eV

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

DE = 12.094 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 ev) = 10.35 10⁻¹⁹ J

let's find the wavelength is this energy, let's use Planck's equation to find the frequency

E = h f

f = E / h

f = 19.35 10⁻¹⁹ / 6.63 10⁻³⁴

f = 2.9186 10¹⁵ Hz

now we can look up the wavelength

c = λ f

λ = c / f
