What happens to lava as its temperature increases?

1 answer:

4 0

I will assume you mean liquid lava, that is, magma that has been expelled by a volcano, and is flowing downhill, until it cools and solidifies as lava rock. Liquids typically have a generally inverse relationship between viscosity (resistance to flow) and temperature. That is, as the temperature increases, viscosity generally decreases (i.e., the lava gets “thinner” and “runnier”), as Gopismhas said. However, generally, in nature, lava doesn’t increase in temperature, but rather cools as it is expelled and flows downhill, and thus it is getting more and more viscous…until it solidifies.

You are trying to find out how high you have to pitch a water balloon in order for it to burst when it hits the ground. You disc

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

You found that the best height to pitch a water balloon in order for it to

burst when it hits the ground is 12 meters.

We consider that the 12 meters is the maximum height, so the velocity

at this height is zero.

To find the velocity when the balloon hits the ground lets use the rule

v² = u² + 2gh, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, g is

the acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

u = 0 , h = 12 m , g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values in the equation above

v² = 0 + 2(9.8)(12)

v² = 235.2

Take square root for both sides

v = ± $\sqrt{235.2}$

The velocity is downward, then it's a negative value

Then v = -15.34 m/s

The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s

Which interactions are part of the greenhouse effect? Select three options.

Allisa [31]

Out of the given options, the following interactions are part of the greenhouse effect,

Gases in the atmosphere absorb heat
Earth’s surface radiates energy back into the atmosphere
Gases in the atmosphere radiate heat back to the surface

Answers: Options A, D and E

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect, basically a warming effect caused by the greenhouse gases such as Carbon-Di-oxide, Methane, nitrous oxides, water vapour etc. These gases usually trap the heat that Earth Absorbs by the Sun.

In the day time, the Earth absorbs the energy in the form of heat which is radiated by the Sun. In the evening, the process gets reversed and the Earth starts releasing that heat into the atmosphere.

Now, this heat gets absorbed by this gases before it leaves the Earth's atmosphere and gets trapped there only, resulting in the temperature raise of the Earth's environment.

So, the prime causes of the greenhouse effect remains as the heat radiation from the Sun, the absorption of that heat by the Earth surface and the further absorption of that heat produced by the greenhouse gases that present in the atmosphere.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

The stored elastic energy of compressed spring

= 1 / 2 k X²

= .5 x 19.6 x (.20)²

= .392 J

b ) The stored potential energy will be converted into gravitational potential energy of the block earth system when the block will ascend along the incline . So change in the gravitational potential energy will be same as stored elastic potential energy of the spring that is .392 J .

c ) Let h be the distance along the incline which the block ascends.

vertical height attained ( H ) =h sin30

= .5 h

elastic potential energy = gravitational energy

.392 = mg H

.392 = 2 x 9.8 x .5 h

h = .04 m

A person fires a 38 gram bullet straight up into the air. It rises, then falls straight back down, striking the ground with a sp

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Force exerted = 25.41 kN

Explanation:

We have equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

u = 345 m/s, s = 8.9 cm = 0.089 m, v = 0 m/s

0² = 345²+2 x a x 0.089

a = -668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = Mass x Acceleration

Mass of bullet = 38 g = 0.038 kg

Acceleration = 668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = 25409.83 N = 25.41 kN
