8 0

The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.

How much force does a soccer goalie

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

2 N

Explanation:

From the question, it's given that

Mass m = 0.2 kg

Acceleration a = 10 m/s^2

The force a soccer goalie experience when stopping a ball will be equal to the force at which the ball is being kicked. This is

F = ma

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

F = 0.2 × 10

F = 2 Newton.

Give reason for the following:

Zigmanuir [339]

a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground because of gravitational attraction force of earth.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding.

Explain the difference between the synodic period of a planet and the sidereal period. why is the synodic period often much less

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

-Synodic period is the period of celestial bodies observed on the moving planet(mostly earth)
Sideral period is the period comparing to the fixed stars without motion of the earth involved.

(I will explain the second question with an example, so it's easier to understand)
-For Sideral month for example of the moon it cactually complete one revolution in around 27.3 days.
However, since the earth moves, for us it took some more time to see the moon the same as before (fullmoon to fullmoon) again. That make synodic month of the moon to be around 29.5 days.
