What happens to the boiling point of water as you climb higher up a mountain?

Physics

Maksim231197 [3]3 years ago
4 0
The higher the pressure, the higher boiling point of water. At lower the pressure, the boiling point of water comes down. So, the lower pressure inreases the boiling resulting more evaporation. As we go higher in altitude, the atmospheric pressure decreases. This results in decreasing the boiling point at higher altitude and increase in boiling of water. In fact, at the sea level ,the the sea water boils at 100 degree C where atmospheric pressre is normal. However , the boiling takes place at a lower temperature at the top of a mountain due to low pressure. In other words the boling is faster at the top of a mountain than that at its foot.

Which is a concern about mining for uranium? Heated water could be released into the environment. Dust released in the air could
saw5 [17]

Answer: Dust released in the air could be radioactive.

Explanation:

Uranium is a radioactive element. It decays naturally to attain stability. While mining, the dust displaces into the air causing not only harm to environment but for the workers as well. The released in the air could be radioactive which would be inhaled posing threat for lung cancer.

Thus, the correct answer is dust released in the air could be radioactive is a concern about mining Uranium.

A 0.22-caliber handgun fires a 27-g bullet at a velocity of 755 m/s. is the wave nature of matter significant for bullets?
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>All matter can exhibit wave-like behavior, but the question asks if it is significant. A bullet is a very, very large object compared to the light wave-particles where the wave nature is typically observed. So for an object of this magnitude, it is insignificant.</span>

A particle that has mass m and charge q enters a uniform magnetic field that has magnitude B and is directed along the x axis. T
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) The trajectory will be a helical path.

b) θ = 2*π rad

Explanation:

a) Since the initial velocity of the particle has a component parallel (x-component) to the magnetic  field B , the trajectory will be a helical path.

b) Given

t = 2*π*m/(q*B)

We can use the equation

θ = ω*Δt

where

θ is the angular displacement

ω is the angular speed, which is obtained as follows:

ω = q*B/m

then we have

θ = (q*B/m)*2*π*m/(q*B)

⇒  θ = 2*π rad

What is the difference between a bound orbit and an unbound orbit around the sun?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The difference between a bound orbit and an unbound orbit around the sun is that:

An object on a bound orbit pursues the same way around the Sun again and again, while an object on an unbound orbit moves toward the Sun only a single time and afterward stays away forever &  never returns.
