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

Maksim231197 [3]3 years ago

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.

ow long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly ten swings per second? (That is, one complete vibration takes exactly
Igoryamba
The period T of a pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the length of the pendulum while g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration.

In the pendulum of the problem, one complete vibration takes exactly 0.200 s, this means its period is T=0.200 s. Using this data, we can solve the previous formula to find L:
L=g ( \frac{T}{2\pi} )^2=(9.81 m/s^2)( \frac{0.2 s}{2 \pi} )^2=1 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1 mm

Explain the relationship between lightning and storm clouds.
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: Often lightning occurs between clouds or inside a cloud. But the lightning we usually care about most is the lightning that goes from clouds to ground.

Explanation:  As the storm moves over the ground, the strong negative charge in the cloud attracts positive charges in the ground.

Three resistors connected in series have potential differences across them labeled /\V1 , /\V2 , and /\V3. What expresses the po
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3

Explanation:

We are given that three resistors R1, R2 and R3 are connected in series.

Let

Potential difference across R_1=\Delta V_1

Potential difference across R_2=\Delta V_2

Potential difference across R_3=\Delta V_3

We know that in series  combination

Potential difference ,V=V_1+V_2+V_3

Using the formula

\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3

Hence, this is required expression for potential difference.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

E = 24000 N/C = 24 KN/C

Explanation:

The electric field experienced by a test charge is given by the following formula:

E = \frac{F}{q}\\\\

where,

E = Electric Field = ?

F = Force of attraction = 3 x 10⁻⁶ N

q = Charge on piece of lint = 1.25 x 10⁻¹⁰ C

Therefore, using these values in the equation, we get:

E = \frac{3\ x\ 10^{-6}\ N}{1.25\ x\ ^{-10}\ C}\\\\

<u>E = 24000 N/C = 24 KN/C</u>
